I love Duolingo! I'm currently learning Dutch. It is really helpful for learning to read/write a language, but I haven't had much luck with any of the voice stuff. I find reading the news or Wikipedia articles (simple ones) in Dutch helps a lot. Just gotta find some nearby Dutch folks when I've got a bit more confidence. Also, I have a lot of bilingual friends, so I've started picking up a bit of French.

I think my biggest barrier is my pride. I don't like to mess up in front of people.
