Duolingo Yay or Nay ?
I'm starting my Portuguese learning journey and I'm going for Duolingo besides listening to music and speaking with my friend. I'm already bored of the repetition but I have to say : the vocabulary sticks in my brain ! What is your opinion ? Have you used Duolingo for your French learning ?

Good to start to build vocabulary but then no
I've no idea why..
Last weekend we went to a Japanese evening at our l9cal restaurant (we live in France 🇫🇷). The owners are our friends, after the meal there was a 'private party' (i.e a lock in) for the sons birthday. We had a great time, we started playing word games from Netflix with everyone else - you know there is a four x four grid of letters a ND you get points for finding words. I'm REALLY good at these in english, I just see the patterns. But in french??? Turns out we were good in French as well - We came second every round!! Then we asked if we could swap to English to see the results - i couldn't believe it, it was like my brain had switched off English!! We came 3rd/4th!!! People guessing with absolutely no knowledge of english did better. I wonder if it was a) the late hour b) the wine 🍷 or c) my brain was just completely tuned to French for the whole evening 🤔
 I've no idea why..
Talk about your activities in French ?
I wrote this article to help you get the right formula to talk about your activities in French (sport, playing instrument...) Basically, you need 2 verbs - FAIRE et JOUER - and some vocabulary. In this article, you will also find the links toward some flash cards. Ready to dive ?

Why your French learning journey needs to be interesting based on?

David, hubby, has got into reading Tin Tin books which is loves. There is also the radio shows on Radio France which he also really enjoys. I haven't as yet found my 'goto' French interesting topic, but I do like reading the cooking magazines - the adverts and the food. It is interesting that mine and Davids lexicon is very different - he understands fishing, diy and garden terms. I understand crochet, painting, decorating, sewing and cooking words.
