I recently started using duoling, got a proper internet connection very recently.
I am trying to use it to learn German.
Another language I want to learn is Japanese, which I was unable to find in duolingo.
Please feel free to start a new thread asking people for recommendations on learning Japanese, if you like.
What language are you trying to learn it from? Of course I know of many places to look to learn it from English, but that might not be the language you want to translate back and forth.

I’m trying to learn English, Portuguese, Italian, French and German
I think that having conversation with native speakers is the best choice for those who want to improve their communication skills.
I spent a lot of time looking for conversation partners (with native English speakers), but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Setting up such a system between mozilian would be really helpful.

I actually have a Vidyo room for people to practice English. I have a plan for a launch party when there is enough interest. In the mean time, I’d be happy to set up some times to have conversations. If I have an accent it’s mildly Canadian, but it sounds mostly like what you’d hear from American TV.

Started Brazilian Portuguese, Irish, and Swedish. Been spending more time conversing with Brazilians in Portuguese than using Duolingo for it.
Also, no one here will likely recognize my duolingo or discourse photos since they’re missing my red beard.

I’m using Duolingo to refresh the French I learned many years ago in school, and to learn some Spanish. (I’m embarrassed that I’ve lived 20+ years in Texas and know very little Spanish.)
I recently started with German – genders and cases, oh my!
I’m hoping Turkish for English speakers will be available soon. I think that’s the first non-Indo-European language they will have for English speakers.
Hi there,
Nice to know there are other Mozillians using duolingo.
I’m learning Espanol.

For anyone wanting to learn German, I’m available to help you out! I’m Swiss, so Germans might say that I don’t speak German but yeah, we still have German as an official language and not our “Swiss German”

Sounds like there are enough of us to start a Francais category!
@djug @lourcastillo - When you want to schedule a chat, just start a thread in the English category and let us know when is good for you and what topics you’d like to practice talking about (food, movies, questions about grammar).
I was also looking for the Japanese language. Although I can already speak it, I wanted to brush up on it since it’s been a while since I last actively spoke it. I would have loved to contribute to it though, but I doubt my fluency in the language is high enough

I’m currently learning Spanish. And a shout out to @Majken for introducing me to Duolingo

I was fortunate enough to attend a TED talk by Luis von Ahn that took place almost exactly a month before the launch of the beta. He actually mentioned the countdown (“28 days until the beta launch” or some such). So for several months I tried out the beta and then official release. Then I let it slip off my radar. My wife, however, has become an addict, pursuing lingots with a maniacal obsessiveness. I need to get back to it.
In a related vein, I tried, for a while, lernu! which describes itself as “a multilingual website that provides free courses and information on the international language Esperanto” and may be of interest to some here.
That sounds interesting. I started another thread about tips for other
learning tools. Do you mind posting there and maybe giving a tiny bit more
information? I am not sure how many people are interested in learning
Esperanto. I also wonder if everyone has heard of it.
