Getting closer to the technical end of my lessons. Then I’ll go through all of them again for a refresher. 👀 #learndutch #ikbeneenappel #duolingodutch #duolingo https://www.instagram.com/p/CglYrdvtDmz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is ALWAYS true. 😸 #learndutch #duolingodutch #kattenfilmpjes #ikbeneenappel https://www.instagram.com/p/CcU4-7bswK5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

500 days in a row of #dutchlearning with @duolingo and I’ve come a long way since #ikbeneenappel! Still nowhere near where I’d like to be, but that comes with more practice and immersion. Swipe to see examples of my current lessons. I’ve only been teaching myself in my limited spare time. I’m lucky if I can fit in 15-20 minutes a day, unfortunately, or I might learn quicker. I do try to supplement with music and videos where I can, but it’s still difficult for me to form sentences I’m satisfied with on the fly and quickly enough in written conversation, due to my annoying tendencies towards perfectionism. I don’t think I have any problems with pronunciation but a native could probably judge that better than I can. I saw an interesting video that suggested I should approach conversation in the same way a baby does, and it gave me something to think about. I’ll get there eventually. #learndutch #duolingodutch #duolingo #duolingo500days #duolingo500 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbKMEfgA7WK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can we talk about these new @duolingo character faces? Junior seems super surprised that I got every question in the lesson right. It’s almost patronizing. 😂 #learndutch #duolingodutch #ikbeneenappel #duolingo https://www.instagram.com/p/Cal1YGrAa8r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Maybe once on October 11, 1973. 🥲 #duolingo #weirdduolingo #learndutch #duolingodutch #ikbeneenappel https://www.instagram.com/p/CaRefncAORt/?utm_medium=tumblr

You can’t just tell me this and not expect me to be curious, Duo. 👀 #duolingoafterdark #weirdduolingo #bighands #learndutch #duolingodutch #ikbeneenappel https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ6Q_bTgW33/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been teaching myself Dutch for 450 days now, and I can tell my listening comprehension has improved from even just a few months ago, which is very encouraging! My latest lessons have been talking a lot about singing in Dutch, and I can do that too. Questionably. 😂🎤🎶 #learndutch #duolingodutch #ikbeneenappel #duolingo https://www.instagram.com/p/CZI9i2-N58p/?utm_medium=tumblr
