FRENCH/GERMAN ONLINE COMPETITION: due to a very high demand the ‘club’ is now oversubscribed! Well done you! It does not mean you can’t take part though. Just still follow the instructions below and complete the DUOLINGO activities on your own or why not create your own club to compete against each other. In April, I will ask anyone over a certain secret number to come and see me with their app and I will reveal who our top scorers and therefor prize winners are.
Download the DUOLINGO app (or access the site from a desktop), complete your profile (takes 20 seconds), choose French or German. This is open to all years and staff. To create your own club, select ‘club’ and tell your friends the code you will be given.
