So with my previous 96-day streak, I have now been studying languages every day for the past 2,000 days, or about five and a half years. In that time I\u2019ve completed courses in Swedish, Russian, Danish, Romanian, Czech, Esperanto and Dutch. I also finished all the Spanish lessons, but then they added a whole bunch of new ones, which I\u2019m working on those at the moment. I\u2019m also refreshing my Japanese and Scottish Gaelic.<\/p>\n<p>Do I speak all these languages now? Well, yes and no. I speak some of them fairly well, and can at least have basic conversations in the others. Some I understand and can read better than I speak or write them. The one I know the least of is Romanian, which I hadn\u2019t studied before and tried to learn just using Duolingo. I found it difficult trying to work out the grammar, and there were no explanations.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I\u2019ve been enjoying using Super Duolingo (formerly Duolingo Plus). Normally you have to pay a monthly subscription for it, but I can use it for free, thanks to people who have signed up via one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/invite.duolingo.com\/BDHTZTB5CWWKSBWBF24RLVBUCM\">links on Omniglot<\/a>. For each person that signs up, I get a free week. Would it be worth paying for this? Maybe, if you can afford it. You don\u2019t have to worry about making mistakes as you don\u2019t run out of hearts, except in the crown levels, you can practise your mistakes and take tests.<\/p>\n<p>Have you tried Super Duolingo? If so, what do you think of it?<\/p>\n<p>For more Omniglot News see:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/\">https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Omniglossia\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Omniglossia<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/omniglot\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/omniglot\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Omniglot-100430558332117\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Omniglot-100430558332117<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also listen to this podcast on: <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/radio-omniglot\/id1432641094\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/8b1b1d1b-b39e-4277-b28d-479a3b5043b3\/radio-omniglot\">Amazon Music<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/radio-omniglot\">Stitcher<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Education-Podcasts\/Radio-Omniglot-p1154145\/\">TuneIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/radio-omniglot-716327\">Podchaser<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/player.fm\/series\/radio-omniglot\">PlayerFM<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/podtail.com\/da\/podcast\/radio-omniglot\/\">podtail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to support this podcast, you can make a donation via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/uk\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=aLjPfXL-vP_1gQ_U23Iz8_hSWLlhzLHPMFZrt32dIEfG8htoNFLYaPoWkv8&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8def8934b92a630e40b7fef61ab7e9fe63\">PayPal<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/omniglot\">Patreon<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/donations.htm\">contribute to Omniglot in other ways<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.koreanclass101.com\/member\/go.php?r=614&amp;i=b0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.koreanclass101.com\/images\/aff_banner\/468_60.gif\" alt=\"The Fastest Way to Learn Korean with KoreanClass101\" width=\"630\" height=\"81\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Omniglot News (09\/10\/22)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-10-09T14:20:16+00:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Here\u2019s the latest news from the world of Omniglot.\n\nThere are new language pages about:\n\n \t\u00c4iwoo, an Oceanic language spoken mainly in the Reef Islands in Temotu Province of the Solomon Islands.\n \tIaai, a Southern Oceanic language spoken in New Caled...\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3\" \/><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5057\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2253-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/radio\/?powerpress_pinw=2253-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/radio_omniglot\/www.omniglot.com\/news\/news091022.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"news091022.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p>Here\u2019s the latest news from the world of Omniglot.
