Aber warum?

The past few weeks I've been doing the German course on Duolingo on Friday mornings. So far it's been pretty good but as I'm progressing further through it, it seems to be getting increasingly bizarre. This morning was all about animals and food, and it was coming up with sentences I don't think I've ever said in English, never mind in German

I'm doing the same course! You must be a bit further ahead than I am; the section I was on yesterday was about animals but none of the senteces I had were as unique as yours!

Oooh! These sentences were all from the strengthening part, they were a bit weirder than what was in the normal teaching section. I'm not that much further ahead, just got up to Level 6 and about to start on questions and saying no. Exciting! Have you been doing it long?

I started working on Duolingo a couple weeks ago. Gives me something to do at work when I have down time, which is a lot lately.

It's good that you can do it at work, although not so good that it's quiet enough for you to need something else to do! Is it something that might come in handy for work?

Nah, I've always wanted to learn a second language and was never really into Spanish or French as a second language.

I did French for a couple of years - it was mandatory at my school until the third year - and I dropped it as soon as I could because I just did not get on with it. I did a year of Spanish at university and didn't mind that so much. I much prefer German though ;)
