It probably goes without saying that as English speakers, we need some help learning Italian and Dutch before we embark on our journey. Brushing up on some French will also help while we travel around Montreal and Quebec. We added these 2 apps to our phones and tablets, and they have been fantastic tools for learning just 5 to 10 minutes each day, adding words to our vocabulary and testing our memory over and over until the words ‘sink in’. Duolingo has been particularly good for Amelia, as a six year old, as she is getting a good grasp of pronunciation and articulation. Isaac enjoys both apps, and both children know that before they can play any games, they learn some Italian first … bit by bit … every day!
