I woud to learn the Korean language, Does anyone know a good way to learn it?

Now I'm using Duolingo and I'm studying Korean grammar with a file that I found on Internet where there are some grammar rules.

Thanks if someone answers me 🫰

Hi I live in South Africa and am trying to learn Zulu.

I'm using Duolingo and it's really fun! Just wondering if any of you have had success with the app, and if I should maybe use other resources as well?

Thanks!

As many of you might be struggling with Language learning, I am also trying my best to conquer this Kraken called "Deutsch".

I hope my review helps.

From April 2023 0 -> B2 Dec 2024 while working a full time job and having a life

My partner is native and his family speaks only German, so I am in for a treat every coffee and dinner, so you understand my motivation is intertwined with desperation, I am also looking for a job here in Germany after immigrating from my Eastern European home and quitting my job and confort zone in the name of love.

My journey with Lingoda started in April 2023, I started with a Sprint, my advice: it's only worth it if you have the the certainty you can attend every f day.

Lingoda, itself, it's a great platform with very good teachers, serious classmates and thorough rules that kind of "motivate" you to stay disciplined.

What I wished I knew as a beginner in Apr 2024:

Orientation class is a waste of your credit because it basically just presents the platform, DM me and I will send you a summary of what happens there and save your actual learning credit.
If you like a teacher, you can go to the that teachers board and book their classes, I swear having a class with a teacher I liked made the biggest difference.(My German recommendations: Agnieska, Ozlem, Julia, Branislav, etc).
*hint: book from ahead of time and aim to have classes as early in the morning as possible since that s when you have the chances of being just you and the teacher or just 2 people and the teacher = more speaking time, basically a 1o1 class on sale.

3. Prepare for every class with the vocabulary and do the homework or exercises proposed as homework in the previous class.

4. Try to stay as chronological as possible with the classes because the level between Chapter 1-2-3 vs 11-12 is very different and it just smooths your learning curve.

5. You only need to do 45 classes/50 to get the certificate, my advice is to skip first orientation and some of the starting communication classes( even if you skip them you can book the class, download the material and cancel immediately using the 30 min after book free cancellation policy). NEVER skip in GRAMMAR classes because in my opinion are the most important.

As a comparison to Babbel Live, Lingoda offers more, the certificate is recognized and Lingoda has for B1 135 classes offer, while Babbel has only 36, focusing mainly on speaking.

If you are thinking about trying out Lingoda here is my referral link: https://referral.lingoda.com/6Dr9Cv

I dig monthly for discounts because I am a cheap as that can't pay full price so I got most of the months 20-30% discounts on plans for 20-40 classes so the price/class stayed in 7-8 eur range which is cheaper than a class in my home country.

No hidden truth: you get paid for recommending Lingoda, but what I would offer you is a free 30 mins presentation from my account of their possibilities and my honest B1.2 from 0 feedback after many errors I wish I knew better.

American learning Spanish here, looking for some literature I can use to immerse myself into the language more to help me learn. Gonna read probably a half hour a day. I’m into novels, fiction, non-fiction, anything really. Would appreciate any recommendations. South American Spanish preferred.

I can fluently speak German but usually I can't get what Germans saying What shall I do to develop my listing skills?

so basically i LOVE learning languages, as an italian i have an advantage in other beatiful romance languages like spanish,french.... but i also LOVEE asian languages (since im half south asian) like Sinhala (my country <3) Japanese,Hindi,South korean....

But i dont know between all these languages i like, if i should learn the most useful ones or the ones i like the most?

for example, spanish french and german are gonna be WAYY more useful than japanese to me since i live in europe and want to stay here, but i like japanese better! not only that, i have opportunity to use japanese more than the other languages since all the media i consume of it.

meanwhile with spanish for example i would struggle having to consume media of it frequently or just use it in general! i have a colombian friend but then i would need to learn her dialect instead of the one i wanted to learn (spain one)

andd not using the language frequently will eventually make me forget it! happened to my brother too with another language.

i could watch youtube videos in those languages BUT...i dont see myself doing it because i already watch all of them in english (im native italian) since i find more things i enjoy in english. this doesnt apply to japanese tho since i already watch things in that language (i dont know why)

so what should i do? how should i pick what to learn? is there things i can do to help me use the languages i learn more often?

i will be taking for example spanish and french since these are the languages i want to learn

im italian, so spanish is easy to understand for me altough i have close to zero knowdlege about it, but i already have some knowdlege in french from highschool, like basic grammar,vocabulary....

i would like to learn both fast, so i thought about learning them at the same time, but i dont know if it's effective since french and spanish are similar because they are both romance languages.

so is it reccomended to learn both at the same time? if yes, how should i do it? if no, what should i do then? learn first spanish or french?

edit: THANKS EVERYONE

Looking for recommendations for best app to learn Spanish

Hey hola hallo everyone! 👋

As a language learner, I’ve found it tough to maintain and grow my vocabulary when studying multiple languages at once. So I built an app to make sure I never missed a day of study again!

The app is available for Spanish and German 🇪🇸🇩🇪, and it sends daily push notifications with new words in your target language. Each word includes translations, example sentences, and more!

You can check it out here 👉 www.vocaboftheday.com.

I'm actively adding features (and working on adding more languages) every day so I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! 😊

Danke gracias thanks!

Hey all,

Ever wondered what your current level is in the language you're learning? I'm developing a language learning app and just added a quick and fun game to test your level.

Find out what level you're on

You can use stickly for free to go from your current level to the next! Especially coming from an advanced level, it picks you up where you are and helps you get ahead :)

Hope you have fun with it and I'm happy about every kind of comment and feedback you have!

Hello everyone! 😊

I hope you're all doing well! I’m a 21-M from India, and I’ll be moving to Germany in April to start my master’s program. I’m really excited about this new chapter, but there’s one area where I could use some support: speaking German!

I’ve completed the basics (A1 level) and have a solid understanding of German grammar, but I’m struggling with conversational practice. I don’t currently have a language partner, so it’s difficult for me to practice speaking and build my confidence.

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone would be interested in being my German speaking partner. Whether it’s a casual chat once a week, discussing everyday topics, or even talking about German culture, I’d love to connect. And of course, if you’re learning English, I’d be more than happy to help you in return!

Thank you a lot in advance 💜

Hi.

I am conducting a study on how personality changes when speaking a foreign language, and I thought this would be a good place to gather some insights.

Essentially, I am interested in whether people feel their personalities change when they speak a foreign language fluently, or at least with sufficient proficiency to express themselves with their own personal touch. For example, my native language is European Portuguese, and I speak English fluently, but my Spanish is at an intermediate level. I would like to know if and how you perceive changes in your personality when speaking a foreign language, and which languages these changes occur in, if at all.

For instance, I have noticed that I tend to be more humorous and sociable/extroverted when speaking English, in contrast to my native language.

I don't like using apps like Duolingo. I've used Duolingo for some time, but I understood that I learnd nothing from this app. One method for learning a new language I like though, is using podcasts like RussianPod101, JapanesePod101, GermanPod101 and so on. I know that you don't learn a language just with podcasts, even if they can help a lot, so I would like to hear some other suggestions to to learn a new language better in fast way. I would like to see that I learnd something, not like Duolingo where I learnd just some words in few months. Any advice can help me a lot, so thanks for suggestions!

As a advanced English learner, I decided to learn German as I want to move there after some years and The main thing i should do is Learning the German. But , I do not want to take any offline courses rather study by myself because I am also an English teacher. And I am facing a problem with finding Reliable Resources. So, What would you advise me for Grammar, Listening, Reading And speaking?

So I’m dating a guy who is from Belgium, and he speaks Flemish ( Belgian Dutch) . But I’m struggling to find places I can learn it. I want to surprise him by learning the language for when I visit his family next year June, (we are in a long distance relationship, I live in South Africa and he lives in Belgium ) does anyone know of where or how I could learn it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

English: learn Russian because it is good trust me

Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on a research project that explores various language learning methodologies across different environments—schools, coaching centers, apps, and even online platforms. As part of this, I need to interact with a diverse group of language learners (at least 15 participants) to understand what works best for them and what challenges they face in their learning journey.

If you're learning a language-whether you're using apps like Duolingo, attending classes, or studying in any other format—I'd love to hear about your experience! Specifically, I'm interested in hearing about:

1. The methods you're using to learn your target language.

2. What you find effective or ineffective in your language learning process.

3. Your thoughts on formal vs. informal language learning (e.g., in classrooms vs. apps). 4. Any challenges you've faced and how you overcame them.

4. The role of technology, like language learning apps or Al language models (LLMs), in your learning journey, if any.

Your insights will help create a broader understanding of how various pedagogies affect language acquisition, and how we can improve them.

If you wish to participate, filling out the linked google form would be much appreciated (preferred because it is more structured). Alternatively, responding here in the comments also works!

Thanks in advance for your help!
