Using Busuu to learn Russian

I just finished my first lesson on Busuu! Before, I had never really tried this system.
I came across it thanks to my Russian teacher and Torbyrne. Both recommended Busuu as a
fun tool for learning languages.
So, after months of considering whether to join that platform or not, I finally got my
first lesson done. I was really amazed, because I had not yet finished the lesson, when
I already got 4 or 5 answers of other learners, who corrected one of my first exercises
I had just finished a few seconds before. That's fantastic!
In return, I corrected a few exercises of people who learn one of my languages.
Just for information: There are lots of interactive exercises, with quizzes and audio
files, including pictures, dialogs, etc. Of course there is a premium version too. But
I found the free materials to be good enough! Isn't that a fun way of learning
languages? By the way, Busuu is powered by some well-known names. Have a look yourself.

Some resources to learn Russian

Here is a list of resources I use to learn Russian. Please note that I don't get
any kind of reward by posting these sites. Furthermore, I want to point out that I just
use the material available for free. I don't pay for any extra, premium, or pro service.
Please be careful when surfing on these websites. Some of them have lots of advertisement,
so keep your eyes open and think before you click on a blinking tag.
The 3 first websites have a German language interface, the others are in English.

About: My favourite site! Lots of info around learning Russian, about the country, culture, and much more.

URL: http://www.russlandjournal.de/
About: A site full of info about Russia, language, travel, culture. With recipes and lots of tips.
CAVE: Full of advertisements!!!
Special: I personally appreciate the podcast (also available on iTunes).
   They also offer a complete PDF-book with all the lessons (dialogs, transcripts, grammar, etc.) used in the podcast episodes.
   Normally you don't need to buy it, but I think € 9.95 is a fair price. I haven't bought it (yet).
Interface language: German

URL: http://www.russianpod101.com/
About: Well, you know already the [Insert language]Pod101-series. I only use the free material available on iTunes (with no account).
I used to have one, but I asked the webmasters to delete it, because they send you lots of mails telling you what you should do, what you are missing when you don't buy the product X with XY% off, etc.
Interface language: English

Beginning Russian Through Film
URL: http://russian.dmll.cornell.edu/brtf/films.htm

collected close to 400 clips and placed them on this Web site along with many supporting materials. You can use a Windows or Macintosh computer to take advantage of the course. No registration is necessary
(or, indeed, possible), and no credit is given, unless the student is registered for first-year Russian at Cornell.” (Quoted from the site)

Mejorá tu ortografía

La última vez que estuve hablando por Skype, recomendé el libro "El desafío de la ortografía", con muchos ejercicios para mejorar la ortografía. Con ese libro aprendí muy rápido a
escribir sin errores. Quizás no todos tengan la oportunidad de comprar ese libro. Además hay demasiados libros para entrenarse, que no sabría cuál otro recomendar. Una alternativa a la
compra, sería el entrenamiento por internet, ya que hay varios sitios y páginas que ofrecen aplicaciones para mejorar la ortografía. Aquí les ofrezco unos enlaces:

Sitio con varios ejercicios interactivos: http://www.aplicaciones.info/ortogra/ortogra.htm
Sitio con materiales digitales para el aprendizaje activo de la ortografía: http://contenidos.educarex.es/mci/2006/08/html/menu.htm
Índice con reglas de ortografía: http://www.reglasdeortografia.com/ortoindice.html

Además de la ortografía, a veces hace falta mejorar la comprensión de lectura, p. ej. si uno se está preparando para un examen internacional de lenguas. Fíjense en el próximo enlace, un
documento en formato PDF con varias ideas de cómo mejorar la compresión lectora. Supongo que el documento sólo fue creado para maestros y docentes, pero me parece muy útil, y quizá
también les sirva a ustedes: http://www.techtraining.es/revista/numeros/PDF/2011/revista_ 29/13.pdf

¡Que tengan mucho éxito!

PD: Please note that I used the Rioplatense Spanish; here we don't use "tú" nor "vosotros", but "vos" and "ustedes".

I spoke with Torbyrne about Busuu as well, but unfortunately it doesn't offer Danish as a target language.

Das Europäische Sprachenportfolio

Was ist das ESP?
Das ESP ist ein wertvolles Werkzeug für Mehrsprachler und alle die es noch werden wollen. Es ist kein Lehrbuch, sondern ein ausbaufähiges Werkzeug, welches vom Lernenden selbst gestaltet werden soll.

Welche Funktionen hat das ESP?
Pädagogische Funktion: Es soll die Motivation für das Erlernen neuer Sprachen anregen und das Bewusstsein für die Kultur und die Sprachen Europas erweitern.
Dokumentarische Funktion: Es soll bei der Dokumentation des Lernfortschrittes helfen. Zudem soll es z.B. bei Bewerbungen als "Zusatzqualifikation" eingereicht werden können.

Woraus besteht das ESP?
Mittlerweile gibt es über 100 verschiedene, vom Europäischen Rat zertifizierte ESP-Versionen. Eines haben aber alle ESP gemeinsam: Sie bestehen immer aus einem Sprachenpass, einer Sprachenbiografie und einem Dossier.
Im Sprachenpass findet man Tabellen, in die man seinen Kenntnisstand der Sprachen mit Hilfe des GER in den Bereichen Verstehen (Hören, Lesen), Sprechen (an Gesprächen teilnehmen, zusammenhängend sprechen) und
Schreiben beurteilen und eintragen kann.
Die Sprachbiografie soll Erfahrungen mit verschiedenen Sprachen und Kulturen dokumentieren, um darauf basierend den eigenen Standort zu bestimmen, und weitere Ziele festlegen zu können. Zu diesem Teil gehören
Checklisten und Formulare, um Sprachaufenthalte, Briefkontakte, etc. festzuhalten.
Das Dossier ist quasi ein Archiv, in dem man seine Sprachenkenntnisse anhand von konkreten Beispielen dokumentiert. Dort kann man Arbeiten (Aufsätze, Berichte, Briefe, etc.), Zeitungsartikel, Präsentationen,
Audioaufnahmen, etc. ablegen, die den Lernprozess authentisch reflektieren.

Mehr Informationen gibt es beim Europäischen Rat - Website des ESP.
Und hier ein Link zum ersten, vom Europäischen Rat anerkannten ESP: ESP - Schweiz.
