@PolyglotZone I recently realised how good it is with Chinese Hanzi section in the app. Now I'm actually learning and enjoying duolingo. But as always, that's only a small part of the whole language learning process.

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@kolibabski That's the summary of my ways of having fun! Except I spend only a very little time with dogs and games.

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@MLautmer I voted the wrong one! It has clearly affected me more than 90% of who I am today. But I selected 51-76%. What was I thinking! My full time job, side hassle, my favourite friends, most of the things I watch, read, think, speak, do, everything is Language learning related!

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@MLautmer So many expressions that don't exist in other languages and most words sound so cute.

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@LangLearnGuy When you learn English using your target language, you actually get some ads in your target language. People think learning English in your target language is cheating. But most of the useful things I learned from Duolingo, I learned by learning English using the target language.

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@laidbacklang The main reason is to reduce the screen time

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@LangLearnGuy Definitely! I used to think it's all about understanding techniques, using the right method, experience in language learning and motivation are what matters. But as a language teacher who has taught over 220 students, I have to say, these are not the only factors that matter.

@arcticpolyglots It's a boring channel about teaching Sinhala 😅

@laidbacklang About 7 years ago, I started learning languages, and I didn't know why. I just liked it, and it was just a small side hobby at that time. But now it has changed my whole life and gave me a life that most people dream of.

You don’t have to have someone to speak with to practise your speaking

Speak to yourself in the shower

“But what if I don’t say it right?”

You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll auto-correct when you say something wrong

Provided you’ve been doing lots of listening, of course

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@laidbacklang Adults. They are easy to deal with 😄 and the class is fun when they are talking about their life and plans

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@laidbacklang Totally agree!

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

There is no one way to learn a language

But all of the different methods have one thing in common

The more you expose yourself to the language

The more you'll learn

It's that simple

Me 😂

[Shani_yf @YfShani]

@LangLearnHub I should show these replies when someone asks me why I'm interested in learning languages! I always end up saying "it's difficult to explain"

But here are the answers!
