Summary of my 2025 language learning on Duolingo! I am in top 2% learners worldwide! Have done Spanish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, French and German. Currently on level 22 of Spanish and done all levels available in Ukrainian! Hungarian proving really difficult. French and German are for revision
Not to brag but this was a good year for my language learning!

Yippee - Ukrainian language has been updated in @duolingoverde.bsky.social and now I can carry on past level 25!
Got a bit rusty (only 71%} on first lesson back but really happy.

Do not ask me why but I have four different languages on the go in Duolingo. No idea what possessed me to do that but it sure can cause confusion.
French’s and Spanish are fine but throw Hungarian in the mix and keep reviewing Ukrainian and you see my problem!
