@Siobhan688078, I live in Germany and here many public libraries offer Rosetta Stone. You only pay the annual fee for the library to get access to RS.

This is a really good idea; our local library here is also pretty well stocked and I'll have a look on Monday. 8-)

Thanks, my friend who's still on Duo did the same thing as it was holding up his practicing routine and I had to go through it with him to understand what was he was doing wrong.

Hello there again.

I find this really irritating, especially as up to now I cou...

Good point, this is an example that can confuse learners. I would put the answer slightly differently, because "he does not drink" somehow conjures up a habit, or something this person is doing regularly for a good reason, e. g. for health reasons he does not drink (alcohol). To get the pr...

If you are looking for the translation of "night", the Welsh translation is "nos", which is assumed to be derived from the Latin "nox". It is a feminine noun with the most common plural form "nosweithiau" (you may also come across "nosau" as a plural...
