I know how we use standard learning apps to learn a foreign language but another way to learn maybe by watching foreign-language videos with subtitles, rather than without them. You can learn languages by reading books or taking classes but this doesn’t give you much exposure to the language. This means that your progress will be slow and frustrating since you won’t be able to use what you learned in real life situations very quickly. Watching foreign-language TV shows with subtitles allows you to get a lot of exposure to the target language without having to spend too much time studying it on your own. It gives me more confidence when I speak because I know that I have already seen how different words are used in context. However, finding good subtitle files for online video content can be difficult (and often illegal). SubtitleBee has an excellent subtitling service that auto generates high quality subtitle files for all kinds of videos on YouTube or personal uploads! It also has over 100 different languages for subtitles and translations so everyone can find something they like. I use this online subtitling service myself and wanted to share this with everyone. It has a free trial so others can try it out but I have found the paid description more useful as well

大家好！I wanted to share my free pop-up dictionary that allows you to learn Chinese while watching your favorite shows on Netflix and reading on the web. You can bookmark new words and export them to flashcard decks. Both ‘s’ and ‘b’ will save/bookmark words. You can download the extension for free here: https://www.inkah.co/ Here’s also a short video tutorial on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7srrvsXi2k I hope you all find this helpful! 加油！

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a resource for speaking and conversation practice! For anyone looking to practice speaking other languages, the mobile app Jeenie is a great resource! It connects the user instantly via audio/video with a qualified bilingual for personalized practice. Currently you can use the app to practice Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, in addition to English. And they are adding new languages constantly--next is American Sign Language. App download is free! Here is a link for a free 10 minute session https://jeenie.app.link/geQdfKxB8Z Simply download the app from the link and the minutes for a free session will automatically be loaded on your account! Happy learning!

Hey guys. I have spent a year developing a language website and now it is online. here is the link: http://motherlang-bananalang.com This is a future resource of amatour video lessons by native speakers - language enthusiasts as you guys! You choose a level from A1 to C2 and any language and upload your lessons there - teaching learners your native language. Here is an example of a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fivibJ7IaMA This kind of videos really help me in learning my german and I think that spreading such an idea with amatour video lessons by native speakers would be nice. Cheers guys! Love, Peace, Care, from Vika - 19 y.o. ukrainian girl.

Hallo, freunde! (Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's 'Hello, friends!' in German, my TL) I'm new here, so I know many may have been aware of this website.

Very helpful! If this post is long overdue or unhelpful, please remove it, admins. And if you are here, hello! Hope I could be of help in our language journeys!
