Oooh first! The Easy German channel on KZbin is fun and you get to learn about German culture at the same time!

I love easy German! And all their other “easy” channels

Re. 101 Languages: When I didn't realise there were better resources around, I used to download some of the audio based exercises & listen to them on walks, helpful for languages that have less resources, but yeah generally pretty boring content, though I remember Cantonese 101 having some interesting stuff in the advanced/Bonus section. Sometimes I pay for Premium Plus when its heavily discounted to access the tutor for corrections for writing or send audios for pronunciation practice. Their (free!) dictionary has quality audio, so I often clip audio from it to add to my flashcards for pronunciation practice- v helpful for my Cantonese as it's harder to find high quality audio with dictionaries for Canto. Trying to work through the pathways etc. was also a hard pass for me lol

Those seem like good ways to use it! It definitely seems like they originally started as this "on the go" resource which, while still potentially boring, makes more sense with the way the lessons are structured. Sitting down to do them was out of the question for me lol.

lol @ the emotional support tabs 😂 at one point i maxed out at 500 (but didnt realize that was the max) so all of my older tabs ended up being defaulted and reused and i was SO distraught when i realized lmfaoooo (i literally was trying to keep tabs open from yearsss ago idky) now i do my best to keep them under 100 sksks

[@joreneelanguages]

noo lol i'm sure that has happened before to me and i didn't even realize because i didn't remember what i had open 😆 under 100 seems perf reasonable

Do you have any idea what platform I could get heartbreaker from in Spanish? Thanks for all your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@joreneelanguages]

I read them on the Kobo app, they should also be on Kindle, & a lot of people's library had them in Spanish (mine did in paper copies but not digital and paper doesn't do me any good internationally lol) thanks!!

[@susanc1179]

I found it on Kindle. It didn’t come up first time I looked but then I searched by the author’s name and Spanish.
