Bravissima! Oops, Italianesque.

¡Muy bien! Nope, Spanish.

Let’s try this: “You rock!”

I can see you at a piano singing French songs as you play.

All the best in 2024!

Oh, playing the piano may be far in my future but from your lips to Liberace's ears! Thank you for your vote of confidence Gary!

Wow Linda!! You are an inspiration. I love how clear you are with your goals for 2024. This is one thing I want to work on in 2024...being more clear on where I'm going. (if that makes sense).

Your french is sound great and so is Japanese. wow! Is Duolingo an app or something?

Thank you.

Yes, Duolingo is a 'free' app (free with ads).

You can start setting direction any time, Julie. January 1 is an arbitrary date. April 27th or March 3rd are as good dates as any to decide on direction or re-direction. You underestimate how much you already are moving forward - three published books later with a fourth on the way. Remarkable!

Linda what a fabulous goal! I love the clarity of this and the many ways you’ve spelled out to empower your learning.

I so regret not learning a foreign language when I was younger. I worked at French for four months this past year prior to going to Provence, and discovered I did have an ear for the pronunciation, but I just don’t have enough opportunities to use it so it sticks.
