Learning a language where it is spoken is one of the Top 5 wishes on every learner's bucket list. In this episode, we explore stories and tips about language learning - including Lindsay's travels to Costa Rica, and what Kerstin's English was like on day 1 in England.

We started off the show comparing a few Duolingo notes, and finally find out what happens when you finish a Duolingo skill tree.
