Learning a Language!

So, I know English. I'm learning French at school and it is quite easy for me. But I decided I would learn a new language. I said to myself, why not Spanish?! It's easy to learn because it is so similar to French.  
I was going to get a tutor, but before I got one, I found this app for my iPad. It's called Duolingo and it is completely free. You can learn a few languages, French, Spanish, Italian and German. If you are not familiar with English, you can learn it! 
Apparently, daily practice will help you remember words and phrases, and I'm finding it works! I'm starting to remember some simple sentences off the top of my head in Spanish. I really hope I will be somewhat fluent after all the lessons. They ask you to do things like, translate this phrase into Spanish, translate it into English, say a phrase into your microphone. It tests your reading and oral skills.
Wow, now I can learn a language for free! I know that it is available on mobile devices but I am not sure about computers. I definitely recommend using this app if you would like to learn French, Italian, Spanish or German! 

Thanks for reading this post!
