Also, fellow #LanguageLearning nerds, how do we feel about #Pimsleur? Any good? I just found out my library has copies and was thinking of trying it out.
@mynasaurus I enjoyed using it to pick up a little bit of Arabic. I really like the way it trains you to come up with a target language phrase you’ve learned by asking you what it is an English, then leaving a space for you to say it out loud. Much more effective for me than listening and repeating. I don’t get a sense that it would be useful for a deep study of a language, but for basic communication I think it’s great.
@whetstone Ah interesting! Thank you for your detailed response, that's very helpful (and I had no idea there was a romancelandia server, how cool!).
@mynasaurus Courtney Milan mentioned it and I figured it would be a nice home. Romance readers/authors tend to be interested in a wide variety of things & generally politically harmonious.
… harmonious with my thinking, i should say.
