Ore is a more casual male "I." Watashi would only be used by men in really formal situations; boku is less formal but has a different feel to it. Ore is more of a cool, casual, friendly term for yourself where as boku is still fairly casual but a little more focused towards people you don't know as well. Boku certainly isn't incorrect and it doesn't even sound odd, it's just the tone of voice ore gives is more aligned with how most people act on this forum IMO.

I can understand second person levels of formality but making you choose formality for first person pronouns seems crazy.

Sadly, the Dutch courses for Duolingo are expected to be completed by Jun 2015. :( Too bad, so sad.

Haha, nu moet je nog Google Vertalen gebruiken als je Nederlands wil praten, of als je deze post wil lezen!

Dutch looks so similar to German except not really.

Comemierda is a cuban insult that seems very very stupid in Argentina spanish. "Tragachele" is a much better insult. Traga-Chele = Cum swallower. Chele is a vulgar way to define cum. Chele comes from Leche which is milk.

How about manflor?

Română este o limbă foarte dificilă. Bunica mea ma învățat să vorbească românește, dar este greu de a scrie.

that's probably really broken but oh well
also învățat means to teach or learn i don't know any synonyms for that word to fit better forget

I have wanted to learn Danish for awhile, does anyone know any free things online where I could learn this language?

Caribou, you're a smart person, but Danish is the hardest language to learn (literally). I wouldn't recommend trying it, unless you speak German and are used to the feel of it.

Of course you don't silly!
And also, it's stylized as Duolingo.
