I’m one of those people who seem to pick up the basics of language easily. My wife finds it both extremely annoying and incredibly helpful.

It’s far from perfect, but a few weeks of duo lingo before you head out to your destination helps a ton!

Duo Lingo seems a wonderful tool, I have not played with that (but my son is using it for his hobby).

I quite like languages, though have to graft at them - the thing is, it seems an exercise in learning the world from a differing perspective, not just the nuts and bots of communication.

Possibly that is why I like going to the trees as well.

(I don't talk to the trees. Well, alright I do. They don't talk back. Yet).

That is where Duo Lingo is useful. It’s been designed for us to learn in a much more natural way, you’ll find random words will stick in your head for a while rather than things you might think useful. I urge anyone here to give it a try, just note that sometimes the pronunciation for things is a bit iffy.

Maybe the trees don’t speak your language…

My other half says the same thing when I talk to the cat.

Cats would ignore me, no matter what language I spoke to them in...
