Announcing a New Project

Picture by Playingwithbrushes

Today, I would like to introduce to you a project I’ve been working on for the last couple weeks.

I’m adding a Language Resources section to Baby-Steps to Fluency. This section will have the most commonly learned languages (to start with) and the most useful resources I’ve found for these languages (mostly online resources, but print and other offline materials as well).

Now, I need your help.

Though some languages are naturally going to be on the website (such as Spanish and French), I need to know what languages you would like to see featured.

Also, are there any resources you think are useful for said languages?

Please, leave a comment below and let me know what you think, or if there are any languages that you would like to see.

One thing that I'd really like to see (my languages are German and Spanish) are some resources for intermediate people trying to become truly fluent. I see beginner resources a lot. DeutschLern.net is fairly useful for that on the German end of things, I'd love to know about anything similar for Spanish.

I know what you mean, I've definitely find it easy to find basic resources but harder to find intermediate/advanced resources. I'll put that on the list.

Perhaps you should add Dutch resources? Since you're a native speaker, I'm sure you'd know which resources are most helpful for beginners. I study German and French and I've found tons of online resources, but it would be nice to see a list of the ones you think are most useful. Good luck with this!

my site has a pretty good intermediate/advanced German grammar section:

There's stuff on there for Spanish aswell but not so advanced.

Anki (Spaced Repitition Flashcard program)

ajatt.com (language learning advice and personal development. great blog)

RhinoSpike (http://rhinospike.com): Get any foreign language text read aloud for you by a native. Then d/l the mp3s and load them onto your mp3 player or stick them onto your anki flashcards.

Great idea.

Don't know if you'll add Japanese to the list, but if you do japanesepod101.com is a very good resource.

Hi! My blog, Bringing up Baby Bilingual, has a decent collection of resources in French for children and adults, plus a few in English as well.

Everything I've been using to learn Hindi is listed here (and there's a lot!):

I second looking for the more advanced resources, that really is a problem. You can learn all over the place how to say “hello, how are you?” but it's hard to get beyond that.

How about resources for learning English?

I’ve been compiling resources for learning English and Spanish here:

Aside from that, I’d be interested in seeing resources beyond germanic and romance languages. How about Chinese or Arabic?
