A1-A2: man, there're so many words I need to know in order to say literally anything
B1-B2: wow, what I know is enough now
C1-C2: man, there're so many weirdly specific words I need to know in order to describe these weirdly specific things I've only seen once in my life. Also I forgot how to say ceiling.

Been using it to learn Italian and French mostly, and I do a little bit of German. Batman speaks 20+ languages, so I got some catching up to do!

My mum's side of the family: Learn Greek so you can talk to us!
My high school Spanish teacher: You scored really high on the test, I hope you continue to take this class.
My high school French teacher: You're good at French, you should keep studying it.
Personal interests: You should study Japanese so you can learn more about me!
Me, nervously sweating, staring at my Duolingo realizing I might have to learn 4 languages.

Lesbian Themed Reading Lesson on Duolingo
Of all the languages I have studied on Duolingo, I haven't found a reading lesson with an LGBT theme except for French. As you can see from the photo, they both are women and they love each other. I like this.
Je t'aime!

The language switches I do are hilarious to me because-as a native English speaker-my ENTIRE pitch changes. Here is how I sound speaking different languages:
Japanese: Slightly higher and almost bouncy, like a caffeinated squirrel combined with an 11 year old sticky iPad boy who just got a Fortnite pack.
Russian: 65-year-old male chain smoker who won’t stop talking about that one time his friend shot him in the hand “by accident”
Scots Gaelic: Like me but…classier? Slightly deeper than normal pitch.
French: Deeper voice, almost like a man who tastes wine and smells cheese before it’s shipped to aristocrats around the world for a living.
Navajo: Me but more bouncy with more fluctuation.
NOTE: these are MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I am in NO WAY an expert or native speaker of these languages, and I do not believe that everyone who speaks these languages sounds the same or experiences them the way I do (no shit bc I only really fluently speak “Yee Yee” American (not that there’s anything wrong with that))
