A great free way to learn languages.

Mine is "bewölkt," which means "cloudy" in German. It's just a lot of fun to say!

I have a weird love of the phrase "alklakis la ligilo" which just means "clicked the link" in Esperanto but there's something so satisfying about saying it out loud. Go on, try it!

Learned a bit of the language alongside my partner and he developed a similar affinity for the word "kuniklo" (rabbit).

We stopped learning aaaaaaaages ago but it's weird how certain things stick in your mind!

"strømper" which means "socks" in Danish. Example sentence: Har du strømper på? (Are you wearing socks?)

I find it very interesting that among words and phrases like "I am..." (minä olen), "you are..." (sinä olet), and so on, Duolingo also thinks it's important that I know the Finnish word for "wizard" (it's "velho," by the way).

Lütfen, which is "please" in Turkish. I just like the sound of it, and how it rolls off the tongue.

"sus" which means "their" in español...
