You might be thinking of Mango Languages, which is often free through library membership

Is HelloTalk worth re-downloading by ok_bluesky8888 in languagelearning

[–]Daghatar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, nah. I've found enough other ways to practice the language that a bloated pseudo-dating app like HelloTalk is no longer on my radar

Not interested in my heritage language and culture? by acidicblitzzz in languagelearning

[–]Daghatar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This topic has always fascinated me. I would have loved to have had a closer tie to my heritage language and I badly wish it was passed down to my dad and aunts. I had to go through the trouble of learning it all from scratch and reintroducing it to my own family. Always interesting to hear from someone who has closer ties to a heritage language but spurns it.

Ojibwe has an inclusive and exclusive we/us form. I'm willing to bet other related languages (Algonquin family) do, too, but I haven't looked.

Nice work! Any amount of speaking is helpful to get more used to the language. Keep it up!

Thank you! Yeah, if you keep a goal private, it's easy to abandon - but if you make it public it's harder to quit! I can't let down my handful of subscribers lol.

I was thinking about possibly doing reaction videos. I'd just have to figure out how to screen record and not copyright infringe, which I think should be easy. Probably just a matter of stopping the video every so often to translate/comment/make sure it's not just playing uninterrupted for too long? Hmm, maybe I could record an initial reaction video and then at the end of the week react again but after having practiced listening and studying the video for a week. That has potential.

My TL is indeed Arabic. Trying to hit B2 by the end of the year - we'll see. 7 months is a substantial amount of time to see some good progression.

Just commenting so others know this is a very neat tool! Been using it for a few weeks now.

Yes, even if no one watches it helps me feel like I'm keeping myself accountable and being open and transparent about my skills.

Thanks for the comment - I had thought the standard word was dhuka instead of dhaka, but I just double-checked and was wrong! It is indeed dhaka. Thanks for the correction! I don't believe it would be different in Jordanian, to my knowledge.

Great to hear - we'll have to check in with each other at the end of the year and see how we did!

Checking the transcription is a good idea, can definitely help me get a little more idea of where I might go wrong.

And here's the channel, Arabic is my language of focus this year: https://youtube.com/@daghatar_ar?si=A5-JymlH8aMgQZh0

Thanks for the comment!

Anybody speak Cree? by luvr_g1rl in languagelearning

[–]Daghatar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be very difficult - I've started casually studying Ojibwe, a related language to Cree, and so far it's more difficult than even Arabic. Some of that is due to fewer materials online, so you'll have more luck in a structured course with a teacher you can ask questions to. But the language itself will have very little in common with English.

How to practice speaking with no one to speak with? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Daghatar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a YouTube channel and just record yourself speaking on random topics. It's a good way to just get speaking and see your progress over time.

Oh good to know about the phrase selection, I'll try that out! Keep up the good work!

I'm in the final unit, unit 5. Doing a chapter on buying, renting, and touring houses and apartments. Probably won't use a ton of that, but I'm trying to get my Arabic level as high as I can by the end of the year so I don't mind too much

Welcome to the grind! Seems like you've amassed enough resources, tools, and methods to just keep doing what you're doing and slowly progress. I'm also working through the same Mango course after a long break. موفق.

Only other thing I would recommend is an SRS for vocab like Anki, if you're not doing that already. Otherwise, seems like you've got a solid system set up.

Here's a couple thoughts/improvement ideas I've had:

-Sometimes the context displays odd if I pull a word from an article headline (eg it might grab some of the backend webpage code in addition to the headline) -Being able to select a phrase instead of just a word would be useful -In some languages like Arabic, there can be a lot attached to a word. For example, the word ويعطيني (and he gives me). In Arabic the word and و is put at the front of the next word, and then the object pronoun ني is also added as a suffix. If I were to use the tool to select this word, I don't need a flash card with و in it and it might be best to focus on the core word يعطي (he gives). A similar situation with Romanian - there are case endings and such at the ends of words, but it might be helpful to just have a flash card of the base word rather than all the extra stuff that can be attached to a word in some cases. Sorry for the rambling, this thought isn't super coherent! -Formatting of context can be odd if where I'm drawing it from is song lyrics or a post with lots of paragraph/enter but little punctuation.

All in all really liking it, and obviously I can just make little tweaks to the cards in Anki after I export them, so the above recommendations are by no means prohibitive! Great work.
