Dear #fediverse I need some help again. What #languageLearningApp could you recommend? Why do you like using it? And is there #opensourcesoftware for #LanguageLearning or as #LearningResources you find helpful? I am looking especially for apps for #learningFinnish #learningSpanish #LearningUkrainian #learningSwedish

If possible I would like to avoid AI and I am willing to pay for the app/resources. But free/no-cost ideas are welcome 😊

I am creating my own German-Spanish learning materials for my personal day to day learning tailored to my personal use cases.

Once I am done collecting I will hire a professional native speaking translator to replace the initial automatic translations with proper ones.

Better investment than those learning app subscriptions.

I believe any learning app that wants your money monthly instead of once has not your best interest in mind.

(Even though I've been here for 2 years. Intros make me that anxious. 😅)

Curious. Introvert. I always try to be compassionate. I live in a small town in the state of Rio; grew up in one here too.

Now, in no particular order, I'm gonna drop lots of hashtags somehow related to me, 'cause it feels less intimidating: #queer #bi #nb #transfem #autistic #ADHD #bipolar #SpeculativeFiction #animanga #pop #alt #electronica #goth #solarpunk #feminism #left #LearningFrench #LearningSpanish

@vegemitepumpkin

I'm intermediate in Spanish. I've learned and lost many languages. The best method I know to learn a language is to immerse yourself. If you cannot immerse yourself, then you have to simulate it. Here's what I do:

- I use DeepL to figure out vocabulary that I don't know, or to polish my Spanish.

- I create flashcards related to my life.

- I listen to music in Spanish.

- I read books in Spanish, usually with the help of an English or French translation.

- I watch shows in Spanish.

- I participate in a conversation group.

- I use https://www.spanishdict.com for grammatical questions.

Some of this should be adaptable to any level. My conversation group is intermediate, but I recall seeing groups for beginners or others that assume fluency.

Here's the Dungeons and Dragons series in Spanish. The subtitles are iffy, but they are still useful:

Talking about musical groups who sing in Spanish and sing relatively clearly, I've recently discovered the group La vela puerca.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Vela_Puerca

Their best known song is probably Zafar:

Back on Thursday I went to a few bookstores here in Valencia. One of them had a separate chess section, where I saw books by Miguel Illescas. I considered buying the book on endings, but after a bit of research I saw that the "Curso completo de ajedrez" basically contains all four paperbacks, and the ebook version was only 9.49€ :neofox_book:

Now I can work on my Spanish and on my chess at the same time, and I can use the Chessnut Go to play through the exercises against the engine :neofox_happy:

Three good things about today:

1. Worked with hubby to get a wood rack modified to fit the back of our woodshed.

2. Learned a new word in Spanish: marido = husband

3. Had a delicious steak supper and a glass of Voodoo Ranger (an IPA) at Saltgrass.

#learningspanish 'Tiempo Condicional' learnt today: reading Spanish OSM tagging discussions. For me unknown verb conjugations like " ..se debería usar..". " la cambiaríamos ...". Not yet in my course...

Researching: in English we would say "we should, would, could, ..use, change etc". But Spanish has single 'Condicional' tense. Very often used in our field as we (usually) talk politely in terms of recommendations, how things could/should be done (programmed, tagged!).

"Buscarle tres pies al gato" (for @delawen ). Translates literally: "to look for three feet on the cat" in English. However, the phrase is idiomatic, like "estar en las nubes" (=daydreaming, not about Cloud Tech), and actually means "to nitpick". In Dutch it is simply: "Muggenziften". Both expressions apply to me btw.. @jorgesanz

I continue to be amazed by the quality feedback I get from my custom GPT:

Spanish Coach: Analyzer and Alternatives Generator

https://chatgpt.com/g/g-WNDowewbg-spanish-coach-analyzer-and-alternatives-generator

I have reached an intermediate level of Spanish, but I have a LONG way to go before I feel fluent. When I write emails or WhatsApp messages in Spanish, I write a draft in Spanish, drop it into my GPT, and get feedback — in Spanish — on how I did, what can be improved, and some areas where students often get tripped up. Helpful!

Whenever I start dreaming in a language I’m learning, I know that it’s taking. Like, I’m struggling a lot learning Spanish but then I had a dream or two where I spoke Spanish and I knew I was going to be okay with learning the language.

I haven’t dreamt in ASL yet but I think that’s to do with the fact that my eyesight is incredibly bad in my dreams. I’m very near-sighted in life but obviously wear glasses. Apparently, since I don’t have those on when I sleep, I also don’t see well in my dreams. 😂

So, I’m currently learning both ASL and Spanish. Started approximately at the same time, although a tiny bit earlier with ASL — but that disadvantage for Spanish should easily be made up by the fact that I already know Italian.

I find it both fascinating and hilarious how in ASL I can now have a smol conversation about where I grew up and my hobbies while in Spanish I’m still building silly little sentences that say “in the summer it’s very hot and sunny.” 😆
