    It looks like I've finally come to the end of my Spanish course and am just getting daily practice sessions. I've also been given 3 days free access to Duolingo Max so am practicing my Spanish conversations which is interesting. 

    Brilliantly well done! I feel as if I must have several years of French still to go... the daily practice is a good idea. Perhaps you could find some Spanish reading to widen your skills, or are you going to start another course?
