Well that was an utterly soul-destroying Duolingo visit. I'm definitely at some kind of wall. I'm not sure if I'm overloaded and just needing to skip it for a couple of days or my poor brain is just fried with it all. I find getting pulled up for minor spelling mistakes particularly crushing. Anyhoo that's all folks. I'm away to sob into a coffee. 😧

#TheGàidhlig

@MotherOfCats Right. I'm away for my tea and #TheGàidhlig. Have a top night my new trail bud. You're in exalted company because I'm usually a solo. Later. 😉

Double dollops of #TheGàidhlig over and done. Phew! The streak continues although I don't know why I'm bothering about that as it will definitely take a back seat when next year's hikes loom into view. I won't be wasting valuable battery juice streaking on Duolingo that's for sure. Til then I will...I suppose...

If there was ever a day I was close to packing in #TheGàidhlig it was today. Grrr. 🤬

#OnwardsAndUpwards

@MotherOfCats I'm having enough bother with a punitive Duolingo app. Getting picked up for slight spelling errors of #TheGàidhlig. Grr. 🤪

There's an older woman on Duolingo that I always struggle to pick up when trying to listen acutely to #TheGàidhlig. It was difficult enough when she just popped in for the odd word but she's now trotting out long sentences and she talks quickly. Very quickly. I suppose it'll help in the long run. 😬 😯 😖 😳

#TheGàidhlig #StickingIn #MadForIt

@BillySangster I definitely feel I'd be further on if that was possible. Not much #TheGàidhlig amongst the wildlife up here. 😂

I feel like the sensory overload has relented and I seem to be making less mistakes and am definitely understanding more...so that's progress. Right? 🤔

#TheGàidhlig

@lasara Are you still stealing underpants for Iain's fast grandmother's buses? 🤔 😂

#TheGàidhlig

A much less painful #TheGàidhlig lesson there than of late. In my case I definitely have to stop practising late at night. I remain perturbed, however, at the amount of flagrant underpants theft that seems to be going on. I'm definitely thinking I need a textbook to be accompanying Duolingo though. Appropriate googling commences. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was today old when I found out you could turn off the streak counter and those stupid leagues in Duolingo. What a relief. It was starting to feel like the teacher was looking over your shoulder in class...constantly. Night off. Definitely. Back refreshed tomorrow.

#TheGàidhlig

@robynparry Once Donald steals enough light blue shorts to hear the six kittens buying three buses you're made for life! #TheGàidhlig

Painful effort at #TheGàidhlig today. I seem to have hit a wall. I'll have to up my game or change my routine or something. I'm making basic errors at points and at others I can whizz through easily. I'm my own worst critic. It's probably not that bad. It just feels infuriating to keep forgetting the appropriate Gaelic word for ice-cream. Grr. At least I now know how to say Donald is stealing enough short trousers. That should come in handy...

#TheGàidhlig

I'm gratified to have learned today that Donald is stealing enough underpants. The relief is palpable. #TheGàidhlig #Phew 😳

I so hope I run into a famous grandmother buying kittens the next time I'm on Skye...
#TheGàidhlig

Snèap. Vegetable and insult. #TheGàidhlig

Max Noble and Marli on Duolingo are really starting to get on my nips big time. Their smug wee faces smiling away when I've just struggled to remember how to spell socks in #TheGàidhlig is deeply, deeply irritating. 😂

It's so dark it's hardly worth looking out of the window today. I'm away to retreat to the sanity of Duolingo #TheGàidhlig to see if those two kittens wearing kilts are still seeing and hearing my fat sister waiting to buy socks!

It's a dreich one doon the glen. I'll be throwing a few carrots oot for the deer and then finding some rank rotten nonsense I can binge watch so I don't have to constantly rewind for fear of missing a vital plot detail. And Duolingo #TheGàidhlig obvs.

"I do not want two windows" and "I have a fat sister". Two phrases I am unlikely to ever use. #TheGàidhlig
