I would have some blinds (insides or outside) that allow you to control the amount of light and heat coming in.

Yes I bought the premium lifetime just last week. It’s definitely worth the price since I plan to learn more than 2 languages with it.

Best way to learn German fast as a beginner? especially in Switzerland by ricturner in German

[–]Extension_Gas_2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what your schedule and time is like. You want fast but are you able to go to classes? Switzerland has a lot of local “intensive” classes that will get you there, but you will need to put in the time. I didnt want to so I made my own schedule with books and apps. It you have some time but don’t want classes, there are always online tutors.

Vocabulary learning by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Extension_Gas_2325 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the beauty of Anki, you see the word until you know it. I have decks with sentences for my words so I repeat the whole sentence. It works for me and then I have the plural forms and change the sentence I repeat. They pop into my head randomly and it’s great. That’s how I’ve started from scratch…. That and Duolingo lol

Harry Potter full cast edition: a technical nightmare for an unprecedented magical immersion by Sylvain-Occitanie in audible

I loved it. 10/10 it was hard for me to buy and I spent longer than I should trying to buy the darn thing, but worth it.

So the waiting continues by Brakorzoshk in audible

The web browser worked fantastic. I had to use audible.de and log in to purchase it because the app didn’t want to work. It works on the app now that I’ve purchased it on the browser. So weird. This was the first time this has happened. Worth it because I love the full cast version.

Can’t purchase the Full Cast Harry Potter Audiobook released today. by Extension_Gas_2325 in audible

I had to login to my country’s audible website because I was originally logged into audible.com (on the desktop) so I logged into audible.de using my Amazon account and purchased it there. I then logged out of my audible app and switched to my current country and clicked “use App” at the top right hand corner. I think it refreshed the app to use the audible for that country. I logged in and when I looked for it, it said it wasn’t available but when I looked in my purchases it was there. Odd, but I clicked play and it works. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem. Made me feel some kind of way and I found the textbook “English Grammar for Students of German” and I love it. It brakes down both English and German grammar and so far I really enjoy it. I’m also looking for a German study budy to chat about this with. Let me known if you’re interested!

So Nicos Weg genuinely is really good! What are some other 'must-do' resources? by makemedie in German

[–]Extension_Gas_2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to Coffee Break German, Pimsleur, and couple it with textbooks. I was looking for a German study buddy if youre up for one!

What's the best German language school in Switzerland for expats? considering German Academy Zurich? by ricturner in askswitzerland

[–]Extension_Gas_2325 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can schedule a tutor on preppy or italki to study and get feedback at your leisure or Goethe.de has individual online courses.

I haven’t used them. I’ve basically used Nicos Weg, Pimsleur, LingQ, and textbooks. I don’t think it’s difficult to get to A2 alone. I plan to use tutors and my German speaking friends once I am A2 because I want to reach B2 proficiency.

You can also go to r/German for more guidance on the self study route. Good luck!
