    Any age is good! I am almost 80 and learning Italian and Japanese (and even a little Ukrainian with DuoLingo.) I understand grammar, have a large sense of concepts and vocabulary -- and I'm not afraid to speak (except maybe in Japanese!) My 10-year old Danish granddaughter is at a bad age for learning languages (her mother didn't bring her up bilingual with English as she and her brother were.) She understands a lot of English, because she's heard it all her life -- and Danish films are usually subtitled, not dubbed! But she's embarrassed that someone will laugh at her mistakes or how "cute" she is when she's trying to speak it, so she is just silent when she can't talk Danish with someone. But this summer we're going to Italy, where even the Italians don't speak perfect English, so I hope she'll be less embarrassed using her English there! She can speak Danish with me, but not with my husband, nor with the Italians we meet! She also has 2 English cousins, only one of whom speaks fluent Danish. I hope this summer will break through her embarrassment (also while she watches me struggling to communicate in Italian!)

    Pawel, Tu me manques= *Tu manques à moi. *J'espère que te vois, parce que tu n'es pas ici avec moi. *J'ai besoin de toi. "Tu" est le sujet de la verbe "manquer". "Me" est l'objet indirect Dans beaucoup de langues, comme en anglais, c'est comme ça: I miss you.

    As you can see in the Non-Japanese Residents by Municipality chart, foreigners mostly have not been increasing in theTohoku area. This is the reason why some parents in my area think that we don't need to speak English. <strike>In</strike> <strike>those</strike> For this reason<strike>s</strike>, I think that city boys and rural boys will gradually <strike>become</strike> have/get a big the difference in the ability <strike>of</strike> in English. Because children don't think they will need to speak English in a rural area, they don't try hard to learn it.

    Hi Tim. I've just started my holidays. I'm traveling with my big family in the Carpathians. We are staying in a hotel in the small village of Polyana. There are scenic mountains, small and fast rivers, lakes with trout and other beautiful places in this <strike>settlement </strike> area.
    We have already visited<strike> the castle</strike> Palanok Castle in Mukachevo. This castle is located on a high hill in the middle of the city and there is a beautiful view of the surroundings. Also we visited the historical part of Mukachevo. It was very interesting.
    After that we visited the city of Beregovo. This location is famous for its thermal springs. We swam in one of them.
    And what about you? It would be great if you could visit me during this holiday. Take care and write soon.
    Your friend Vlad.

    Hej Alba!

    Jeg ville gerne foreslå den svensk-dansk serie, Broen. Den er meget spændende. Den handler om en serie mord, der foregår både i Malmø og i København, og det første på selve broen der forbinder de to lande. https://g.co/kgs/6FdFQt

    Og fordi jeg boede mange år i Århus, elsker jeg også serien Dicte, som foregår dér. Jeg kender alle steder hvor hun færdes. Så får jeg hjemve! https://g.co/kgs/CHX3fK Dicte er journalist på lokalavisen, og blander sig hele tiden i politiets efterforskning.Hun har også en interesante baggrunds historie med sin familie. 
    Hvis du tør, er serien baseret på en række noveller.https://www.plusbog.dk/blog/raekkefoelgen-paa-elsebeth-egholms-boeger-om-dicte-svendsen-58/

    Hvis du kan finde det, er der en meget gammel serie, Matador, hvor alle aktorene var meget kendte- eller blev det bagefter. Det foregår fra omkring 1935-1945 og handler især om to meget forskellige familier (og deres hushjælp) som bor i en lille provinsby syd for København. https://g.co/kgs/ir3rKt

    Og en rigtig god serie om en kvinde der bliver statsminister, Borgen: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1526318/

    Så fandt jeg denne side, der nævner flere andre: https://woman.dk/underholdning/film-serier/her-er-de-19-allerbedste-danske-serier-du-skal-se-mindst-en-gang

    Og så fandt jeg også denne krimi bogserie fra Esbjerg: https://jenshenrikjensen.dk/c/boeger/oekseskibet

    Cómo yo cocino un soufflé He escrito eso para mi DuoLingo grupo, pero ningún corrige lo que escribamos allí. Necesité consultar el diccionario muchos veces por los verbos que están usados en una receta. Mi receta favorita es soufflé. Para nos dos, uso 3-4 huevos, qué separo, y bato la clara hasta que es muy rígida. Fundo 30 grammas mantequilla, mezclo 2 cucharadas harina con la mantequilla y pues añado 2.5 cl leche, y lo cocino hace que espesa. Pués apago la fuega y añado 2-3 dl quéso rallado, y pués las yemas de los huevos. Al fin mezcla las claras batidas cuidamente con los ingredientes cocinados, lo pongo en una forma para soufflé, qué está engrasada con aceite o mantequilla. Pongo la forma en el forno a 200 C grados (400 F) para 25-30 minutos, hasta qué está bronceda y rigida. Debes comerla inmediamente!

    I think it is OK now, except That person is a diver, aren't they? Yes, THEY are. Since you've already introduced the pronoun they.
