I have a meaningless announcement to share. Today I hit my 365 consecutive day of Duolingo Spanish. The only noticeable improvement so far has been that it's now easier to read such authors as Cormac McCarthy and Frank Yerby.

A short update - the contractors came out, fixed the pool cover rails and removed the trash. The discolored deck did not respond to powerwashing (not surprising). The saga continues.

That's because Duolingo is significantly and tons slower paced than any other program, to the point I've seen labeled unnecessarily slow.
You'd be better off going to the library and checking out some books. It's best to have multiple resources anyways, and look up how good they are. I don't know if it's still the case, but last I knew if the only Japanese you had was Rosette Stone then according the Japanese government and their Japanese Language Proficiency Test you are less literate in the langauge than a primary school student.

I tried a few other ways previously. Duolingo is the only one I can comfortably follow. (Age) I do understand what you mean, however. I've watched the "instructor" mandate of Duolingo kill the enthusiasm and the attendance of an adult ESL class. The program is great support, but not an all-in-all.

I am far too stressed. I ****ing hate this job. Yeah, I'm screwed if my car goes down for more than a few days, very much so if it's longer than that.
But ****. I've regained my stride (no more pinched nerve in my back or dealing with their ****), and they don't train me and let me learn how to do things, they think I'm incompetent, the schedule is such a hell it drives a 48% turnover rate (turns out better pay and benefits aren't with it to many) and it's so hard for me to get a job I'm scared if I quit I won't get another. And at this it's probably not reasonable for to think it can get much better for me. After all, this job bull**** is the only thing that hasn't changed for me and gotten better since I moved here. Getting one is still harder than making a robot and I still get stuck in **** jobs with high turnover rates.
Yes, I'm too good for them and it's stressing me out going back to where the only thing they like about me and approve of is that I'm a work horse who runs circles around everyone (and does a way better job).
