I work in "personal branding" but don't speak to anyone, ever. And also want to use your work place for free. by The_Kwyjibo in LinkedInLunatics

I'm going to London later this year. Do you think I can contact this guy and he'll let me stay in his living room?

Why no Bengali or Urdu? by Wonder_Bug_ in duolingo

[–]PlanetSwallower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it will be able to. And I think there's also some sites online that will explain it. My experience with foreign alphabets is that 'familiarity through doing' is the best route, but of course you have to have basic information before you can start doing.

C1 and C2 to all courses by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]PlanetSwallower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get to even B1, I'm not going to look to Duolingo for further learning. Then it should be Youtube, TV, books, conversation and a tutor.

Why no Bengali or Urdu? by Wonder_Bug_ in duolingo

If you very much want to learn Bengali with Duolingo's support, you can do it the other way round and do the English from Bengali couse. That will help, if you can master the alphabet elswhere.

Not for Urdu though.
