Posted by I have been trying to be a genius and so far learning the Romance languages. Duolingo is a big help. I think speaking the language of a certain country is such a nice gesture to its people. So far, I made a table of equivalent meaning of some of the words on other languages.

Learning the base form is one thing. Conjugating them by learning all the moods and tenses is a different story.
My language has 21 tenses but, at least, the nice thing is that you can get by using just the infinitive. It sounds bad but at least locals understand you
I agree.. What is your language by the way?
Italian
Nice, I have always wanted to level up to Italian but still stucked on learning Portuguese and French through Duolingo. I love the Bella Ciao song in the Netflix hit Money Heist! ❤️
Useful list. Thanks.
Thank you so much leggypeggy!
My daughter, Julie, is able to speak fluently in the four major Romance Languages. She learned on her own mainly by reading and conjugating the verbs and then going to areas where they spoke the language. She used all the language selling software!
She seems an intelligent person! You are blessed! 🙂
