• 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.

• How many of you still learn how to handwrite? I stopped after 2,500 characters...

  I've found the most success with learning words in some sort of flashcard format based on frequency lists (meaning learning the most frequently used words first), and then solidifying that learning by reading Chinese text in graded readers. For the flashcard format I use hackchinese.com , for the graded reading I use DuChinese app. Source: 10 months ago

• Anki Decks/Youtube Channels/Other Resources for learning more every day vocabulary at a B1-B2 level? (related to locations and actions)

  Hackchinese.com has lots of vocabulary lists, like "baking a cake" (14 words), "bicycles" (53 words), "bus" (29 words).... There is a free trial so you can see if you like it, but I don't remember how long it is. Source: about 2 years ago

• What's your strategy for reading Chinese?

  I was in the same place a few months ago. The thing that's helped me a lot is reading online, so that it's easy to look words up. I also use an SRS (hackchinese.com, but I know a lot of people use Pleco or anki) to keep track of any word that seems useful or interesting or common. Source: over 2 years ago

• Selling my hackchinese.com account for cheaper

  I want to sell what is remaining of my subscription on hackchinese.com for less than it costs since I am not using it anymore. The subscription ends in July 2022. Source: over 2 years ago
