Looks like my library has Mango too!

A lot do, it's a great service for them to offer.

Any recommendations on audio learning for languages? I have used Pimsleur in the past for when I have long drives.

Everyone seems to get really high on French compared to other languages.

I’ve re-earned 61% three times today.

Was going to start this to learn some languages not really looked into the app. Do you just listen to them speak and click things. Or do you have to "speak" back to them.

I want to know to see if I can just listen and click while on train and waiting or do I need a headset with mic?

You are supposed to speak back, but you can telll it that you can't right now.

It's been more than half a year. I started in 2016, I had a huge steak before I moved to Italy, totally maxed out my DL Italian. Then lost a whopping streak of like 60 days at MangoCon. Took a few weeks off. Then started this streak and just now hit the quarter year mark. We might be over a year now.

[scottalanmiller]

Just looked. This is week 54 of the challenge. So over a year.

When are they adding Romanian? It has been on their coming soon page for a bit. I learned some phrases/grammar with our Romanian group at the holiday party on Friday night.
Got some of it right away as it is so close to latin/Italian/Spanish/French. then there's a bit of Slavic/Cyrillic in there too.
