I knew from the beginning that Duolingo would not take me to fluency in any language I chose to learn using it. I did like that they aligned their European languages with CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

I have used other material. The best one I’ve found so far is Language Transfer. It only has a few languages. I’ve gone through the #Spanish lessons twice and have started on the #German lessons. It’s all audio.

I've been using #LanguageTransfer to learn #Spanish (#Español), and so far I'm loving it! I'm at lesson 20 out of 90 now.

At first, the course teaches you how certain English words can be very easily converted into Spanish, for example -al adjectives can very often be converted into Spanish as it is, only changing the pronunciation. Real (reeel /ɹi:l/) -> real (rrre-AL /re'al/). And converting -ly adverbs to -mente. Probably > problamente. Or changing -tion nouns to -ción for the equivalent noun or to -ar to make it a verb. Creation > creación (kre-a-SION /kɾe.a'sjon/) > crear (to create) (kre-AR /kɾe'aɾ/). It's a very nice way to boost the learner's confidence.

The course emphasizes a lot on not taking notes, and to think about the exercise problems by pausing. You're not supposed to try to memorize stuff, instead you gradually remember words and conjugations by thinking through it and by forgetting and relearning them in the lessons.

One very interesting thing is that in the beginning 10-ish classes, they use a lot of verbs like (I) want (quiero), (I) must (debo), etc. to avoid having to conjugate verbs in the beginning and overwhelming the learner. Like at first you learn stuff like "I want to see her" (Quiero ver la) to not have to deal with weird irregularities such as "I see her" (La veo).

It's really fun. 9.8/10 recommend. (0.2 points taken away for low volume of the audio files)

Well arrived in #Istanbul for #wmhack, with @douginamug. Keen to meet up ahead of the event, and likely afterwards too. We haven't booked our return trip yet, exciting!

Also, trying out #languagetransfer to learn #turkish and it's amazing, definitely recommend.

I’ve been wanting to learn, properly speaking, German. Duolingo is really good for vocabulary and I started Language Transfer for German which is being an interesting resource so far.

Any other recommendations #LanguageLearning #language #duolingo #LanguageTransfer ?

I’m at a point where I could buy Rosetta Stone

Language Transfer Review - Better Than A Lot Of Expensive Courses

I tried the courses on Language Transfer to study Swahili and Greek. Despite being free, these courses are better than most paid ones you can find.
