• 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

• Getting Pimsleur

  I'm in the USA, but when I go to pimsleur.com and click on German, there's a big box titled Premium and has a price of $19.95/month. There's also an All Access box (get all languages) for $20.95/month. Source: about 1 year ago

• If you took and passed a foreign language class in high school/college, how did you do it?

  Before you take any formal language course, go through level 1 of Pimsleur. It’s around 15 hours of audio and should take you about a month to complete, but it really made all the difference for me. Pimsleur is all audio-based (so no accessibility issues to worry about – you can ignore the printed materials) and it really helps jump start your developing good pronunciation and comprehension.

• I was just testing mic input settings in VRchat and now I'm wondering how many of yall will go through a whole Japanese course if it's hosted by Beastars characters.

  Oh and if anyone's wondering; pimsleur.com has these lessons for $20 a month or so. Source: over 2 years ago

• I’m having a lot of trouble learning Tagalog, do y’all have any tips

  Https://pimsleur.com/ - this, combined with some time around native speakers to correct some of the textbookisms from the course, will get you speaking basic Tagalog comfortably in about two months. You will be able to communicate basic thoughts and it's a great jumping-off point to begin expanding your vocabulary, since you'll have the mental framework to construct correct sentences using new words.
