Language Learning @lemmy.ml Randy Resnick @lemmy.ml How I learned French in a Hotel Bar
I awoke to hundreds of honking car horns the next day and the smell, not of croissants and espresso coffees as I dreamed, but diesel fumes, I was still really excited. You know what’s great? Being really excited in a strange and beautiful city, with all expenses paid! And when I say all, it will taken on additional significance shortly.

Language Learning @lemmy.ml emeraldheart @beehaw.org Language Learning Habits
Hello everyone! I'm trying to make sure my language learning habits are the best they can be. I was using Duolingo and Busuu, but that was taking a lot of time away from immersion/fun and what I learned in one I often learned in the other. So now I just use Busuu for grammar learning.
Any new German words I come across I then enter into Anki for memorization, which I practice once a day.
After these two activities, I try to fill my day as much as possible with German media; this includes German podcasts, music, games translated into German, and YouTube videos.
I want to know... Is this an effective method? I'm always a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm looking for either validation or constructive criticism. Alternatively, you could just share your own language learning methods!
