• Minor in Spanish

  You will be golden if you pair Spanish 2200 with this. Source: 11 months ago

• Things to do while riding; Learning languages via voice control?

  The best podcast for learning Spanish is called Language Transfer: Spanish. Can be found on YouTube or SoundCloud. Can be downloaded as mp3s from languagetransfer.org and uploaded to your phone. This will take you from not knowing anything to being functionally conversational very quickly. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to improve?

  This is the crux of languagetransfer.org I believe, the podcasts focus on cognates, or words that are similar in spanish>english. In addition to LT, I also use dreamingspanish.com and duolingo. My next step is to put aside my fear, and begin my online tutoring with italki.com, which I've already funded, but not yet started... Source: almost 2 years ago

• I Learned French in 12 Months

  One resource you may not be aware of is https://languagetransfer.org. It is easily the best language acquisition system I've ever used (I did the Spanish course). I've previously learned French, German, Sesotho and Japanese using a variety of techniques, and I wish Language Transfer had been around then! The courses are entirely audio (using a convenient app or downloadable MP3 files) and it all runs on donations. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Learning Spanish at 64 almost 65

  I second languagetransfer.org and duolingo. It's really fun and can seem like a game. It's super simple, anyone can use it and it's great. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is this wrong? If so, why?

  Russian word order is very flexible but not random; it's influenced by tone/register (formal? informal? Emotionally colored somehow?) and context (what's already been talked about, vs. new information). Unfortunately, there's no way that Duolingo's isolated sentences, with no hint of context or tone, can account for this. If you continue with Duolingo (I'd suggest you look at mangolanguages.com , which is free... Source: 10 months ago

• language learning apps

  Mango Languages might be good for them. Check with your library to see if you can get free access because it's free through many libraries. There's an app for it too. There's also Destinos for Spanish and NHK has a Japanese course. For ASL, there's ASL University. EdX and Alison have courses too, but they may be for an older audience. All of the ones I mentioned are free. Source: 12 months ago

• I feel like doulingo is lying to me

  In general, be ready for Russian to express things differently from English. Similarly, Как вас зовут? = What's your name? But как is not 'what,' вас is not 'your,' and зовут is not 'name' – the Russian is literally 'how you they call.' Whether Duolingo will explain those things is another matter... Mango languages does a better job of that IMO. Source: 12 months ago

• "Could you repeat that?"

  Mango Languages have this feature where you can align your own recording with that of a native. So no more a computer that judges you, you do it yourself. Just align the sounds and see if they sound the same when played at the same time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Advice on Homeschooling my Little Brother

  The school not having an ESL program for your cousin is a bit concerning but, there are ways to help him learn. You should check with the local library to see which resources they have available. My library gives access to Mango Languages and Transparent Language, which are pretty good for learning the basics of a new language quickly. I also found some websites here and here that may be helpful for him, and this... Source: about 1 year ago
