>What language are you learning?
>Share language learning experiences!
>Help people who want to learn a new language!
>Find people to train your language with!

Check the first few replies ITT for plenty of language resources as well as some nice image guides. /lang/ is currently short on those image guides, so if you can pitch in to help create one for a given language, don't hesitate to do so!

Sometimes I wish I was a NEET so I could learn language all day. I wonder if there is a diminishing return though, like if you go over a certain amount of hours where it starts to not be as productive.

[Jackson Bailey]

Made myself a cafetiere of coffee so I can do some late studying.
Reckon I'll start with my flashcards then go into some grammar exercises.

[Gabriel Rodriguez]

Yes. But at least the ebook would be only 40 euros :^)

Probably. Add on, intensive language studies also vary the content throughout a day. So you wouldn't do 8 hours of grammar, but you'd do some grammar, some vocab, listenin exercises, writing exercises, other stuff I guess.

[Joshua Garcia]

yeah I'm a neet and I just spend all my time on Sup Forums and wanking

[Leo Adams]

Why don't you do like 8 hours of intensive language study and model it after something like said?
