Spanish

French

German

Japanese

(Hope you find this useful! If you’re studying a totally different language, I recommend searching “[language] instrumental music” or possibly “[language] cafe music”. Happy studying!)

I wish Memrise would let you replay the audio when you review like Duolingo does. I find I can recognize the sounds certain words (aka the ones I struggle woth most) and then sound out the characters to match the Hanguel.

I also really like the idea of the language journal I reblogged, but I don’t think I’m at the point of writing full sentences quite yet. I think I’ll start with the translating a song/poem/etc. and see how that goes. Also gotta get into the habit of reviewing everything I’ve learned so far. Any tips for grasping difficult words would be great.
