Are language learning Apps even a good tool to learn a language or rather a waste of your time? Here are some pro- and contra arguments on the matter. https://youtu.be/khzZZ9xdEXQ

Good idea! Let's make the best of screen time haha

Hi! Personally, I find it very fun and motivating to learn something when other people are doing it at the same time (and there's a little bit of competition involved too haha). Does anyone know about any active language learning challenges people can participate in simultaneously online?

Are there any parents here who are teaching their child a foreign language? If so, how do you do it/what techniques do you use? How do the approaches vary depending on the age of the child? I don't have kids myself, but I'd be interested to know the different approaches there are

Hello Brian! My name is Nina. I have recently started a YouTube channel to have a platform where I'm able to share my experiences with language learning, and I have been very interested lately in connecting with people who create resources in that field (so developers of language learning Apps/Websites/other resources), trying their resource out, and talking to them about the whole development process behind their creation. I really like the idea that you are focusing on creating a resource targeted at less well known and common languages, and I would love to have a chat with you about it! So you can get an idea of what I mean, here is the latest video I've posted, where I reviewed and met with the developers of a Chinese learning App called JinbuPal: https://youtu.be/-EG_CxqWxAA Please, if you think we'd be a good fit for a conversation, let me know! All the best and have a great day, Nina

Hey everyone! I have recently started a YouTube channel related to language learning, and am becoming more and more interested in the idea of meeting and talking (in a podcast style) to many different people involved in language learning with interesting stories to tell. They can be anything, from polyglots speaking a multitude of different languages, to language learning App- or website developers, to scientific researchers in the language learning field. So, if you think you have an interesting story to tell and would enjoy having a conversation about it, please, let me know (by replying to this post for example)! I've included the link to my YouTube channel below, so you can check it out and get an idea of the sort of videos I make and see if you think we'd be a good fit for a chat My channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAXjK2WmgcTNg-JtAI4j86g/featured Thanks for reading!

Overcoming the intermediate plateau when learning a new language can be extremely frustrating, as you may feel that, no matter how much work and effort you put into your studies, you're just barely improving. Here are some things you can do that may help with that! Enjoy https://youtu.be/RrSJt4Vm_Wg

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, I should have definitely specified that more, thanks for letting me know. I did cover your point of learning vocab through context though, when I mentioned learning the words for everyday objects around the house (the sticky-notes approach) and also when writing your grocery shopping lists in your target language instead fo your mother tongue. These are both examples of vocabulary you learn through the context of your everyday life that are individual and not standardised in the same way for everybody (it depends on the things you use, the foods you like, etc.). But I agree, it would have been good to clarify the context aspect. And regarding the reading tools: I had actually not thought of that as a thing to include in that video (I am planning on making a different one talking about that), but I can see how it would have been great to include. I will look at some of the software you mentioned! Again, I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks! :)

Here are some tips to help you memorise vocabulary faster and more effectively. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/AwAvOZW4Q_Y

Hi! I've filmed myself talking in Chinese every day for a month in order to track my progress, and here are the results! I'd love to hear some feedback and suggestions to improve Enjoy! https://youtu.be/3db6SpwNO1s

Hello! First of all, I love the concept! I was looking around on your website looking for some contact info, but couldn't find an Email or similar.. I hope you will see this haha! My name is Nina, I've recently started a language learning YouTube channel, and have been contacting developers of new language learning Apps/resources, interviewing them about the whole development process behind App/resource, and reviewing it (in the form of a video). Linked below is an example video I uploaded a few days ago, where I met with the developer of a newly developed English learning App called Skeebdo. I hope you can have a look, and see if you'd be interested in doing something similar! Here's the video: https://youtu.be/SJ1ZUjfdeQE In any case, I hope you have a great day! All the best

Hey, here's a video that can give you an idea of how long it'll take you to reach fluency depending on the language that you are learning. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/xOgJG46Dm0U

Skeebdo is an App that teaches you english with the vocabulary from your favourite TV shows, Netflix series, movies and more. Here is a video with not only the review of the app with all its functions but also an exclusive interview with Skeebdo's developer in which he shares insights into the whole development process of the App. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/SJ1ZUjfdeQE
