It is with great displeasure that I'll inform you that watching Reality TV in your target language will increase your comprehension abilities by A LOT.
If you can understand a drunk woman with a strong accent, crying because her crush served orange juice to another woman, using every slang word known to mankind, you will understand basic conversations with ease.
If you cannot stomach Reality TV (which is understandable) I'll recommend watching youtubers doing commentary videos on Reality TV shows/episodes. I find this way of consuming Reality TV less brain-frying.
And you could argue that watching movies / TV show is sufficient, but you need to remember that the way actors speak isn't 100% natural : the speed, enunciation, choice of words will not be a proper representation of how people speak in real life, while reality TV on the other hand...(I'm not saying everyone speaks like this). But, especially if your goal is to be able to speak casually with your foreign friends, it will help you a lot ! (I guess if your goal is to read classical literature in your target language, don't bother watching Reality TV)
Good news ! If you're learning Mandarin, there are a looooot of Reality shows that are actually cute and not ...vulgar ? And a lot of them can be found on youtube with English sub !
In German, I watch Mirellativegal on youtube.
Anyway, don't ask me for recommendation for French Reality TV, I looked for it to give you some examples and I feel like I've lost brain cells during the few minutes I looked for it.
If you guys have recommendations for cool Reality-shows in any languages don't hesitate to share ! I'm currently looking for some Spanish ones (preferably Mexican ones)

Itās honestly wild how much of learning a language feels like actively becoming worse at everything. Yeah I used to be able to āspeakā and sound fluent (had memorized basic phrases and grammatical structures) but now that I can actually speak I am cobbling together sentences out of a baffling array of tenses and using English words to plaster over the gaps and saying āuhhhā every third word. This means itās working :)
Now that Iām at the upper A2/lower B1 level for Italian, I figured Iād compile a quick list of where Iāve found the best stuff to read and listen to.
E-Books and Audiobooks
Kobo Rakuten Italia ā where I buy my ebooks. You can read them online, in the app, or download them and [redacted] to export them elsewhere. Has a monthly unlimited subscription that functions like a combo Kindle/Audible subscription.
Storytel ā monthly subscription for unlimited access to audiobooks.
YouTube
Learn Italian With Lucrezia ā truly the savior of anyone learning Italian. My favorite videos are her Q&As, vlogs, and ān basic phrases you need to know.ā I donāt get much out of her grammar explainer videos but thatās because of who I am as a person.
NovaLectio ā commentary style mini documentaries. I export them to LingQ to read before watching and it helps me parse whatās going on. Also, they upload some videos dubbed in English so you can watch both.
Vogue Italia ā celebrity interviews and fashion content. About 50/50 Italian and English but obviously high production value.
ArtandtheCities ā criminally underrated channel imo. 10-15 minute art history/industry videos by an art historian. Super interesting, sheās easy to understand, and has captions.
Chef Max Mariola ā utter chaos but fun. A Roman chef cooking various dishes, sometimes with a guest. Gives very āyour uncle is hosting Thanksgiving and forgot until yesterdayā vibes but in the best way.
TV/Movies/Documentaries
RaiPlay (free!) ā Italian version of PBS. Lots of documentaries and some kind of goofy soap operas/narrative shows. You can also watch live TV.
Podcasts and Radio
RaiPlay Sound ā basically NPR. Also free! You can find podcasts, live radio stations, audiobooks, and even audio descriptions of movies and TV shows.
Articles
Formula 1 Italia ā Formula 1 news. Iām a big Ferrari fan but they cover a lot of news/current events (as long as they can connect it to a driver). The writing is short and to the point so itās easy to parse for beginners. And honestly the drama is better than a lot of TV shows.
Stile Arte ā long, more complex articles about art and archaeology. Cannot recommend it enough if you have an interest in any of those things. There are some straightforward history articles at the B1/B2 level, and also some more creative essays that push C1.
Corriere della Sera ā daily news site. I started reading the news only in Italian to keep me from doom scrolling because America is terrifying. This is just the site I have ended up using a lot. Mostly because itās easy to navigate and they have a ton of content.
Any recommendations for a person trying to learn Greek?
Yes, definitely! I also wrote a post on learning Modern Greek online.
I am not sure what your native language is or if you know any other languages. I studied German before Greek, and so I found Greek grammar very easy in comparison.
To start with, it's slightly more complex than Spanish for English native speakers since it uses a case system (changing noun, adjective, and article endings). But I found the patterns fairly regular and easy to remember! So it is not stressful at all. And since many words are similar between English and Greek, you will find it easy to pick up vocabulary.
For learning, this was what I did:
A1/A2
Timeframe: 9-12 Months, Depending on how fast you go
Tools:
Duolingo: 5-6 lessons/1 crown a day, or 30 minutes
Rosetta Stone: 3 lessons a day, or 30 minutes
Language Transfer Greek: 1-2 lessons a day, 10-20 minutes
LingQ: Free reading, when chilling out
When you finish Duolingo and Rosetta Stone materials, watch Eisai To Tairi Mou on Youtube. The wonderful George has subbed the whole series in English.
For textbooks, I used Take Off In Greek. I did 1 lesson a week after completing Duolingo/Rosetta/etc. This takes about 3 months. There is an audio CD, which you may need to buy separately. I'm not sure.
I also started tutoring while working on the textbook. I meet with Georgia on Italki, who is amazing.
B1/B2
I'm still working on this. š
Colloquial Greek is a good textbook here. It's very fast, though. Lots of vocabulary. Routledge also has a Modern Greek Reader, which is advanced but quite good.
But if you want in-depth resources, look at "publications" from Omilo.
Lydia is a good review of A1/A2, all dialogues. They also have workbooks on verbs, Greek music, podcasts, etc. Their B1/B2 book is Fiyame, and it's all in Greek.
At this point, I would work through either Colloquial or Fiyame while working with a tutor 1-2x a month or more.
There is also a Greek Mastodon server - https://kafeneio.social/explore
I am not on this server, but I follow and interact with many people on it. I also use Greek as my default language. š
University of Athens
I want to point out that there is an affordable learning course from the University of Athens. It is an online course. They have multiple language courses, but they have a good deal.
Their basic level course is 150 EURO, but you can get it for less. If you buy one of their culture courses, many of which are 100/120 EURO, you can get the Greek course free. The culture courses are taught in English.
I hope this is all helpful! I find Modern Greek rather fun and easy to digest. So far, the grammar is not very difficult. And many of the A1/A2 resources are free or low-cost. Rosetta Stone can be bought for $167, I think, and be used for multiple languages.

All told, there are more endangered languages in and around New York City than have ever existed anywhere else, says Perlin, who has spent 11 years trying to document them. And because most of the worldās languages are on a path to disappear within the next century, there will likely never be this many in any single place again.
[...]Since their project began, Perlin and Kaufman have located speakers of more than 700 languages. Of those languages, at least 150 are listed as under significant threat in at least one of three major databases for the field. Perlin and Kaufman consider that figure to be conservative, and Perlin estimates that more than half of the languages they documented may be endangered.
[...] A languageās endangerment is not simply a function of its size but also a measure of its relationship to the societies around it. Sheer numbers āhave always mattered less than intergenerational transmission,ā Perlin writes in āLanguage City.ā Until recently, in many regions of the world, dozens of languages lived side by side, each with no more than a few thousand speakers. Gurr-goni, an Aboriginal Australian language, had long been stable with 70. A language survives, Perlin writes, by sharing life with those who speak it: āOnly in the face of intense political, economic, religious or social pressures do people stop passing on their mother tongues to children.ā
[...]Perlin studies languages for what they communicate both explicitly and indirectly. A languageās lexicon is not ājust one word after another,ā he writes in āLanguage City,ā but a representation of the enduring preoccupations of a culture. Its rules of grammar are held together by invisible selections of what will be conveyed and what will be overlooked. It ārequires speakers to mark out certain parts of reality and not others, however unconsciously.ā
[...]Still, Perlin and Kaufman are keenly aware that the corpus they are building ā word by word and sometimes syllable by syllable ā might someday turn out to be a kind of fossil record.
Outside of the office, Gurung mostly speaks Seke in voice notes to elders overseas or to tell her mother a secret she doesnāt want her sister to hear. On her first trip to Nepal with E.L.A., she ended every interview with the same question: āDo you think our language will survive?ā

hi! i hope you don't mind me jumping onto this post, but there's a great deal of resources for learning arabic!
this masterpost by @rosepaige is a great starter post, with a ton of linked resources to websites, apps, etc, etc. i have yet to check any of them out, but the post is very comprehensive, and i think would be a good place to start finding out what works for you.
another masterpost, this one by @wonderful-language-sounds, geared towards beginners. it has text recommendations, websites, apps, podcasts, and more.
the busuu arabic course, if you have busuu, is, in my opinion, pretty decent. it takes you through all the letters, and explains the way they appear in initial, medial, final, and isolated formsāi grew up reading arabic, as a muslim, so i didn't really need this, but i know it's one of the hardest things for people who aren't familiar with the script, because letters appear in so many different forms. the course also explains diacritics (arabic doesn't actually have stand-alone vowels; they're indicated above or below the character, along with things like stops and pauses). the one hard point to busuu in my opinion is that there's a lot of vocab thrown at you very early on, so unless you take a lot of notes, it can be hard to get through lessons as you go along.
if you want reading materials, there's read play learn! they have reading materials designed along the comprehensible input method, and go from novice to advanced.
if you're interested in listening, i've heard good things about language transferāthey only have an intro arabic course, but it's all taught through audio.
this post by @h0neytalk has a bunch of tips for practicing your writing! writing in arabic script is a pretty challenging task if you don't have any familiarity, both because it's written and read right to left, and because of the rules for how letters appear in different places in a word. practice makes perfect!
these are just the highlights i can think ofāi have more posts on my blog under the arabic tag, which you can browse here! good luck, i hope you enjoy your journey!
Itās definitely listed several times over on the linked sources (and around the internet) but I really canāt recommend Madinah Arabic enough! Itās one of those āI canāt believe this is freeā type things.
Iāve been using the above apps for a while now and I couldnāt find a ton of somewhat easy to understand comparisons/explanations of how to use these various cult favorites. I figured I would make one if anyone is wondering where to start or making a departure from Duolingo.
Standard langblr disclaimer: I am ultimately just a person on the internet, Iām not an expert in language learning or a world renowned polyglot. Iām not even an expert in any of these apps/programs. These are all just thoughts and opinions I have about the value of each app to myself as an average consumer trying to learn a language and intended to help other people decide where to spend their time.
Anki
Anki is an open source spaced repetition flashcard program. It has an incredibly loyal fan base of med students and people who just want to learn things. This is also the one I have the least experience with so I recommend diving into forums and other blogs who go in depth on all the ways you can use this program. The web version is completely free and there is an official paid mobile app. There are also unofficial paid apps, this is the source of great drama and discourse and Iām not touching that here. Spaced repetition essentially means that the program will present you with cards at intervals designed to maximize your retention. When you flip over a card, you have four options that boil down to: fail, hard, good, easy. This is how the program determines what to show you and when.
Key Features:
The main draw is obviously the spaced repetition system. Itās much easier and more effective than sorting manually.
Because itās open source, there is a way to customize the settings and cards to do basically whatever you want. There are also tons of premade decks to import and either use as-is or use as a base.
The online web version is completely free.
You can add really any media type to the cards. You can add sound clips of pronunciations, images, even drawings and diagrams.
Having the four options is particularly useful for the nuances of learning a language. For example, for general vocabulary decks Iāll assign one āpointā to general meaning, tense/part of speech, and pronunciation. Getting the general meaning but not the other two means I select āhardā when I flip the card.
Best uses:
Vocab or learning a new alphabet. Specifically for drilling any of those āslipperyā words. I donāt know if this happens to anyone else, but there are some vocab words that just refuse to stick with me. Iāve found the Anki SRS does help pin them down.
Potential downsides:
While there are decks to import, there could always be errors that you wonāt catch just seeing single vocab words with no context.
The available customization is labor intensive.
The UI for the official app and web version isnāt super slick and intuitive.
Even the best flashcards are ultimately just flashcards and have limits to their usefulness.
Mango
Mango is similar to Babbel or other programs that focus on speaking (and doing so quickly). I much prefer Mango to Babbel or any other similar app and find that it does what it says it will. Languages are split into units. Each unit has chapters and each chapter has lessons. A lesson will start with an optional pre quiz and a brief recording of a conversation that you will be able to follow by the end of the lesson. Each lesson concludes with a listening and reading quiz. It also utilizes spaced repetition and gives you daily flashcards to review.
You learn based on phrases rather than individual words. A long sentence will be presented in its entirety. The lesson will then go through each word individually before combining them into phrases and, finally, the full sentence from the start. Then you will learn vocabulary needed for variations. The activities are fairly standard for a language app: speaking, listening, multiple choice. You can also turn off the interactive feature and have the lesson run as a āspeak and repeatā style podcast. It tracks the hours youāve spent learning a language and there is an activity log, but no in depth stats.
Key features:
It is focused on speaking immediately.
Has a ton of languages and several dialects for those languages.
Focuses on phrases and patterns that are most useful if traveling or having brief, friendly interactions.
Presents information in a digestible way and isnāt overwhelming.
Includes culture and grammar notes.
$12.99 a month but most public libraries and schools give you free access. You can also set up a household account for multiple people and split the cost with friends/family.
The first lesson of any language is free, and some rare and indigenous languages are completely free to access.
Audio is native speakers. When you record yourself, your vocal wave pattern appears that you can compare with the native speaker.
Best uses:
If you are traveling soon and want to navigate basic, friendly interactions, this will get you there quick. Within 1-3 months easily, depending on the language and how often you practice.
I also recommend this as a starting place when you are totally new to a language or to learning a language in general. The structure is excellent for getting a feel for things.
This is also great if you studied a language previously and need to refresh your memory or get back into it.
Potential downsides:
The ārecord yourselfā feature is fairly buggy and often freezes up. It can also be annoying to try and match the timing of the native speaker, but you donāt have to record audio to progress past those lesson points so it isnāt too much of an inconvenience.
It isnāt meant for total fluency. As stated, the lessons (at least that I have done) are focused on speaking while traveling and making small talk. Some of the early lessons teach you to say āsorry, I donāt speak [x]ā. Which is very useful if going abroad soon, but less so if you would rather just be able to speak that language.
The regimented nature can make it feel slow/too easy if you are also using other methods.
The review flashcards only have a binary āyes/noā option which feels annoying for longer phrases or after using Anki-style cards.
With any course like this, you arenāt going to have much choice in the vocab you learn or prioritizing topics.
LingQ
I am honestly surprised I donāt see more about this. I think they have been making a bunch of updates recently so maybe the version Iām using is miles above previous ones, but it is shockingly powerful. Itās also the hardest to explain (which may be why I donāt see much written about it and why this is going to be a long section.) LingQ (pronounced ālinkā) operates on a hybrid comprehensible/massive input model. While Anki prioritizes memorization and Mango priorities speaking, LingQ focuses on comprehension and listening. LingQ is comprised of courses which are made up of lessons. There are pre-built courses made by LingQ but the real goal is to make your own (more on that later).
Each lesson within a course has an audio recording and a written transcript. Words you havenāt seen before are highlighted blue (when you start, thatās every word). You click the word to see the definition and assign it one of 5 statuses: ignore, new, recognized, familiar, learned, or known. āIgnoreā is used for things like names or borrowed words, they wonāt be counted in your stats. āKnownā is for words you knew before seeing them. You likely wonāt have any of these if youāre starting a new language with no prior experience. Levels 1-3 highlight the word yellow and it becomes a LingQ. You can create a LingQq using as many words as you want. You can manually change the status of a word when you see it. You can also do various review activities similar to Mango, and if you get a word right twice in a row it will automatically bump up a level. You can always adjust it back down if needed. LingQ is very focused on the value of listening to a language. You can add lessons to playlists and listen to them like a podcast.
My personal favorite part of LingQ is the ability to import lessons. Especially YouTube videos. The site has a browser extension that will import any content in your target language into a lesson as an embedded item. You can then read/listen to/watch that content right in the app and get ācreditā for it. LingQās statistics are some of the coolest/most motivating Iāve seen. You get coins for completing tasks but those are really just to see a number get bigger. It also tracks the words youāve read, how many words you know, the hours listened, and speaking/writing if you utilize their tutor marketplace or writing forum.
The free trial is very limited but itās enough to poke around and get a feel for things before signing up, not necessarily to learn anything substantial. The monthly membership is $12.95 and thereās a $199 lifetime option as well. I definitely recommend spending some time playing around at the free level and then upping to monthly if you like it.
Key features:
The ability to import lessons. It will also create a simplified version of shorter content. This is an AI generated summary of whatever youāve imported. I use this for videos where natural speaking cadence can make it hard to parse things sometimes. Itās easier/more productive if I know generally whatās going on.
The creation of LingQs. I just think itās a really cool and useful way to approach comprehensible input. You can visually see the yellow fading as you understand more and more of a lesson.
You can export LingQs to Anki (theoretically). Iāve never done this myself and Iāve seen some forum posts saying it doesnāt work super well all the time but it is a built in feature.
In-depth stats tracking and the ability to consume all the content easily in app. The stats would be annoying if it wasnāt literally easier to watch a video via LingQ than on YouTube.
Community features. There are community challenges (like Duolingo) but also a forum to submit writing that will be corrected by native speakers and a marketplace of tutors to easily sign up for speaking lessons. The forum is free and volunteer based, but scrolling through I didnāt see anyone who didnāt have at least one reply. The tutors are paid at an hourly rate and you can also pay by the word to have them correct written work.
Super flexible. There really isnāt any one right way to use this app so you can structure it however you like and set your own goals/metrics.
Playlists and focus on listening. It really does help to constantly be immersed in what a language sounds like, and being able to read and listen to the same thing has been so nice.
Actually decently helpful emails and not just spam.
Best for:
Hardcore language learners. The app/site provides some guidance on how to get started and the basic idea, but youāll need to play around with it and spend some time reading forum posts or the emails they send to find what works for you.
Getting to higher levels of fluency after maxing out other apps/self study methods.
People looking to spend a lot of time on language learning because they enjoy it. This isnāt snarky, but thereās a difference between wanting or needing to learn Spanish to communicate at work or on vacation and just really enjoying learning languages. This is an app for language nerds.
Potential downsides:
Very overwhelming. They technically say you can jump right in with 0 knowledge of a language and be good to go, but I think it would be hard to make a lot of progress unless youāve learned other languages before. If youāre looking to learn a new language for the first time, I recommend starting with Mango to get your bearings.
Doesnāt teach new alphabets. This isnāt a huge issue for Mango since itās speaking focused, but I wouldnāt jump into Arabic or Russian on LingQ without spending some time learning the alphabet with other methods.
User generated definitions. This is a double edged sword. The definitions being linked to sites like Globse can lead to wrong definitions, but because youāre seeing things in context itās easier to catch. And looking into what a phrase means is a great way to learn if you are really into languages.
The import feature isnāt 100% perfect when it comes to videos. It will only create a transcript when the video has captions enabled or a transcript provided, otherwise it just shows up as an audio file. It will also sometimes randomly just not be able to import a video which can be annoying, but in the grand scheme of things these are very minor annoyances.
Time commitment. The method doesnāt require a ton of actively sitting down and reviewing vocab or reading new words, but it does assume that youāll swap out listening to music or podcasts while going about your day with listening to content in your target language. This is all well and good unless you really enjoy listening to specific content while doing tasks or need help not getting distracted. Itās going to be a lot of incomprehensible noise for a while before you can parse it. This might not be a downside as much as something to keep in mind when considering how effective itās going to be for you.
Not as active of a community. Maybe itās just for my particular languages, but there definitely arenāt a ton of people actively doing things like challenges. This really doesnāt matter much to me but it could be a bummer if youāre looking for that.
tl;dr just tell me how to learn things
If you need to learn a new alphabet, start with that. Otherwise, Mango to get your bearings, Anki to add to your vocab as you get bored with Mango, and LingQ to realistically get āfluentā. Then start writing and speaking either using tutors or people you know or local language groups.

Hey if you're someone with a speech impediment and want to learn another language but feel discouraged by not being able to pronounce it perfectly, Don't.
Allow yourself to learn another language. Even if you can't speak it fluently or perfectly, allow yourself to learn it.
You're allowed to not be fluent. You're allowed to have a speech impediment in multiple languages.
I was practicing writing Arabic on the plane without wifi because I am a very nervous flyer and it kept my brain busy. And having to write without being able to check my work or go beyond my 6 pages of vocab lists was honestly incredible. New favorite way to spend time with my fav language. I love love love my Arabic professor and she was wonderful but the general structure of classes with grades (and my desire to get 112% on all things at all times because I was a gremlin applying to law school) made me obsess over every little thing and this was a good way to snap out of it.
