That is ridiculous. Karen Armstrong wrote several well-regarded books on Islam, and she was a bloody nun!

I'd love some Dothraki. :)

I love reddit, but I really hate that genuine questions like this fall lower than comments about internet porn.

I've used Rosetta Stone (got it free through the military), but I really like Duolingo much better. I'm currently using it to refresh my Italian skills I haven't used in a very long time.

I have two questions:

1) Can you add an option to use it silently, ie not having to listen and translate? It would be much easier to sneak a session or two in at work, or use it while the kids are watching tv.

2) Some of the lessons should have "cheat sheets", like "Prepositions". That's difficult to learn via osmosis, or just guessing at the translations; and for visual learners it's really hard to get them straight without seeing all the options. (I've relied on language books I have at home, and it's been really helpful)

Edit to add: Damn it, I forgot to say thanks! Thanks!
