I made it my NYR this year to learn a second language and while I picked Russian at first I switched to Spanish for a few different reasons. I’ve been using Duolingo for about 6 months now but have gotten to the point (I’m around A2 if not very early B1 fluency) where I just don’t find it very helpful on its own anymore and the new stuff I learn just doesn’t stick to my mind as good anymore.
I’d like to start incorporating other resources into my learning (which was the plan from the start) but have no idea where to start. I’ve incorporated note writing as well as flashcards into my learning as of a couple months ago, as well as trying to hold basic Spanish conversations with other people, but this is only really effective for perfecting what I’ve already studied.
To anyone who learned Spanish or really any language, do you know of any other resources for learning the language?
Gracias.
I’d 2nd comrades suggestions below to try out dreamingspanish.
Also highly recommend reading this article written by them, about the comprehensible input method. I’ve tried a lot of other techniques over the years (apps, dictionary / side by side reading, flashcards), but CI is the only thing that works for me, and everything else wasted hundreds of hours of time.
I use the above site for spanish, and a few youtube channels for Mandarin, and am progressing faster than I ever was before with apps.
