Back in November 2015, I decided I should really try to learn Spanish again. I took 3 years of Spanish in High School – back in the 80’s, but haven’t retained much of it. I ordered a copy of my old HS textbook and along with some library resources, I also started working with DuoLingo<\/a> and Memrise<\/a> to work on proficiency. <\/p>\n

I stopped working on this during the holidays and with my online writing group’s JanNoWriMo challenge (National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo<\/a>, but taking place in January), I didn’t work on it much last month, either. But I’m back now, and it appears I’m up to 14% Spanish fluency!<\/p>\n

I’m curious if anyone else is using DuoLingo, Memrise, or other online resources to learn Spanish, or another language – I am also poking around with Norwegian and Japanese. Feel free to comment below about which language(s) you’re trying to master and what online resources you’re using. I wouldn’t mind adding some friends to follow and encourage on language-learning websites. I’m usually out there as Girlnovember on those sites, if you’d like to add me as well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
