• 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.

• 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.

• 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
