App Review: Duolingo

So a lot of people have been trying to learn languages right now and I downloaded Duolingo right before all this happened. Right now I'm on a 25 day streak (at the time writing this... hopefully it's kept up by the time I post this) and I'm learning Spanish, Greek and Italian.

When I first downloaded this app years ago I tried Italian because I took one semester my very LAST semester of college and I wanted to try to keep up with it. I downloaded it again because my boyfriend had started learning Japanese on it and I wanted to try to learn some Greek. I decided to add Spanish to it also because I was pretty good at Spanish in High School and College and I thought that would be a good language to pick up.

It's also not too confusing to do 3 different languages surprisingly. I do get confused between Spanish and Italian sometimes- but I might try to break up when I do them throughout the day. Maybe I'll do Greek before bed and when I wake up and I'll do Italian and Spanish throughout the day not one right after the other- just to make it a little less confusing.

I also want to write down some of the phrases- I've done that for Greek and I should probably do it with Spanish and Italian as well.

Right now I'm doing the best at Spanish- Italian I'm not doing too bad at and Greek has been really difficult. I'm getting a little bit better at greek- but the whole alphabet is different and I have a whole different keyboard for it and it's harder to retain the information. Basically I know the word for Alphabet and that's about it. Ohhh and Pop Corn lol.

I definitely recommend downloading the app because it is really fun and it's good to just have something to learn every single day. Plus the ads aren't as obnoxious as the last game that I reviewed lol.

Bye!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
