Memrise.com - This site is making me bilingual and expanding my vocabulary god dammit - General

I am going to start the course on astronomy, my dad is really in to it so this should help me understand what the hell he is talking about when we have the telescopes set up.

Wow this is really cool. Been doing it for the past 30 minutes. Mostly going over stuff I've learned in class already though.

Pretty cool, I hope it also includes grammatics/sentences

this is really good, got me addicted and now i'm just gonna wait for the test,

Finally, I can go from being Tri-lingual to Quadri-lingual :smile:

Haha, some funny pictures for the Spanish one. :v: [img]http://static.memrise.com/uploads/mems/32000120113163622.jpg[/img]

I took 2 years of German in highschool, this could be cool to continue learning it. The basic stuff is really easy though, hopefully there are harder grammar lessons. German vocab is pretty easy anyway.

I didn't think this would work but now I'm having fun learning some Spanish. Thanks OP. v:v:v

Makes me think of the old joke- 3 languages? Trilingual 2 languages? Bilingual 1 language? [sp]American[/sp]

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;34825041]Makes me think of the old joke- 3 languages? Trilingual 2 languages? Bilingual 1 language? [sp]American[/sp][/QUOTE] I speak fluent English and French and know a passable amount of Japanese.

I'm learning hobo symbols now :v:

Fuck yes, time to learn a language!

1 language = monolingual. 2 of the same language = homolingual.

Fixing my horrible spanish and lernen Deutsch!

[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34825158]I speak fluent English and French and know a passable amount of Japanese.[/QUOTE] It's a joke. I'm american, I am also fluent in French and learning spanish.

It's really useful if you're in Latin at school, now. Time to start acing every test for the rest of my life.

I think i'll learn french

lime-ogre that is a good way to remember limoger

All i could think after getting to limoger was 'fuck off shrek'

Time to learn Russian

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;34826193]Time to learn Russian[/QUOTE] Hopefully you have some good resources. I bought an entire textbook on learning Japanese, I'm just using the site to expand my vocabulary so maybe I can actually form coherent sentences.

Hopefully I can expand from bilingual-ish to trilingual. French and Spanish at the same time seems like a good challenge.

Nice, I've wanted to learn swedish for a while now.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;34822874]What happened to Duolingo?[/QUOTE] Its still around. They are in a very exclusive beta.

Gonna be proud to have my nationality be the second language I also learn.

This could be cool. I have a hard time retaining vocabulary for foreign languages despite having a pretty good memory.

From three years of french, I retained all of one years worth. I think its time to learn spanish. (I know some from working fast food. )

by the way this isn't really how language acquisition works. you can definitely use this to practice and to expand vocabulary of languages that you already know somewhat, but you won't learn a new language just from doing this

Really useful to memorize vocabulary and learn an occasional new word, but completely useless for grammatical stuff. I'll probably show it to my German teacher to help out since it's free and has a pretty sleek UI and customizable lists and whatnot. Definitely helps short-term memory. Like people have said, this isn't a free Rosetta Stone. It's just to help you learn some foreign vocabulary. Don't expect anything else from it.

Finally, I have a chance to actually do better in spanish. Thanks for the share.
