Shezarr 06/25/21 4:40:43 PM #13:	Smashingpmkns posted... Are you self taught? What are your resources?? Self-taught in German, took 3 years of honors spanish in HS. My spanish has vastly deteriorated over the past decade but ive been in Spain for a couple weeks so a decent amount is coming back slowly, and I did some practice before leaving. Its just been coasting at a low level in my brain for a long time. German I started out with Duolingo about 4 years ago. Eventually used Assimil, listened to lots of German music, podcasts for learning, lots of youtube videos. Now I use Anki for spaced repetition daily and just try to read news/articles/etc and listen to/watch authentic content as much as possible. Comprehensible input is key and although a variety of techniques is important reading is probably the most important one --- The artist formerly known as RebelElite791 <cite>Shezarr posted [p:955428532] in Are you fl...

Shezarr 06/26/21 4:05:18 AM #15:	Good classes are worth paying for, particularly if youre taking them in a place that speaks the language, but im a firm believer that it can be done free or mostly free. Duolingo and/or Memrise is a great place to start and get your feet wet. Youll see if you like the language and get some basic grammar and vocab down. Important thing to remember is that theyre only one tool and will only provide a foundation.
