I wondering what people's opinions on language learning methods were generally (my mother is a linguist)? And also if people hard heard of Duolingo. It got thrown at me during my A2 year and I recently looked back at it.
It seems like a pretty good idea to me and it's got the repetition required for language learning. I'm currently using it to try to fix up my german skills but I'm not sure how good it would be with respect to learning a new language from scratch. It's limited to only a few languages at the moment and the format can be slightly irritating at times but I can definitely see it improving.
Thoughts and opinions? Cries of hatred? Hurls of assorted rotting food items?
Also, what languages do people speak?
