I studied German in college, and was just terrible at it: And because it was a class, the further behind I got, the worse my experience was. Standing in front of a class and sounding just.. obviously bad really hit me hard.

I'm about a year and a half into daily Duolingo German: I'm not going to say I "get it", but I'm doing better at grokking the grammar and I'm further than I ever was in class. I'm a few months from being entirely done with their course.

I'll be doing italki afterwards.
