Duo Me

With the help of the Duolingo app, I’ve been learning Japanese since December. Inspired by my example, Inna began refreshing her Hebrew in March.

So we’ve had a little time to hear one another’s practice as well as compare notes on what we’re being taught. And the results are more than a little bit interesting.

To amuse my captain, I’ve included a few screen shots of the everyday phrases we’re learning. Let’s start with my newly-acquired Japanese language skills:

I eat a lot.I sometimes drink alone.I drink alcohol every night.
   
We got divorced because my cat was too cute.What is her phone number?Today I will play with her.
   
She wears underwear.They wear white underwear.Are you a woman?

And now let’s compare my Japanese phrases to the vocabulary that Inna is picking up in Hebrew:

The victim speaks with his lawyer.Why do we need education?This girl is eating everything.
   
He drinks the seven beers in three minutes.The five ducks are drinking wine.This duck is illegal.
   
I am happy because my bunny is finally opening a bank account.My cat will be happy to see you bit I won’t.There is a possibility that your monkey is not a good secretary.
   
What is the influence of tomatoes on our population?Not everything has meaning.Everything ends.

I’m sure no further elaboration is necessary.
