I made it my NYR this year to learn a second language and while I picked Russian at first I switched to Spanish for a few different reasons. I’ve been using Duolingo for about 6 months now but have gotten to the point (I’m around A2 if not very early B1 fluency) where I just don’t find it very helpful on its own anymore and the new stuff I learn just doesn’t stick to my mind as good anymore.
I’d like to start incorporating other resources into my learning (which was the plan from the start) but have no idea where to start. I’ve incorporated note writing as well as flashcards into my learning as of a couple months ago, as well as trying to hold basic Spanish conversations with other people, but this is only really effective for perfecting what I’ve already studied.
To anyone who learned Spanish or really any language, do you know of any other resources for learning the language?
Gracias.
Well, I did make a one-time payment for $20 for Anki…
…It is still a one-time payment, right? God, I hope so… I might take your advice, tbh.
Oh, you paid for the iOS app? That’s a one-time payment to help the devs pay for Apple’s Developer Fees (because for some fucking reason, developing for Apple costs each dev 99USD per year + requires a Mac).
No other platform is that entitled, so no other OS apps require you to pay. This issue is a big reason why open-source apps are less popular on iOS.
Apple has the gall to make developers pay for the privilege of making apps, then makes them pay a massive cut of any in-app purchases. By adding this fee, Apple incentivizes devs to add in-app purchases so they don’t lose money, ultimately making Apple even more money.
Noice.
I’ll try it out!
