Picture this: you're on holiday in Europe, and the last thing you want is to stand out like a tourist in jorts, a polo, and a fanny pack. Instead, imagine charming the locals with your French, Italian, or Greek. Here’s how you can make that happen. Duolingo has leveled up. It’s not just grammar drills—it’s challenges, competitions, and audio lessons that help you sound like a local. And yes, it’s free. But here’s the real secret: Tandem. It’s like having a language partner from the country you’re visiting, someone who helps you learn their language while you help them with English. You’ll make friends, learn the lingo, and get a taste of the culture before you even land. Check it out and see where it takes you!
