https://www.duolingo.com/ is an amazing website to learn many languages. My mother language is Spanish and I am trying to learn Romanian through English. It is fun. I also want to learn German and Portuguese to speak to my nieces and nephew although they also speak Spanish and even better than me.

The guy who founded Duolingo is also the guy who invented Captchas.

When my daughter was grad student at Michigan she was told that it was almost impossible to speak both Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Ironically, her Mexican boyfriend who was a grad student in OR had lived in Brazil for many years. He was the exception.

Despite his surname, maybe from Netherlands, the founder of the duolingo and developer of Gotcha is from Guatemala and he is graduated from Carnegie Mellon and Duke. Many schools in Latinamerica, most of them in poor places, are using this tool to teach languages to their students. Really nice.

When children live in multilingual environments and/or move from country to country to face new languages they achieve to speak fluently several languages at an very early age. I am not sure which one is the native language of the children of my family. Maybe they have multiple native languages. On Sun, Aug 19, 2018 at 1:33 PM, Frank Wimberly <[hidden email]> wrote:

The founder of Duolingo is Luis Von Ahn. Von Ahn joined the Computer Science faculty at Carnegie Mellon when I was on the faculty of the Heinz College and the Statistics Department His wife was a colleague in the Heinz College.
