[@janesoren4079]

it's such a relief to see people who i'm looking up to in terms of learning languages spend not much time studying when feeling unwell or just not feeling like it! it reminded me how language learning isn't a competition and everyone has a different pace and may slow down from time to time. i had quite an unpleasant depressive episode last month and i failed to commit enough time to my target languages as i had planned. i felt frustrated about it. so i'm glad to know that it's okay if there are such epidoses. you're sooo inspiring! i absolutely adore your channel! may your second quarter be a success ❤️

Hi! Just so you know, your health is the most important and top priority. So be sure to take care of yourself and you'll be able to achieve everything you put your mind into. Remember to take breaks, be patient and work at your own pace. I wish you luck and the best in your language learning journey!

Such an important point to make that we have “off weeks” due to human things (being sick, busy with work, not feelin it, etc.) and to not pressure ourselves to always have set times and expectations. Consistency isn’t something we have to promise ourselves, just as long as we can feel satisfied with even the smallest progress. Awesome points as always, thank you!

I'm not too into learning languages (only trying to brush up on German and occasionally learning some Spanish on Duolingo), but one thing I'd recommend is to read a book you really like and have read before in your target language! I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for like the 4th time, but in German instead of English.

For Time Tracking I love ATracker, you can breakup by app/resource and then be able to tag if it's say speaking or writing, kanji, reading etc. This is available on Apple store. It also does reports to show you how much by app/resource and also by the tag. I think it looks better than Toggle (though I haven't used Toggle) ATracker is very nice and easy to use. I track all my time and at the end of the week I just print a report simple. Cheers Not affiliated in anyway.

I had great experience with Swedish Duolingo. You definitely can't use it alone, but it was great for teaching me basic grammar and extensive vocab through context and repetition. I won't be using it for Japanese (tried that course years ago and hated it), but will do it again in a heartbeat for Spanish and some harder to find languages.

I'm often on the fence about Duolingo. I can't tell if I like or hate it.

[@sophie427]

@@jasminedubois6711 Oh I so understand this! I think I’ve made my peace with it by understanding what it is actually used for, and how I find it most useful: learning new alphabets and reviewing vocabulary. You can’t fully learn a language there, but it can help supplement your studies.

[@tanyabc]

@@jasminedubois6711 Yeah, I think it's a good supplement app. I spend about 70% of my Spanish studies reading with the help of LingQ and the rest speeding through Duo. I'm finding that Duo is really good at cementing grammar structures and conjugations in my head since it over does it on the repetition. I definitely could not use the free version though. Each lesson group is like 100 questions pounding the same vocab and grammar. It's way too much IMO, especially for English>Spanish where there are so many cognates. The context of all vocab is also so all over the place that I definitely don't remember it as well as I remember vocab from reading authentic content. The "Free" version of the app cost me a lot of time in the beginning.

(reading, listening to a podcast, watching something), thank you in advance!

Lindie! Do you mind doing a video sharing how you structure your italki sessions? I have trouble figuring out how to direct the class such that we learn things that I can’t on my own (I’m want to make sure I’m spending my money efficiently haha)!

[@sophie427]

this is such a great question!! i have a friend that’s willing to teach me, but neither of us have an idea on where to start supplementing my independent study. i’d be curious to what lindie has to say!

Sure thing! I'll think about a video like that. For now, I have a blog post about how to make the most out of italki lessons that might be helpful: lindiebotes.com/2020/06/19/italki-review-free-credits/ I usually book structured lessons and then the structuring is up to the tutor to decide what we learn, and I'm open about my feedback to them on what works and what doesn't. If you're talking about conversation classes, that's a little different.

I just discovered your channel, so cool! I am picking up tips and tricks and mulling them over to see what i would like to try. I saw the video for language stacking which fascinated me because i heard Spanish was so similar to english that there are words if you just change the ending it means the same in english or Spanish and the pronunciation is very slightly different. So cool. That helps build a great framework which can be built on and as such now i am looking for framework building hacks for different languages i am interested in and that lead me to find the language stacking video you made. So cool! Thank you. PS: on an aside i hope this isn’t offensive 🤭 but as a native english speaker i noticed you keep not pronouncing the first r in quarter,…. You sound like quahter or even sometimes Kahter it took me a few times hearing it before I realized what you meant, it should be more qu(art)-er if you see the word art in the middle you wouldn’t drop the r. So 2 syllables quart-er. It also sounds like saying the word wort. So q(wort)-er. Now to be savage in a native canadian accent we almost make the T sound half way to a D sound part of the time. Isn’t there a korean consonant that sounds part way between a D and T sound? If so, use that your native Canadian then 🤣🤣 Please don’t be offended i checked the comments, didn’t see this pointed out and figured a cheerful language nerd might like to have that pointed out for future use. Saying this i also realize maybe you learned a different english speaking accent than me maybe? I am Canadian so its entirely possible your English teacher was from somewhere else that does pronounce it like that or english was their 5th language and they had an accent while teaching, i truly don’t know, but much respect. For me i am still stuck in monolingual land, so i am not preaching in any way, Have a good day and thank you again. 🙂

[@dragonwhispers24]

As someone who is fluent in Spanish, I'm not sure if you should be using the Busuu app for it. My Spanish fluency is at the same level as my English fluency to the point that I can read and interpret Old Spanish poems and literary works (similar to literary works like Beowulf, Chaucer and Shakespeare in English). I tried to take the Spanish proficiency test in the Busuu app and at first it said I was a beginner because I didn't answer certain questions the way it wanted me to. I kept on taking the test and as it got into much more challenging aspects of the language that I kept getting right, it kept promoting me higher and higher. I found that a lot of the questions were confusing in the sense that it overcomplicates the meanings and intentions of some words to the extent that if you don't answer in the exact way it wants, that means you got the question wrong when there could be multiple ways of expressing the same concept when you're writing in Spanish. As a practicing Spanish-speaker, it is common to remove or exclude certain words especially in conversation because the verbs are so powerful in Spanish that you almost don't need anything else to express your meaning. Spanish is also a little bit tricky in the sense that it's spoken in so many different countries that one word can mean one thing in one place and a totally different thing somewhere else. To this effect, I think this app also doesn't use a generic enough standard of Spanish that anyone can use. I haven't looked into any other apps for Spanish since I don't study Spanish (or English) anymore. However, I would like to do more advanced reading in Spanish, which you've motivated me to do so! If you're ever looking for someone to practice Spanish with, I have a lot of understanding of cultural nuances as well as tips for better pronunciation. In fact, since you're so good at Korean, I think you'll do great in Spanish too. You can find a lot of the same grammatical and pronunciation concepts in both Spanish and Korean. Happy learning!

[@Logoslover]

Do you have any resource you recommend?

[@dragonwhispers24]

@@Logoslover Since I'm not actively learning Spanish anymore because I'm already fluent, I haven't really looked at many resources for beginners. However, I find LingoDeer to be useful when studying Korean. I enjoy Memrise as well, and I believe they have Spanish as an option. I use Quizlet for flashcards as well. I'm of the mindset that you need both digital and physical learning resources for languages so I highly recommend a Spanish textbook such as En Español, Level 1 by Estella Gahala. Also, this may seem silly but going to the library and finding picture books for children with basic words and sentence structures is another idea. I did this with Korean at one point and it was an interesting experience. Understanding the various accents in Spanish would also be helpful as nearly no Spanish-speaking nation has the same accent. Try to find podcasts or youtube videos of native Spanish speakers from different countries. Hope this helps!
