I don't know if there's a resource that has all these listed, if not maybe a wiki page should be made with
them. Otherwise, you may have luck typing in the acronym to the wiki: here However: LL - living language (a language learning series) TY - Teach Yourself (A language course) FSI - Foreign Service Institute (language courses) LR - Listening/Reading (a language learning method) L1-Language 1 L2-Language 2 A1-C2 are levels based on the CEFR (Common European Framework). 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

LL: Living Language; a series of language courses, have a number of generations and
different levels, quite popular among forum members. FSI: originally stands for Foreign Service Institute, now as abbreviation of the series of courses FSI produced some tens years ago; mainly pattern drill-style courses, originally intended for diplomats and the likes, available for free (please do some searching as I forgot the link) or you can purchase the essentially same courses produced by a company called Barron, very popular courses here. L1: First language(s); your native languages or native languages. L2: Second Language(s); those languages you do not think native to you A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2: they are the six levels in the CEFR. Google or wiki it to find out more. (You might be interested in "ILR" as well.) LR: it stands for Listening-Reading, which is a proven study method for some members here. By the way, there is a Forum Glossary in the General Discussion room: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=5640&PN=1 (please remove the space) If you would like to know more about individual courses, I highly recommend using the search engine of the forum. EDIT: The wiki of "learnanylanguage" mentioned by vogue is highly recommended. Also, a series of videos made by a former forum member, Prof. Arguelles, on different lines of products of language courses might be a helpful guide in choosing the right courses for you. Link here: http://foreignlanguage expertise.com/videos.html#fsv The rough explanations above for L1 and L2 are in terms of linguistics. After reading what vogue has stated, s/he(?) is right that the two terms are not rarely used to refer to "teaching language", the one through which you learn, and "target language", the one you learn, respectively.

I agree that a sticky with most of the common acronyms would be quite useful. As for them turning into hyperlinks, this isn't Wikipedia. Acronyms come and go. Maybe that'll work on the wiki that vogue mentioned.

I believe the servers are just old and easily overloaded. 1 person has voted this message useful |
