Fraai is not a word used here (Flanders). Feels more Dutch.

Thanks. Just trying things out from the dictionary. What is the colloquial way just to say someone is “nice”? Another dictionary attempt givesdat is erg aardig van u.

As in “being nice”? “aardig” would be the right word (in NL-Dutch), yeah.

(English to) Spanish course has just updated again. Looks like quite a large amount of new content (two new checkpoints and more), which I'm very happy about.

I now have seven checkpoints in total, with the fourth and fifth being all new it seems as I have level zero across all topics in both of those despite having previously completed the tree. Loads of new stuff to tackle. ¡Que emocianante!
― brain (krakow), Thursday, 28 March 2019 13:22 (five years ago) link
I only have five so maybe you do have a newer course.
― Theorbo Goes Wild (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 28 March 2019 13:25 (five years ago) link
Es decir... ¡Qué emocionante!
Disculpe mi ortografía horrible en español, estoy muy cansado hoy... como siempre.
― brain (krakow), Thursday, 28 March 2019 13:33 (five years ago) link
There's a "New course update!" banner at the top of my tree highlighting the change too. I don't use the app much lately as my phone is rubbish, so this is on the web version.

Is er een traditioneel Nederlands restaurant in de buurt?
― Theorbo Goes Wild (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 30 March 2019 12:48 (five years ago) link
Hopelijk want Nederlandse gerechten zijn slecht. Ik hou meer van de Vlaamse keuken. Stoverij! Stoemp! Frieten! Gentse waterzooi.

Hopelijk NIET

Sure, it’s “correct”, just not casual in any way, shape or form. People will probably applaud you in admiration if you’d utter it!(het is “die zin” trouwens)

A little on the new content added to the Spanish, French and English (for Spanish & Portuguese speakers) courses and how they align with CEFR levels, which is somewhat interesting though not very in depth: https://making.duolingo.com/how-are-duolingo-courses-evolving
Apparently these particular courses now cover to A2 level with the additional content. It says they aim to expand other languages to the same A2 level and to push the Spanish, French and English toward B1.

Please listen to Gorki. https://open.spotify.com/track/1AvAl5fj5mhoLHVo0to1xr?si=0h2Thu1fRJmBDcf-ivTEBgOne of the haunting songs in Belgian pop. The singer drank himself to death after his divorce.
