With Duolingo it is possible to achieve something and not something I will be using on a daily basis, but as even in a short period of time. an art medium I find it very intriguing!

The Italian language is used for conversing with family in Italy, most of whom do not speak English. My spelling, in Italian, is not always perfect so Duolingo is helping me to improve. Duolingo appears to be a bit of a whacky program but there is certainly a method to it which gets you learning and using the same words in different contexts. I will continue to use it until whenever! No time limit- just as long as the interest is there. I am guessing, that when you reach the top level in all topics, you can continue to revise them!
