>>32098That's some good stuff there, I should look for some for Portuguese both Brazillian and European variants. I need more books in Portuguese to read.
Does this thread belong on /edu/ instead?
>>32099Which one is actually good?
Also do people have good stuff for German?

>>32096I'm more interested in techniques. It is easy to find resources related to learning a language. Probably any of those are good enough. That's not the issue though. The issue is doing it consistently and frequent enough.
I dread learning by listening to audiobooks or using the fucking duolingo app. I'm thinking of doing the italki thing, and getting personal classes for my target language. Maybe also get IRL classes.
>>32336Whats wrong with the duolingo app? Using it right now for French, BUT I had already learned this in school so its more of a refresher than anything. maybe if I was oging around the first time I'd want something more indepth
>>32336italki?
also what is some alternatives to duolingo for a duolingo fag?
>>32897I recently started Rosetta Stone Japanese course and it's way quicker. It does an immersion thing, showing just images and the language you're doing. Doesn't do the annoying gamification thing duolingo does.
>>32351Studies show language learning apps generally don't actually promote real fluency in a given language. If you want to become fluent you need to seek out french-speakers and have genuine interaction. Immersion is the only real way to properly gain fluency.
How the fuck do you start learning Chinese as an ESLfag?
>>32971Start watching Chinese dramas
>>32972any recommendations? rn im watching chinese tv but im not that interested in it
>>32973The new three body problem is free on youtube if you like scifi. Actually, so is minning town. Gets slower after the mushroom arc but still pretty decent.
>>33034Their "With Ease" courses are still decent for beginners, from the reviews I'm reading. Some of them you can find with audio on libgen.

Anyone got anything good on learning Bahasa Indonesia?
does anyone else get a weird "click" in their brain when they switch between languages
>>34205The
Ayo Berbahasa Indonesia textbook
>>33187Oh shit this seems pretty cool, thx brah
>>33187ty for the language pack torrents!
Anybody have resources for learning Lithuanian? Also, how can I access Chinese internet, and what sites would you recommend for someone learning Chinese?
>>33187this is very useful, however the material for actually learning and practicing calligraphy, both in stroke order and style for various languages is severely lacking (i checked russian, hindi-urdu, japanese, and arabic)
i'm learning japanese so these links can help you write hiragana and katakana in a proper manner
first thing, get graph paper for practicing. it's important to learn the stroke order, kana/kanji proportions on the square you're writing, and the 3 stroke types (harau, haneru, tomeru)
https://print-kids.net/print/unpitsu/hiragana-unpitsu/https://print-kids.net/print/unpitsu/katakana-unpitsu/complementary to graph paper you can also print genkouyoushi pages
https://happylilac.net/yousi-genko.htmlhttps://happylilac.net/sy-ntka.htmlrules for writing
https://hiroba.jitco.or.jp/info/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/genkoyoshi-E.pdfhttps://www.amherst.edu/system/files/media/1532/How_to_use_Genkoyoshi_0.pdfhttps://www.tofugu.com/japanese/japanese-punctuation/ >>45521>>33187the .magnet has some really good books in japanese, especially under 06. children's books which are really handy for beginners
for kanji it's solid, although i prefer the kodansha kanji learner's dictionary (it's in djvu format in the torrent) and jisho for kanji details. if you're new you probably want to learn kanji by school grade order or by JLPT level
https://www.kanshudo.com/collections/jlpt_kanjihttps://www.kanji-link.com/en/kanji/grade/https://jisho.org/search/%E7%81%AB%20%23kanji >>45521>>45522for marugoto i recommend you use primarily the rikai books, and katsudo for backup, the latter are useful for reviewing content but also has some vocabulary not present in rikai
https://marugoto.jpf.go.jp/en/download/starter_a/site for the audios and other relevant marugoto content (it's free)
as a rule don't spend time learning through more than 2 books at a time, it's redundant
Is there any good media in Portuguese, Irish, or Scottish (preferably in horror stories, but anything decent will do)? It's kind of hard to learn them when you're not actually imersing yourself into the languages.
>>45687tu es l'anon qui était en train d'apprendre toki pona l'année passée ?
any rec's for french media to consume? preferably something from the last 2 or 3 years
