* I keep wanting to do a language in addition to the Spanish that I'm duolingoing, but a) I can't decide between Yiddish and Korean and Japanese and Russian and ASL, b) three of those involve new alphabets, c) the last one I can't practice "speaking" and so it'd be harder to learn and also it's not practical for communicating, and d) even with Spanish, which is quite similar to English, I'm having issues remembering things these days

* I am half tempted to get a (cheap-ish) bugle, because it doesn't involve fingering and therefore I can either duct tape it to a stick and hold it myself, or have someone hold it for me, and teach myself to play based on YouTube videos, but that is like an incredibly silly temptation to have??? Especially since beginning brass sounds horrible and loud. And the "duct tape to stick" thing probably wouldn't work because it needs to vibrate or something.

(But it would probably be epic for maintaining lung function, lol)

i haven't done a lot of duo's russian lessons - so i haven't hit any of the 'spell the word' ones yet. but if they don't have the non-roman characters available to click on-screen - like for accented characters in the romance languages - that would be frustrating to manage.
