Finnish
Duolingo's Finnish course is still pre-beta. It's slated for completion in April 2020 (Duolingo Incubator, 2019.08.06).
- I'm hoping to become a beta-tester and have a go using Duolingo to study a language that I haven't learned already.
French
To review French, an additional language that I began to study in high school several decades ago, I adopted Duolingo 2016.03.24.
Japanese
To practice Japanese, another language that I've studied both formally and informally for decades, I added Japanese for English speakers to my Duolingo repertoire (n.d.).
