For reasons that remain obscure to me, I picked Italian. Instead, I decided to learn something new. However, I got bored with the beginner exercises you need to work through before you can progress. In 2017, I discovered Duolingo and thought it would be a good tool to revise my rusty French and Spanish. I made daily lists of words to memorise, worked my way through books of grammar exercises and tried to speak the languages as often as possible. I struggled with languages at school but found I picked up a usable amount of Spanish and French while working and travelling in Central America and West Africa in my twenties. ‘App’ wouldn’t enter my vocabulary for another 20 years. The last time I studied a language, we barely had computers.
