  • you should check out the "living language" series. I like it very much.

  • @CheeseBubbles I tried it and did not like it.

  • Firstly, love LingQ! Any plans for eventually creating a Bokmål Norwegian one in future?

    I largely agree with everything you say but I think the Michel Thomas stuff is quite exceptional at teaching a language's structure in a very different and memorable way.

    Afterwards you are encouraged to keep reading and listening, and you strengthen what you've learned.

    I think you would be truly surprised if you checked MT stuff out sometime. My father and I certainly were.

    Keep up the great work!

  • I do not say that others do not like Michel Thomas. Obviously many do. I do not like to listen to English when I learn languages, because I listen over and over.

    Re Norwegian we would love to add many more languages but we have a few things to do first.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • Will Arabic be available soon?

  • We have our hands full right now with other issues. Cannot say when.

  • @lingosteve I agree with you Steve, the living language series is not good

  • I think assimil is great since you can learn a lot of cultural aspect of the language and I don't particulary like vocabulary lists.

  • That's a very interesting approach.

    It's incredible to see how passionate you are about it and I deeply respect that.

    Although I use Michel Thomas as a backbone for my language studies. Besides that is nice to see that you know how you can grasp the language better in a certain way that works for you.

  • Ah righty, fair enough! Not all methods will suit everyone I suppose and no doubt your way works!

    I'm actually following a similar method to what you do with my Norwegian, I read and listen to native Norwegian media and pick new sentences and words to learn and keep building on that. Thankfully, being half Norwegian and having visited Norway a lot, I am familiar with the structure which helps.

    I'd be happy to help contribute material whenever Norwegian LingQ appears.

    Thanks a lot.
