languagelearning
I usually spend 1-2 hours. Any more than that and I get too tired. At my pace it takes about a year and a half to 2 years to get to where I can read and listen. But I reckon it could be cut down if I was spending more time a day. I heard that training diplomats spend 8 hours a day on the language they're learning: a full time job. Imagine that. I'd be completely exhausted and my brain would be buzzing by the end. You reckon you could do that?
we all know it's popular to use music and videos to learn a language. do you start off by having some intermediate knowledge of a language before you start using music/videos to learn and then write down any new terms? what is your process? I am trying to use videos to learn cantonese but there is a lot I am struggling to understand.
I'm using Duolingo to improve my Mandarin and learn to read, and to learn Spanish. Does anyone have some recommendations of texts for learners to practice reading? My wife suggested me to use kids books, but I'd like a more motivating content than teddy bear's adventures...
I recommend this app to learn languages, especially the Romance languages. You type in the movie/TV show name in Simple Mode and read through the subtitles and match the foreign language to English. This really helps me learn languages, especially Spanish. I use _Harry Potter_ as my main source.
I'm trying to come up with a decent study routine between two languages. I would love to hear what languages you guys are learning, and how are you organizing your time between them. What has been working for you?
Just as the post title says, is there anyone using Anki here? Would there be enough interest in making a separate `Language Learning Anki` community?
