A guy near my home is flying two American flags in front of his house. The thing is, we're in Canada…

I have found Duolingo much, much less useful for language learning than Language Transfer. The latter actually helps you learn to think in another language rather than memorize things (which is still useful, but not nearly as much).
Short if total immersion, I have found nothing better than LT.
Thanks, I fixed it.
And yes, I agree that he is amazing. One guy teaching courses in Spanish, Italian, Greek, Arabic, French, German, Turkish, and Swahili!
I have found that Language Transfer is a far superior way to learn languages (including Spanish), and it's free (although I make a monthly donation)!
It is available as YouTube videos, SoundCloud MP3s, or on a very simple but effective app.
- Visit the house where Martin Luther lived
- Buy a Perry Rhodan hefte (an SF pulp serial magazine that has been published weekly since 1961) at a newsstand after not reading one for over 40 years
- Eat my first currywurst since I arrived in Germany three days ago
Thanks, I fixed it.
As does peanut butter and bacon.
Coincidentally, I just went on the autobahn yesterday, for the second time in my life. We were driving about 130 but there were plenty people probably going 30 or 40 km faster than us.
Spanish is my sixth language and aside from total immersion, Language Transfer is the best thing I have found.
I read a couple of books to my wife, as well as a limited series of comics period it was wonderfully intimate! Although she tried to read to me, and I just kept falling asleep.
I highly, highly recommend Language Transfer. They have French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Swahili. Also an introduction to understanding music, which is also excellent, using the same teaching techniques, and an introductory course in English for Spanish speakers.
You can use YouTube videos, SoundCloud MP3s (downloadable), or the excellent app.

Just audio. But it is presented in a way that helps you to learn, rather than just remember. If you give it a try, I promise that you will be shocked at how you can retain the knowledge.
It isn't enough on its own, however. You need to reinforce the lessons by speaking to people, reading, and/or TV and movies.
