there's already another thread with 37 posts. what the heck are you doing

Japanese. Plan to move onto Mandarin or Korean after that.
Method: Immersion. Read. Sentence Mining. Games in Japanese. Not a weeb so i don't watch anime.
Basically just Ajatt.
Been at it for 4 months and can read website and such with use of a dictionary quite comfortably. Grammar isn't a problem, just vocabulary.
The issue: Image boards and other very slangy things are a nightmare and i can barely follow them. This will come with time.

This is pretty nice, I would add the radio station RFI, which is available on the internet.

I'd back this up by saying: Do everything in French.
Want to play a game? Play it in French.
Use your smartphone? Switch the language to French.
Want to read about the news? Read it in French.
Want to listen to music? Listen to French music.

Is there something similar to this but for Swedish?
Landon Bell
Anyone has a good ressource to become familiar with traditionnal chinese caracters ? I'm getting to a point where I think I should know a lot more of them.
So far I'm just using pleco to check for the traditionnal spelling but it's such a bore, also I can't be arsed learning again the caracters I know. I'm trying to learn the individual keys, but I find that counter intuitive, I don't know why ... should I just soldier on or is there some magical app that could help me ?

I don't have it, but I've seen it before. Check the archives
Isaac Walker
Same principle just apply it to Swedish.
Get a beginner book, sentence mine all the sentences in the book. Read Swedish texts and listen to Swedish all the time.
Sentence mine native material and other things that you find. Continue until you naturally produce output like you did in your native language.

I used RTK. Very effective method that can be used for Hanzi as well.
Remember: Characters aren't hard. It just takes time to get used to.
Isaiah Garcia
Currently learning English. Actually I haven't tried to study it hard, just watching videos in English and browsing internets in this language. Also I'd like to learn French. t. a native Russian and Vepsan speaker
Daniel Sullivan
Exactly. Just go with the flow and immerse in the language. It's really straight forward.
It's how you learned your own language.
Juan Howard
Gonna move to an English speaking country soon. However I'm not good at grammar and my vocabulary is poor, so it'd be better to go to a language school in that county to master my skills.
Brandon Nguyen
Language Schools are rubbish.
Continue doing what you're doing. Learn grammar through reading English material.
Oliver Robinson

Jason Brooks
I also need more face to face contacts with natives.
James King
You have the internet, and you have English websites.
That is enough exposure. Listen to English as much as you can, read English as much as you can. That exposure will beat trying to speak.
After a long period of exposure with English, output (speaking) will come naturally.
