   @DeliaChristina one thing I love about Wiktionary is that if gives etymologies for non-English words in English.

     quick #italian lesson. (i'm learning how to talk about travel.)

     the Italian word for german is *tedesco.*

     that's weird to me.
     where the heck is that from?

     my unit on using plurals was good but sort of maddening.

     my sister, an AP Spanish teacher, rolls her eyes when i told her i was learning Italian on duolingo. yeah, i know it's not the perfect pedagogical tool. but it's working....ish.

     [no one talk to me in Italian yet. I'll panic and run screaming.]
