About 3 weeks ago, I signed up to Duolingo intending to learn Swahili every day for about a month. Why? To learn something new, to make some progress with a language I’ve been casually interested in for some time, and to document to process from a UX perspective.

What went wrong? Not to be dramatic, but work, sickness, war and calamity. I have simply not been in the mood to learn Swahili, and that is fine. That’s how it is.
