Duolingo/Spanish

Hello it's me, I'm back from being annoyingly sick If you want to know where I was for two weeks ago go back to my last post. Today I will be talking about my experience with Duolingo not how much Xp I have which is 600 if you were wondering and I'm up to time. I have learnt stuff like:


Nosotros beben agua - We drink water
Es oso - the bear
Beben agua - drink water


What I enjoy about Duolingo is that its an easy way to learn how to speak Spanish it makes you revise what you have learnt. Some cool things about it is that you can buy more stuff from the shop with lingots. The first thing I went for was the formal attire now I'm saving for the second outfit which is made of gold.


I haven't found much difficult but the fact that you have to keep going over what you have learnt is good but really annoying. That's basically all I've found difficult except for the fact that on devices where you use the app you will be a lower level and for some reason less fluent at Spanish.


I really do feel that it has helped me learn Spanish because I now know stuff further ahead than the class. It is way better than the videos and writing down of the words and stuff it might help me a bit but not as much as Duolingo.


Tips for other people well do it every day I am on an eleven day streak (On day of post). Focus on getting to a really high amount of Xp in one day then the day after go threw and strengthen the lesson. Use a mobile device it is way better than the computer version.
 
Bye see you in my next post and I'm feeling way better.

Why I was Away for a Week

Hi so it all basically started two weeks ago when I just had a little sore throat that escalated quite slowly. From a little tickle that was annoying to not being able to drink much water without being in pain.


So we went to the afterhours to get it checked by a doctor (mainly because on Sunday my throat was insanely painful).  First we were checked over by a nurse just for the basics and to have it all written down (After waiting for quite a while). Then we were sent back to the waiting room (for not as long) the doctor called out my name we went into his office and he did a check up asked some questions. Then after a long boring talk about  how much does it hurt is it annoying (Like yes of course it is why do you think its called a sore throat). He told me I had a really bad case of tonsillitis so I had to take these pills which were called amoxicillin (Remember this name it comes into use later).
So I start taking the pills its good for the whole entire week, during the time I wasn't feeling dead I got to eat ice cream and gelato and watch YouTube the whole entire time. So it really just wasn't good for me that week, so that's why I wasn't at school for a whole week. I almost forgot to say that I also had strep throat which is the reason I got tonsillitis.


Then on Saturday I woke up all good and happy then later in the day I look down at my arms and legs and see I have spots they were kind of itchy but not much. So we went to the doctors again and they told me I was allergic to the amoxicillin they were giving me (yay even more drugs yay:( and they said I had to take even more of them but instead of the three times a day it was then two times a day with food).


It was okay for awhile I was taking less big pills but started taking an anti histamine which was stopping the redness and not much the itchiness. So I wake up the next morning and for like two seconds my breathing was hard and wheezy. So my mum gets up and says where going to the doctors but in the time it takes her to get ready. I've already cleared my air ways and are good so we stay at home for a while and then we go back.\


We didn't have to wait so long because we had been there two times already. So here is a funny story so we walk into the room to get checked over by the nurse all the nurse does is look at my face. While she's saying there is nothing wrong with me I tell her to look down (Her reaction was so funny) all she could say was "OH MY GOSH".


So then we go to the doctor and they tell be to stop all antibiotics and just wait for the rash which was my allergic reaction to the amoxicillin. So that's basically what happened to me and why I wasn't there last week.





This is what it was like






This is a treat for those of you who got this far.
