Overview

Hello, I know that most of the people here speak English, and only a few do not, or it is not their first language. I've been learning English for years, but I've been distracted from it for periods of time, and the reasons vary, of course. Now I've truly found my hardworking colleague, and we've started communicating with each other in English only—voice to describe our day and text to correct some of our mistakes. I'm truly happy about that because everyone who told me they wanted to learn just made me stop and wait for them to start together, but they just broke their promise and made me wait for no reason. I don't consider myself to have stopped completely because I'm still learning from YouTube and movies, but not with the same effort as before. Anyone who wants to learn English can share and exchange ideas 😸💙 ^If there are any mistakes, I apologize. I'm using a translator^

I am so happy to find this topic. My household is wanting to move toward the end of the year. They would like to move to Japan. Most in the house are doing really well with studying, learning and writing the language. For some reason I am having the hardest time out of all of us. For writing my hands are a bit of a bother trying to write the small characters. Lets not even start on the pronunciation of the words. My family laughs at me, I know it is in fun and not to be hurtful (but it does hurt me.). I was wondering if anyone might know of any good study aids that might be able to help? Thank you.

Hiyaaa! ✨ I've recently stumbled upon this channel on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@CarlG./videos, and I think it could be perfect for listening practice ✨

Hello! I am Akichan. Did you know you can "rent" Japanese boyfriends, girlfriends, wise older men, etc. online? I am super nerdy so I create slideshows on different topics (holidays, medicine, school, etc.) and study with them. It's been a great resource for me, so I thought I'd throw the idea out there for others!

Ling has some less common languages. Its especially good for Thai. Beelinguapp has news, books, and music at various levels. And this isn't language learning specific but if you like flashcards check out Anki. There are pre-made sets to start you off, some with audio and images to help you learn!

Haha I get for sure lol but if you more people might see it and might be able to help I try to keep this club going and more interest would be welcome

Being patient is not my main skill 😓 especially when I’m forced to have good grades in this language 🫠

Welcome my Spanish is passable I try to use it more but sometimes it just be hard. I spent some time in Costa Rica that’s how I know even a little bet

Lol sometimes you got to keep posting and trying it only takes one spark to really light it up

I was very excited for this post and only has like 3 responses

Welcome to the group we are happy to have happy to have people’ that can help us learn

My name is Andrea. I grew up speaking Spanish Fluently and Italian with one set of grandparents/ half my family. I learned English at 13, and it was quite a journey for me. I would be more than happy to teach others if anyone is interested. I would love to be able to practice, so I don’t lose them. I love ASL it holds a special place in my heart. I had a close friend growing up who could only sign to communicate, thanks to that I recognize quite a bit. It’s been more than 10 years and I’m rusty on a lot of the conversational signs. But I can do the alphabet, several responses (yes, no, more, please, thank you, all done). Thanks for reading my Intro! 🙂

El mas ayuda es mayore

Привет!

Hello everyone, Yo podría ser de ayuda, el español es mi idioma nativo

Bien vinindo el forum

Hola yo soy mexicano y naci en mexico pero vivo en california

Currently leaving japanese it’s difficult

Yes I could see learning all that could be important for a teacher and welcome here one of my main goals this summer will be to see if we can get it a bit more busy in here

This is so exciting! I didn't know this club was here!!! So I set myself with a challenge this year, to become conversationally fluent in Spanish, keep learning American Standard Sign Language and see how many different languages I could learn to say hello in over the summer! 🥰😊 it's going to be the greatest summer ever! Over half my students speak Spanish at home and I would like to be able to reduce my need for an interpreter. I also want to know what's being said so I can better advocate for my students. I usually have 25 - 50% of my classroom on some sort of a special education plan and Sign Language is a great way to teach students to communicate without interrupting the classroom. Plus it teaches them how to be kind to others. I believe inclusion means we recognize our differences and celebrate our uniqueness! We make room for everyone by knocking down obstacles and helping each other succeed. Since we live in a global society, that means I need to be aware of the appropriate behavior in other people's culture before I encounter them. The best way to do that is learn! Then to share what I learn with others.

Hi! I'm not sure if you are still around, but I know some ASL. I can get resources for learning, too. I love learning languages! I have taught deaf and hearing impaired students and students who were mute. We also use sign language (ASL) for teaching children who have behavior challenges to communicate their needs silently without interrupting the whole class.
