Resources thread. Post resources and discuss them.

>BaBaDum - https://babadum.com/

It consists of a handful of simple games to help you learn vocabulary. Currently supports 13 different languages. Nice to play when your mind has gotten overloaded and you just want to do something easy to reinforce your learning.

>FSI - language courses developed by the Foreign Service Institute. These courses were developed by the United States government and are in the public domain.
These are all completely free and come with audio material as well as workbooks.
Found this one on reddit. Haven't really tried but it looks good.

Indeed, very easy games and kind of fun games, alas it doesn't support my target language.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I looked all around the site for a way to contact them about creating translations, but it looks like they don't invite that sort of thing.

that BaBaDum game is really good :3
I've been playing a game called influent that teaches vocabulary in different languages (it was in the humble bundle), but it doesnt have much vocab :/

https://www.antosch-and-lin.com

Word flashcards, example sentences and very short texts in 13 languages. I only use it for Mandarin (which was the first language and is probably the most developed one), I don't know how good it is for the other languages.

you can cheat that game by clicking in the middle of the word

 No.318

>http://www.memrise.com/
It has a bunch of user created courses which are maintained by the community to help you build your vocabulary.
Even though they went full jew and added a premium subscription model it's still possible to access all courses with a free account.

>http://www.duolingo.com/

Similar to Memrise but better.
Unfortunately, it only supports 8 languages currently.

>http://kanjitomo.net

Tool to identify Japanese characters on the screen.
Very helpful to read manga or LNs that don't have furigana.

 No.332

the great part about duolingo is that the number is expanding. And you can contribute if you're a native speaker, so that's pretty neat

 No.336

Anyone here use sharedtalk.com? Notice it here in a vid @ http://youtu.be/1CHtuIejOMY

Yeah I do but I haven't used the text chat yet. Only private messages, I'll do instant messaging sometime too I think. I got 4 messages from different people the first evening I registered because they wanted to learn English or German with me or just help me. Pretty cool
I haven't really mastered my small talk though lel

 No.338

I'm using https://www.saysomethingin.com/ to learn Welsh, it's audio lessons similar to Pimsleur, good for learning to speak but I can't read or write it at all

Oh hey, I worked on the Esperanto translation for that (Influent)!

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I've been using the text chat and the voice chat for quite a while now(I immediately switch to skype because the sound quality is better). Especially the voice chat is full of people who talk to everyone who only speaks rudimentary English.

You won't learn anything through the public chats. Go one to one.

thanks

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! A list of resources, sorted by language, has been compiled and added to the announcements. It's still not complete obviously, but it's a start. I didn't have time to add all the links for Japanese provided in those pastebins, for example (I hope to be able to finish today).

The main limit of this list, and others like it, is that most of the material is intended to be used by speakers of the English language. While it's certainly possible to learn a new language through English, it doesn't make things any easier for the student.

For this reason, I'd now like to encourage you to share any interesting site or book that you know of, written in your native language, preferably with a short description (also in your native language, not in English) of what it is (grammar? exercises? for beginners or advanced students? things like that). The idea is to have a resource hub that includes resources for as many languages as possible, in as many languages as possible. It's quite ambitious, yes, but if enough people want to make it happen, I think it's possible.
