    Has anyone used DuoLingo to learn Spanish?

    I've used Duolingo for German, in conjunction with a 10 week course of evening classes, and have found it really helpful.

    Unified Camino Signage in Galicia

    It's a nice idea but surely there are more important things to spend the money on?

    Madrid Airport Scam

    You're probably not wrong.

    If members of AA are friends of Bill, what should us Camino addicts be called?

    How about friends of James? That's who you're all going to see.

    About letting go - post Camino

    It's probably about time to lock this thread. Ivar has already stated that there should be nothing to compel users of this forum to give their full details, and we seem to have drifted quite far from the original topic.

    Can someone translate, please?

    Forgive my ignorance just in case any of the above posters are native Spanish speakers, but I thought it would be "Te importa si te sacque una foto?" I was taught that the correct verb to use was Sacar fotos, not hacer or tomar.

    Thankyou and goodbye

    I'm the first to argue that people need to make their own mistakes and learn as they go along - I had to on my first Camino and that's why I why I carried a tent the entire way and never used it once. But that was before I knew about this forum. I don't think it's fair to dismiss someone's...

    What is a Compostela? What is it not?

    When I read statements like this I'm always reminded of the dedication at the front of the guide book that I used on my first Camino that said something along the lines of "Dedicated to all those who begin a walk and end a pilgrimage". I would check the exact wording but the poor book didn't...

    Magnum Ice Cream

    Am I the only person who doesn't like Kas Limon? It's too astringent for me - it feels like it's stripping the enamel from my teeth.

    Has the Camino helped your career?

    Need help fundraising camino

    The Camino has been there for hundreds of years. It'll still be there when you've saved up enough. I can understand your impatience to start (I'd go tomorrow if I had the time and money) but just remember it'll just be all the more special for you when you do make it.
