Whats the best language learning app to use in 2024?

Post Reply New Topic

Need recommendations for best language learning app to learn Spanish, Italian, and German. Theres so many that I don't know which is better to start with.

TBH, language apps are greatly overrated. But, if you are going to use one, I think that Fluent Forever is probably the one to get. It has a real focus on connecting the vocab to the actual thing the word refers to and it has a pretty decent speech trainer. There is also a book where you can just do all the stuff that the app does on your own for pretty much nothing.

As a language professional, what I tend to do is basically handle it the same way that I'd handle masking. I get a phrase book, one with audio recordings, and I memorize the ones that communicate things that I want to communicate. I'll get the same books that they target at elementary school children and I'll work my way through creating basic sentence frames with just the grammatical structures and drill, drill, drill putting other words into them to see how they work out.

Really,t he biggest issue that I've always had is just shyness when it comes to language exchanges.

Even better than Duolingo, Babbel, Mango, or others?

My son started Duolingo on a daily regimen after Christmas.
He's up several levels (forget the names of the levels) and hopes to be totally fluent this summer.

I actually deleted my Duolingo account a year ago. Maybe gonna give it another try one day. Does he love it?

You mean like the Muzzy language learning books and audio recordings?
