Learning a language on a course or with private tutor?
LC143 replied to falcon001's topic in Language Learning
Private tutorial guarantees a complete 1:1 ratio, which is proven to work on most studies. Learning a language interactively also increases your chances of becoming fluent with much better pronunciation and at a swifter pace. -
How much money are you prepared to spend on learning a new language?
LC143 replied to Lasonax's topic in Language Learning
I pay for quality, so if there happens to be software that I truly feel can help me then I don't mind shelling out a few more dollars for it. However I've found a significant amount of free and low cost tutorials out there. -
Which dictionary app do you use? [ENGLISH-JAPANESE]
LC143 replied to Czarownica's topic in Language Study Apps
When I used to study my hiragana I found JED to be the most useful dictionary particularly because of the pronunciation as opposed to simple translations. -
Thanks so much for posting this link. I'm currently using the Spanish program with a couple of friends and I've found that learning together really enhances the overall ease of learning the language.

I have tried rosetta stone with multiple languages (Latin American Spanish, Japanese, etc) and I've found that although it improves my memory for words, it does not help me with full conversation skills. The combination between rosetta stone and the pimsleur method however, make for quite the effective learning experience.

Sancocho=Stew. My mother is always making this in the winter, but I never knew the English translation until a friend was making some and described it to me after a reference made to her mother. . Neat
