    Hey guys,

    i am wondering how everybody is learning their languages or what programs/apps/etc everybody is using to keep practicing?

    For example: i know there is AnkiApp with flash cards (especially for Japanese etc)

    Or i came across a online program/course called Babbel which looks really good.

    But what do people actually find helpful?

    I also follow a few youtube channels to learn/practice basic lines (especially to get used to the pronouncing).

    Any other tipps/ apps or online programs you can recommend?

    Thanks :)

    Duolingo has been extremely helpful to me and I think its probably the top free online system, I've read reviews of it that compare it favourably to rosetta stone and some of the expensive courses. It has a huge range of language courses which are all free. Their App syncs between devices so you can use phone, tablet and PC.

    There's another free online language learning system called Mango Languages that is only available with a library membership. Get a library card and use the number to sign up. You dont have to attend classes at the library or anything its an online course but they require library membership because I believe its financed originally through the US Library system. I havent tried it yet (i'm still about 75% through Duolingo).
