she hung up on you but she's not german either so we can't say it's a german thing it's just a personality thing so we thought we'd share with you some of the very free and easy things we've been using to learn german since we've been here i mean in that video we talked about how we're learning using duolingo which kevin completed every single lesson of right yeah well not every single isn't that there is just the whole german just the german one not all the languages it's just german yeah so i did that in i don't know four months or something i mean it's not quite fair because i got a jump start you know knowing swedish and you know words those words they're like exactly the same in swedish so you just change the spelling you just have to know how to convert swedish spelling into german spellings it would be like knowing spanish then learning italian or vice versa yeah very similar so there's a lot of vocabulary it got for free um but so yeah dude so duolingo was really good and he you never paid for it no exactly we kept the free version yeah because well in duolingo you can pay for the advanced one and that gives you more hearts and stuff so you don't have to restart but yeah i did it all with the free version i also like the youtube channel easy german i've watched a lot of those it's nice because they they have them separated into different levels yeah and then lately i've really gotten into coffee break german because i really liked the podcast yeah so i can listen to that on spotify like when i'm doing the dishes or whatever yeah great podcast and it's really great because they have this big long text and you know you kind of catch some of the text and then they go through it advanced yeah it does get advanced but i like that a lot because it gives me a chance to try and listen what the one thing though that's interesting with the free ones is that you get pretty good at reading and you get pretty good at understanding but you don't have a lot of chance to speak right and so right now i can understand quite a lot but formulating those complicated sentences and getting the right word order and getting the right articles right you know i'm i you know it sounds pretty ugly when i talk but i can usually get my my point across but definitely i understand a lot more than than i can speak at the moment it's sort of like you get what you pay for yeah like i'm getting that with lingoda i'm getting the speaking practice and i have a teacher that can correct my pronunciation correct my word order correct my grammar and yeah with free apps you're not going to get that yeah but it's still a great addition to that or if you're doing nothing at all doing something free is better than doing nothing and now i mean what i do a lot is you know communicating with the teachers communicating with people through businesses through email or or whatsapp and so a lot of what i do is like the hockey team there's a whatsapp group for the hockey team and so i'll read through it and see if i understand everything and i'll copy and paste it into either google translate or depot and
