    My family does a thing on holidays where we pick one song to play at the start of every day, that becomes the memory of the holiday so whenever we hear it we are instantly transported back. Works for long car trips also (put it on after rest...

    Ekelund reacted to HBS60's post in the thread Listening to music while on the camino with Like Like.
    I haven’t done my camino yet (planned for this August), although I’ve been doing daily walks for years. For a while, I was listening to podcasts as a way of distracting myself from stress. I was into current events, but it got depressing so i...

    I don't listen to music much at all unless I am going to a dance or something. Never listened to it on any Camino. Edit: I do like to blast a few dance tunes from my youth in the 80's when cleaning house though.

    Hi Robo, a quick disclaimer first - af all the apps mentioned, I am only familiar with Duolingo, so I can not compare it to the others. Yes, Duolingo has it's shortcomings, and might not be the "best" for learning Spanish, or any other language...

    Ekelund reacted to Wendy Werneth's post in the thread Duo Lingo or Something Else? with Like Like.
    Unsurprisingly, I second what @jungleboy said about the importance of comprehensible input. The next question is, where to get that input? Since I have been able to understand native-level material in Spanish for many years now, I don't have...

    Ekelund reacted to jungleboy's post in the thread Duo Lingo or Something Else? with Like Like.
    The real question to ask re: DuoLingo is not whether the version of Spanish is appropriate (as others have said, European Spanish would obviously be better but it’s not a major issue), but whether DuoLingo actually works. Or in response to the...
