I live in Spanish. Ha, yeah right. I like Spanish. A lot.
I am learning Spanish first with Duolingo and now with a gaggle of other applications. One of them, LingQ, believes in immersion. So it does it. You look up words that you don’t know, it marks it yellow (as a link) and works it into your quizzes later on. The repetition is the key. That spaced repetition is the key. And in truth, it is part of any language learning application I have seen. At first, it is very tough. I am also learning Esperanto of which I know nothing. The only words I “knew” were la, estas, and mi. All kinda like Spanish. But wow I have a bunch of words that I have been exposed to and they will be hammering along on them until I know them. But, BUT, this is the key, I will be reading complete paragraphs so I have a word, or a phrase, in context. That is pretty nice. But boy, the first entries into Esperanto, after a couple weeks in Duolingo were exhausting.
Onward, to much more learning. Now to find people to talk with.
