Guten Abend Herr Thierig, we just came to see if you are okay.

You are not allowed to visit an employee’s residence without invitation, so what you did made us very concerned about your mental wellbeing.

I second Language Transfer.

I tried to study Arabic with duolingo for about two years, but I never got very far since nothing is properly explained.

With those together I got much farther in a month than I ever got with duolingo.

Nothing beats a class where you can discuss with the students and ask questions to the teacher.

But if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, language transfer and recorded lessons on YouTube are so much better than duolingo
