I've never used memrise but I view 50-75 new cards in my Anki decks every day for Spanish, English and Swedish.

Could any of you check my Swedish pronunciation? Please. Here is my recording: https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/xu6hyi5tg0sgwz22 Here`s the word list: snö, hel, byta, bita, fluga, kung, prata, mat, matt, hål, kylskåp, skön, kön, björn, gräs, svärd, magnet, ben, sten, resa, ögonbryn, övrmorgon.

It`s good to know that there`s someone from Sweden. Perhaps, in the future I`ll ask you to help me by chatting with me via Skype. For now, I`m at level A2 with my Swedish so it`s too soon. I got those minimal pairs from forvo.

This method: https://sendvid.com/v7r7ffmv Forvo (a site with recorded words-mp3). You have to be registered to download files (it`s free): http://forvo.com/ An images searcher; http://images.google.com/search?q=Type+your+search+here&tbm=isch&sout=1 Anki: http://ankisrs.net/ Dictionary: http://www.spanishdict.com/

I want to ask somoeno who is a Swedish native speaker to read and record a few minimal-pairs (similar sounding words) for me. So any Swede here?

Does anybody know any book (or a course, a film etc.) about teaching English without knowing students native language? I mean students who begin studying English or are at most at level A2.

Muchisimas gracias, amigo!

I`m going to try this application (on android) for Spanish learning and I`ll let you know about my impressions.

Where can I test my Spanish level for free? I`m looking for at least a descent online test.

http://phandroid.com/2014/07/09/best-android-apps-for-learning-spanish-japanese-languages/ I just found it!

This is not my method, I just found it at another internet site and I`m curious, what do you think about it.

Is there any? If not, I think that is a good idea to create it. Edit: Got it! Where have my eyes been.

I`m learning both languages (Sapnish and English) and I see many similarities in grammar (tenses) and in vocabulary (cognates). I guess, I see them in grammar due I`m a Pole. In Polish language we`ve got only three tenses. Any way, thereby I`m fluent in English, I`ve a lot less problems with learning Spanish, especially with the memorization of vocabulary.

@Blaveloper Dziękuję, kolego! Actually, I`ve started to use SpanishPod101 but after a couple of days I lost motivation to use it because, like you just wrote, it looks like a scum... But I`ll give it a try once again. I`ll definitely try InnovativeLanguage. Thank you once again. What do you think about Lang-8? Have you try it?

Actually, I`m only at A2 level and I still need to work on basics but your philosophy makes sesne for me fully. I watch `Pocoyo` (animated serial for small children) every day and when I finish this series I`m going to watch `Dora Exploradora` and `Los Simpons`. Any way, do you, or someone else, know any valuable application for Spanish learning for Android?

Yeah, studying English at university sucks but I want to have a diploma because it might help me to get a job, but, actually, I`ve heard that if you have degree it`s enough to get a job in Japana or Thailand. of course,m you must be fluent.

If you really want to learn Japanese, you should try this, mate. http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/p-7516-9780824835927.aspx

Really? I have been studying English Philology from 8 months to teach English in Japan (or maybe in Thailand) too.

I`m studying English to improve it from fluency to proficiency and Spanish to be fluent and at the same time I`m learning Japanese writing system (Kanji) and I don`t have any problems with this all. As somebody wrote earlier, it`s important to don`t mix languages from the same family (unless you finished learning one or you get fluent) and I think it`s a good idea to get fluent in particular language (B2) and than move to another. My Japanese learning is an exception because I`m learning only Kanji, which is also a good method to improve your memory and foster your imagination. Besides, knowing Kanji is essential to study Japanese. It`s good to learn languages successfully, e.g. when you get fluent in English it`s good to start learning Spanish (due similarity) and than another roman language (Portuguese, French, Italian or Romanian). Also, if you know German, it`s not so hard to learn Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or even Dutch. And so on. Look for similarities, unless you want to learn language only for practical reasons. I do it for passion, but I want to improve my English becasue I`m planning to teach this language abroad...

All suggestions would be much appreciated.
