    The D**l***o Episode

    In this episode of Michelle Learns Gaelic, I share some of my thoughts on Duolingo.  We all know there are pros and cons, but sometimes articulating them out loud can help us make a more active decision about whether the app is really suiting our needs and helping us achieve our goals. New Gàidhlig word for this episode: cailleach-oidhche (the common owl)....what kind of owl is Duo anyway??
