bakurapika:z-co:Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.Get started: Everything listed below is FREE!

That’s all I have right now. I’ll try to search for more and will keep updating this list! If you have a request for a specific language, just send me an ask. Have fun and good luck! My sister just got me started on Memrise for Japanese a few days ago and wow, it’s amazing. It’s not just flashcards but a combination of audio+visual+writing and uses user-submitted, ranked-by-vote mnemonic devices whenever possible. Plus, the way it keeps track of your progress is like a game, giving you points for doing well and letting you compete with other people. :) And you get a bunch of extra points for reviewing old material at set intervals to make sure it sticks in your long term memory! Not to mention it has a very cute design, having each character/word/phrase be a ‘plant’ you have to keep ‘watered.’ -- source link
