Pls help.
I want to find a telenovela and watch with friends, so that’s one thing. If any of you know of any good ones please post em
If you’re into games at all, I just learned about this series of games called Noun Town that I’m really looking forward to trying. It’s a one time lifetime purchase (no subscription) and affordable (US$20). From what I can tell, one of the features is that it puts you in virtual situations like you would encounter in the real world, like ordering at a cafe, taking directions, etc. It has 12 languages, including Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Mexico. I think that games still have a huge potential for use in education that is still untapped, particularly in adult education.
Another resource that I learned about here on Lemmy recently is Language Transfer. It’s a website and apparently free (accepts donations). I haven’t tried it myself yet, but the people recommending it seemed to really like it.
Ahhh that is perfect! Speaking to people really gets in the way for me I get so nervous. I know that’s normal but if I could get practice in that way I’ll be so golden. Ty!
Cool! Yes, if nothing else, I think that the game could be a big help even if just as a supplement to other learning. I presume you’re talking about the game and not the website. :) If you do try it, please let us know what you think of it.
Really recommend downloading some ebooks and using Readlang! Also making your own Anki
Awesome thank you! Ive never tried flashcards, do you think they’re better than using something like Duolingo?
I think so! You can make your own cards and it’s less gamified, very customisable too
Also I really recommend this discord server, it’s fantastic
Radio Ambulante is a p good podcast, very NPR-style with stories from all over Latam. Not a lot of slang or fast speaking bits, and every episode is transcribed and timestamped to help English speakers use it to learn Spanish.
I’ve watched Pasión de Gavilanes (CW for SA and removed, suicide, emotional and physical abuse, brutality, sexism) a while back and enjoyed it a lot, though I wouldn’t recommend the second season from 2022.
