I have a Spanish customer assigned to me at work and that got me interested again in Spanish. I have the
Brainscape Spanish premium set and it seems really nice like the core set is for anki. I don't know if I'll have the patience to do flashcards for another language though. But it did give me the opportunity to watch this non japanese anime on Netflix that always pops up as recommended. Wakfu or something. It has several languages but no Japanese. English, Spanish and French. I'm really liking it. I've studied Japanese more overall I'm sure but there's a lot of cognates so it's pretty easy. I think my Spanish is about the same as my Japanese. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Apparently, Brainscape saw me browsing their premium set for Chinese and they follow up with you to see if
you'll buy after all. I'm so tempted. I do want to do Chinese still but I just don't have time for it. Here's the message: Did you know that we worked with brilliant subject-matter experts to chop up complex, critical concepts into perfect bite-sized knowledge chunks? Do you know how easily these pieces will be absorbed by your brain using our Confidence-based Repetition (CBR)? Sure you don't want to learn it all faster than ever you thought possible? I'm such a sucker. Gah. I would buy it in two seconds if they had it for Korean or Japanese. It's only available using simplified kanji but contrary to last year, I think I'd rather use the simplified kanji. It would be different and most material is made for simplified anyway. But I've got so much more work to do with Korean. Speaking of Korean, I made more flashcards for grammar. The other ones were really example sentences so it was more of a sentence deck with some grammar notes on the side. This is just about the rules. I started last night and it's working well. I made cards up through lesson eight on how to study Korean. I'll make more. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm trying out the talk to me in Korean shows starting from the beginning. I only listened to the first show over
the summer. It's helping. It helps me picture Korea and Koreans talking as I think about Korean and it feels more real. One reason I liked the How To Study Korean site is all the vocabulary they get be you with the lessons. I think it's perhaps too much since I was trying to learn all the vocab before going onto the next grammar lesson. Looking at talk to me in Korean it seems they ignore vocabulary by and large just keeping it to a few words. They sell books for those looking for more vocab. They're not really cheap either but they do look pretty good... Except I always use srs for vocab. They don't include a file for this just a PDF or printed book and a mp3 with some audio to go with. If I have to spend all the time making flashcards then I'm not paying what they're charging. I'm gonna listen to the shows though. I can clean and listen. I really need to clean. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I went on a talk to me on Korean listening binge. I'm now 18 episodes into the series. It's still mostly review
but it's giving me some practice for structures and what not. It's making me nostalgic for Japanese pod 101 but I refuse to pay for that since I've given them so much money already and did not get much back as I got distracted by other ways to study. I really like TTMIK all the episodes are free. Edited by kraemder on 17 November 2014 at 5:41am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm trying out something I was going to do anyway but got some reinforcement from a TTMIK episode. I've
been a fan of audio books for a long time and found them really helpful for foreign languages. But I haven't found much for Japanese that held my interest. Then I thought of just listening to anime without watching. I found it pretty effective - I heard words better and concentrated better. This guy who was being interviewed on TTMIK said he did the same thing but then rewatched the show to check himself. I was only doing it for stuff I'd watched already since I was thinking it wasn't a book so you had to see stuff or you couldn't understand. I'm finding doing it like that guy said is working well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Am I the only one who immediately fired up iTunes and grabbed all 30+GB that I was entitled to?
I'm seriously tempted to add Korean to my language-learning plan. No tones, reasonable writing system - is that correct? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You're not the only one. I downloaded all Japanesepod101 audio and pdf lessons and spent 6 months studying Japanese using their resources alone. If you use coupon YOUPICK1, you only have to pay $1 for 1 month premium membership. Edited by doodoofan on 17 November 2014 at 10:36pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll take a look and see what I downloaded. The thing is that I downloaded episodes ages ago when I was at
a different Japanese level than I am now. I never figured out iTunes so I was downloading off the website directly. I might get a trial membership again although I feel a little cheap doing that but they've taken so much money that I really shouldn't. 1 person has voted this message useful |
