Very late, apologies.
can I join this com? I’ve been learning Suomi and Norske and will need somebody to practice with soon or some recommendations for when I graduate off of duolingo
Of course! Anyone can :) You can also just make a post in the community if you need specific help, people should see it as we have quite a few subscribers!
I encourage you to also post in these weekly threads if you want to be accountable to yourself on your learning path :)
I know that !learn_finnish@sopuli.xyz is also somewhat active, as a tip.
Tervetuloa ja onnea matkaan! :)
Doing better now. However instead of doing Japanese, Spanish and Irish for 30 mins each, I ended up pumping at least an hour into Japanese and Spanish and next to nothing into my Irish.
I recently found out about Dreaming In Spanish, and have been addicted to that for the last few days. I can understand most of the beginner videos, but I still need a lot of direct studying to do too. So I study for 30 mins then indulge in content for 30 mins.
Nothing close to DiS for Japanese or Irish, but I wish there was.
It’s not the end of the day, so maybe I’ll pick up my Irish in about 5-10 mins, after I get some more tea. Also Spirit City: Lofi Sessions released their latest DLC today, so I have been slowly accruing the latest pets there. At level 56 so already have all hints unlocked, just putting time into unlocking them now.
Edit: Was told of cijapanese, which is simmilar to DiS, so I’ve only begun using that. I’m more confused at to what the beginner Japanese is saying compared to the Spanish, but otherwise I get the gist of somethings.
Yeah, Dreaming Spanish is really well organized and pretty fun to listen to. There are a lot of CI channels for Japanese, but usually not as extensive.
Comprehensible Japanese is good like you mentioned.
I really recommend IroiroNihongo. Especially this beginner’s playlist was really easy to follow along with.
I also like Akane a lot. Hers are not as easy, but she speaks very clearly and uploads a lot.
Some other channels I have in my subscriptions that might be of interest, but most don’t quite scratch the same itch:
Many thanks for the list. It’ll take me some time to get through it, but still should be worthwhile. Cheers!
I’ve been messing around with Wagotabi (game for Japanese learning) a little this week. I heard about it here on Lemmy (I think in this community?), and it just released the Steam version. It’s still rough around the edges in spots. But as far as education games go, it seems to have the right direction.
This gave me an idea of making a post gathering up such recommendations and linking the post in the sidebar, but not sure if we have enough traction yet for that.
Gamifying learning is a really powerful tool!
That sounds promising. Could be a big project, if the scope is to build lists of resources for all sorts of different languages. I think it’d be useful though!
True, and probably it’s going to live a lot and change over time. Need to give this a bit of thought once I have bit more free time!
I see a lot of useful resources posted to these weekly threads and I love that you guys are giving them your own personal reviews.
