chisag Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 ... I have been learning Spanish with Duolingo and felt like I had a very rudimentary understanding de Espanol so I decided to test myself and watch the Warriors and Celtics on a Spanish station. It didn't take me long to understand what I was attempting was like graduating from Drivers Training and then with no qualifying runs entering the Indy 500 at the pole position. Back to the English broadcast because about the only word I recognized at that blazing announcer speed was "Steph Curry". GrumpyGolf 1 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

My wife has been learning Spanish via Duolingo for over 500 days now, I know this because she just showed that to me. She wants to be able to speak and understand when she has Spanish children/families in her classes. She is really good on the app, but when she listens to the Spanish podcasts they recommend for immersion, she gets lost after Hola! chisag 1 Quote Driver: Ping G410 10.5 degree ALTA CB 55 RED STIFF Fairway: Cobra FLYXL 3 & 5 Hybrid: Cobra FLYXL 4 & 5 Irons: Cobra FLYXL 6 - P w/ Mitsubishi Rayon KURO KAGE Black Parallel Graphite Iron Shaft STIFF Wedges: Edel SMS 50, 54, 58 degree with KBS STIFF 2g/8g/10g Weight Setup Putter: Odyssey Stroke Lab 7 Putter w/ Graphite & Steel Shaft and Pistol Grip Ball: Bridgestone Tour B X GPS: Shot Scope V3 w/ Trackers "You don't HAVE to go play golf, you GET to go play golf." - Harvey Penick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanoito Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Spanish native speaker here... The problem you guys are having is the diversity of accents and vocabulary each Spanish speaking country has. Not sure where Duolingo takes its material from, but Spanish from Spain, México, Colombia, etc. will sound very different. You mentioned Dubs Celtics... in English you only have the word "ball". In Spanish you could call it bola, balón, pelota, etc. So I'm not surprised. Probably similar to a person learning American English and taking a trip to Scotland. Good luck with that lol chisag 1 Quote SpeedZone 9* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 60 S X2 Hot 3 Deep 14.5* w/ Aldila Tour Green 75 S JetSpeed 5W 19* w/ Matrix Velox T 69 S OR Super LS 3H 19* w/ Kuro Kage Black 80 S JPX919 Forged 4-PW w/ Modus3 105 S Vokey SM7 50/08F, 54/14F & 58/08M w/ Modus3 115 Wedge ER1 34" w/ SuperStroke Fatso 2.0 Pro / H2NO Lite Cart Bag / 3.0 / NX7 Pro LRF My reviews: MLA Putter // Titleist SM7 // PING i500 // PuttOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
