@clacke I can't speak anything except the english I was born with. I try to read some other things like news items and fedi posts. The last couple of months I've been doing duolingo spanish and german in the morning and spanish and french in the afternoon. Some days my brain locks up and I can't come up with the simplest article in the right language! Meh. It's good for my sorry old brain to try hard anyhow.
