So today I was playing around with Duolingo, besides going back through the German course for a second time to help with memorization. I was also going through the first few lessons in Dutch and Spansish. Dutch is pretty easy now that I have a base in German, plus Dutch shares a couple words with English, "water" being one, and "man" being another. And some words aren't too different from German either, maybe different spellings but similar pronunciations. So I kind of like Dutch as a language.

Spanish on the other hand was a little difficult, I don't remember much of anything, butbwas able tonfugure out the phrases and words pretty okay, not very well though. I wish I remembered my Spanish, Hell I wish Inwould have payed more attention in school in my Spanish classes, I took two years, Inshould have remembered something, but alas I didn't. I do have a facebook friend whonspeaks Spanish who is willing to help if and when I decide to learn Spamishbagain, except it will be a different dialect from Mexican Spanish as he is from Venezuela, but it shouldn't be too much of a difference or problem, it's still Spanish.

I will say say languages are interesting, I've felt that way for a few years now, having originally listened to songs in Finnish, but Inswitiched to German for my music (though I still have a couple songs in Finnish in my playlist on Spotify) there is also a song by Bon Jovi his song "I'll Be there for You" has a Spanish version and it is a lot better than the English version, Inhave the Spanish version on my mp3 player, and the only way I understand it is because I memorized the English version.

If it wasn't for a Facebook post about not judging a person who speaks broken English, I would have never decided to learn another language at all (though I did start thinking about it in the beginning of 2017, just lost motivation, but now I'm motivated).
