Haven’t studied Esperanto in damn near two years yet I completely understood all of “Pasporto al la tuta mondo” without actively listening. Can I consider that a win?

ATTENTION LANGBLR!!

This is a really cool resource to help you listen online to talk radio or sing along to your target language. I've used it forever to get the good stations I miss, but not a lot of people know about it.

If you go to radio.garden/listen, you can essentially tune into any city's radio stations around the world and listen to your target language for free.

Examples below (you also get a pick of multiple stations in bigger cities and the option to save the ones you like):

hi there! I was just wondering what programs or resources you're using to learn dansk?

Hey! @transmankirk sorry for taking so long. I use mostly lessons from my teacher, a book called Danish: An essential grammar  (

dictionary

vocabulary 1 , vocabulary 2

conjugator

[wherethereareoctobers]

If you could instantly be granted fluency in 5 languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 5 would you choose?

I can’t wait to be an expert in linguistics and to be able to speak a bunch of languages fluently

I can’t wait to be an expert in linguistics and to be able to barely speak a bunch of languages

My brain: *knows perfectly how to pronounce a word in my target language*

My mouth: Ha bitch you thought

[mortecinas]

I think I need to remind myself that I literally have my entire life to study languages and I don’t need to be fluent in everything right now or worry about my growing list of languages that I want to study cause I do have time.

WE’RE SPENDING TIME WITH OUR TARGET LANGUAGES THIS YEAR PALS!

[hownottolearnalanguage]

I have a new favorite YouTube channel: Learn Danish with Thomas. The host, Thomas, makes short, cute videos about different topics in Danish and subtitles them. He also reads each line twice–kinda slow and then even slower. His most recent video is about the now well-known topic of hygge.

[missworldwide]

Okay so apparently I’m choosing Danish and there’s no going back. This officially marks Day Four.

reblog this and put in the tags which language sounds the most beautiful to your ears, it’s for important research

[ipablo6-blog]

language learning made easy

I’ve summarized professor  Alexander Arguelles’ video, because I think this is crucial for language learning. 

There is no magic trick that will help you become fluent in 1 month, but there are very effective approaches to learning a new language and if you combine them, you will surely become fluent.

If you’re learning a new language, the most important thing you need to consider is – what type of language learner are you? 

1. If you:

have a more deductive approach, which means that you’re better at listening to and observing the language first and learning through that, rather than starting with plain grammar points from a textbook

have a fair degree of intuition

like to observe a phenomenon

feel somewhat comfortable with ambiguity for a while, until things become clear

are someone who can feel comfortable being corrected when they realize they were wrong, rather than getting confused and frustrated because they went down an initial path that turned out not to be correct (so you actually learn from being corrected and you don’t get confused by it)

then, these manuals are best suited for you: the Assimil Language Series, the Linguaphone Series, the Cortina Methods.

2. If you:

have a desire to have things explained to you beforehand in a nice and clear way

have a logical and analytical mind (which is usually the product of education in general)

have a need for a systematic approach (basically if you’re most comfortable with a book which is going to introduce the grammar according to an agreed set of methods or an organized plan)

then, you should try out some of these manuals: the Hugo Series, the Made Simple Series, the Teach Yourself Series, the Buske Series. 

3. PAY ATTENTION TO PATTERNS!!!

the most important part are the patterns of a language

no matter what type of language learner you are, I think it’s really clever to incorporate this method into you learning. 

a language is actually made up of patterns which constantly repeat themselves and that is THE KEY TO FLUENCY

repeating the patterns over and over again, until they become natural, until you no longer have to conjugate the verbs in your head before speaking

when you become really good with patterns, your sentences will come out naturally, and patterns are what will get you to fluency

I’ve provided the links, where you will find a review of the books, so that you can have an idea of what they look like. You can find most of these on amazon.

There is also an amazing blog on here, which provides free books, and I think that you can find half of these series for free there.  @lovelybluepanda
