Language learner

Smily1225 June 8th, 2021

Hello! One of my hobbies is language learning. I'm happy that there is a community dedicated to languages. It's a small percentage of us who are really into it but it's nice to have a place to connect with others also interested in languages 😁. I am a native English speaker and I also speak Spanish, some French and some Portuguese. My most recent endeavors are Japanese and Korean.

Hey @Sunisshiningandsoareyou! Thank you for the warm welcome! 😁 In terms of language learning, I do/have done a combination of coursework and self study. I like to take language classes when I have the opportunity, but I also do a lot of self study. I usually learn the writing system first, depending on the language, but I find that if I can pronounce the words, it makes it easier for me to remember new vocabulary. I also do a lot of listening practice in the form of random videos on YouTube and music. It helps me to remember words and sentence patterns. Grammar study is helpful as well and there are many apps for language learning, as well as apps where you can connect with native speakers.

I feel this way too! Whenever I want to start studying a new language, the first thing I’d do is find resources; but then there are too many sources and that makes me feel overwhelmed. In the end, I don’t even start or make progress 😅

I think finding what works best for you is a great start. My preferred learning style is auditory so I enjoy watching/listening to YouTube videos or podcasts where they teach the language or just speak it. It's a nice substitute for immersion if it's difficult to surround yourself in the language. I've found that apps do not work very well for me. I'll use them but I don't expect to get very far with them. I also like learning with a teacher in a class because of the full involvement.

I actually prefer italki for private teachers/tutors for language learning. There are so many to choose from and the cost is really affordable. There is also no commitment to stick with the same teacher/tutor so you can try different ones and find one that you like best.


Also I'm a bit skeptical of clicking on links so I will not be providing any, however I encourage people to do their own research.

I'm getting back in Japanese. I'm a student and I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to learning it but it's one of my goals.

Smily1225 OP January 12th, 2022

How far have you gotten in your German and Japanese studies?
