A student collegue suggested to sharpen my English skills(since Internet ruined my glorious English skills) and mentioned the online course Duolingo:

http://duolingo.com/

It's a fun open source language learning device helping you training vocabularies and learning grammar directely. I reached level 7 at mastering German (yay!) and I get much better with my Italian that way. Trying out French soon.

Is anyone learning with it too? I would be happy to join with some learners and competate with them.

Too bad it doesn't support Russian, Hebrew, Islandic or Finnish. Those are the language I REALLY want to learn. Also, it lacks of English courses.

Why do you have to choose a language to learn on signing up? Does that mean you can only learn one, or is that just for statistics and you can change it all the time, once you're registered?

Umm, I see English listed right after Spanish and before French on their list of courses.

I'll probably make an account just to see if it's any good.

Yeah, but not English for German speakers, but for Spanish and Italian speakers.

I like this. Thanks, Tantrix. Maybe with some practice I'll be able to communicate more easily with my German friends.

Yeah, that's why I am using memrise paralelly:
www.memrise.com/

This is also a good site, but I only use the courses which look reliable.

"Icelandic".

But thanks for the link, I'll refresh my French skills there and maybe finally make my Spanish passable.

I've been meaning to learn japanese too bad it doesn't have that, but I it'd help me with spanish. It's one of those languages that I've always felt "Yeah, I get what they're saying" but never bothered to learn it for real.

Since they have all the Witcher books translated I thought I'd just sit with them and a dictionary until it made sense to me, but this is probably more effective.

Well, we have to wait for more, I guess they just try to pull in all "neccessary" European languages you'd need for university, business, and travels
