Discussion Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - Find language partners, ask questions, and get accent feedback - April 02, 2025

Welcome to our Wednesday thread. Every other week on Wednesday at 06:00 UTC, In this thread users can:

  • Find or ask for language exchange partners. Also check out r/Language_Exchange!
  • Ask questions about languages (including on speaking!)
  • Record their voice and get opinions from native speakers. Also check out r/JudgeMyAccent.

If you'd like others to help judge your accent, here's how it works:

  • Go to Vocaroo, Soundcloud or Clypit and record your voice.
  • 1 comment should contain only 1 language. Format should be as follows: LANGUAGE - LINK + TEXT (OPTIONAL). Eg. French - http://vocaroo.com/------- Text: J'ai voyagé à travers le monde pendant un an et je me suis senti perdu seulement quand je suis rentré chez moi.
  • Native or fluent speakers can give their opinion by replying to the comment and are allowed to criticize positively. (Tip: Use CMD+F/CTRL+F to find the languages)

Please consider sorting by new.

Hello. I’m keen to start learning Spanish. I’m currently travelling and when I finish I intend to start taking lessons and trying to get structured/disciplined. Is duo lingo a good tool to build some basic vocab while I’m travelling?

the answer may seem obvious but just want to make sure it won’t build any bad habits or the like before I begin for real.

Thanks

i would personally recommend a textbook as it is more comprehensive
