I am going to Costa Rica for a volunteer service thing and I want to learn as much as I can in 2 months. What would be my best course of action to learn as much as possible in a short time frame.

Hi, I'm an Italian student and I would like to learn a new language but I'm undecided between two languages: Portuguese and Japanese. What should I study first?

I am 26. Not a native but have C2 in English. I like to learn another language but don't know which between German and French. I am in favour of German so is it possible to do German courses for the next 3 years (10-12 hours study a week) going from A1 to B1/B2 and then continue to read and listen and speak to myself for 3hours a week but start French at A1 and for the next 3 years go to B1/B2 (10 hours French plus 3 hours german a week). I will probably never be as confident to speak as in English but I would like to understand what people speak around me and just see how they express themselves differently compared to my home country(I travel around Europe for work a couple of times an year usually to French/German speaking countries) ask questions and be able to read signs.

Hey, so my listening and reading skills are pretty good. I've been reading a lot lately, like 10 books in the past month, and I can understand 90% of what I read. I usually read a book while listening to the audiobook at the same time to improve both skills.

The problem is, I live in Brazil and don't have anyone to practice speaking English with. I also don't have the money to pay for a tutor. I thought about practicing by myself, like talking to myself in English and trying to think in English, but I'm worried I'll make a lot of mistakes and won't have anyone to correct me. It just doesn't feel like an effective way to practice without feedback.

Do you have any ideas for how I can improve my speaking skills?

P.S. My writing isn't too bad, but I still make a lot of mistakes. I thought about writing and asking people on here or other apps to check it, and maybe that could help my speaking too.

How fast to learn Polish

As a developer and language enthusiast, I always wanted to keep track of the new vocabulary I just learned. I never found a satisfying app that fills my needs so I decided to create one.

When you add a new word, the app automatically detects the language you’re typing. You also can add some exemple and notes.

Recently I released a new update with a review feature. Every day the app selects a word in your vocabulary and let you find it to help you memorize it.

I would love to get some feedback about the app to improve it and make it useful.

Thank you so much for your help !

Have a nice day !

Hello all, have any of you used the methods Paul Noble, Michel Thomas or Language transfer? Are they worth it? I have heard they are great to start having an idea of how the language works. Does someone knows which one of the 3 courses I mentioned is better? Thank you

Hello r/LearnANewLanguage,

I'm excited to share my new project with you, SongSens.ai, a platform that uses AI to translate and explain the meanings behind songs of pretty much all languages.

This project was inspired by my own experiences with learning languages through Chinese music, and the challenges of finding translations that truly aid in understanding both the language and the song's cultural context.

To kick off the beta launch, I'm offering credits worth 3 free song translations to anyone interested in exploring songs from around the globe. I hope my tool can assist you in your language learning journey.

Check it out at SongSens.ai and dive into your favorite foreign tunes from an all new perspective. I'm looking forward to hear your experience and feedback!

just reposting this from r/languagelearning in hopes for quicker response

I'm an Irish college student who's course is dying down and am finding myself with free time so I want to learn a language. I was thinking of Spanish or Chinese and I'm not sure which one i would rather have a go at first. I'm more interested in learning Chinese but am considering Spanish first as i heard it is easier for native English speakers. So I don't know whether to start with spanish to build up good language learning habits or throw myself into the deep end with chinese.
(Although spanish has a different grammer system, so does irish so there is a bit of experience learning other systems of grammer.) Any advice thanks

Got a top a couple months back and have no idea what it says as English is my first and only language, could someone be an absolute gem and help on this one?

just posted this on r/languagelearning reposting here to get a better chance at people seeing this! Okay so my school provided french as a subject but i chose the other subject cause I hated the french teacher, im starting to realize that was a bad idea 💀 the uni im aiming for requires french so any online courses you recommend (i have like 2-3 years to prepare) the only option I can't think about is duolingo :33 okay thank youuuuuu

What do you think about an app for having conversations in any language based on different situations?
For instance, you enter a bar and need to order a coffee, or you're at the airport and have to communicate with the check-in staff.
Personally, I'm searching for something similar—an app that facilitates "real" conversations in English to enhance both my language skills and confidence. Is there anything like this already available?
Additionally, it could be beneficial to have a marketplace for various conversation scripts to simulate different life scenarios.
Let me know your thoughts or if you're aware of something similar!

Hello kind people of reddit!
I am looking for help in learning/comprehending Hiligaynon better. I am bilingual in English and German

My partner is from Iloilo City and I am trying to learn to hopefully be conversational in it at least.

Any help or material to learn would be helpful!

This channel (not mine), is a great resource for language learners and language nerds, but also creatives.
I highly recommend checking it out, it has subtitles for anyone who would like them. The host also posts her transcripts on her website, so definitely visit if you have a chance. You can find all the links in the description under her videos.
For resources like this, if you want to give them some sticking power to help them grow, it helps to subscribe. It helps a lot when people subscribe.

I'll be honest this post is a little self serving. I want this resource to stick around, and the more subs she gets, the more videos she'll make (I hope).
So please subscribe.

Hi all! I am an international relations student in Turkey. As I am in my first year and have some spare time, I want to learn a foreign language that can be useful when applying jobs. Considering the geography I am in, I was thinking Russian or Arabic can be beneficial but these are the kind of languages that are hard to learn as a second foreign language. I am not afraid but I can't take language lessons at the moment so thought Spanish or French might be easier to learn online.

So which one should I start learning or which one would you start if you were me? I am open to any suggestions.

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone had insight on this kinda situation.

I would like to learn two languages that I have familiarity with (currently Canadian speaking english)

French - took French classes in school from grades 4-10, other than basic hellos and goodbyes, can't speak or understand at all. If I spend time I can get basics of reading, but I'm basically starting from scratch. Key thing for this is I don't want to start from the very start, because on a lot of platforms, I would be considered "intermediate" (ie. duolingo)

Turkish - I am Turkish born, I can understand fluently, speak semi fluent (Canadian accent, and need to think before speaking), can't write, can ready slowly (moved when I was 7 so still at elementary level reading). Of course I'll be practicing with family, but where can I learn things like grammar, and more advanced language rules that I most likely would learn naturally if I continued with my education in turkey.

Thanks in advance!

I’m on day 3 of Duolingo talking about the word for boy and girl from 10,000 different angles and game gimmicks, and Pretty much nothing else. I get the science of reputation but holy shit, will it ever move on from the words for boy and girl? Or not for another few days? At this pace it will take 11 years to learn a language. I know Duolingo is most popular, what am I missing?

Hello Everyone,

I am new to YouTube and I am working on creating Arabic and English cartoon episodes to teach kids Arabic and the equivalent term in English, I haven’t seen many bilingual languages channels for kids, I am a beginner to this and would appreciate your support….
