Duolingo
 

anyone else checked it out? not a bad reinforcement method for language learning.

Yeah <--bit of a procrastinator with learning a new language haha but been using that on and off with RS for German and its pretty sweet even on par with RS (which of course costs hundreds of dollars if you aren't a pirate)

couple these two with some shows I found in german dub (link below for a playlist of all Cowboy Bebop in German dub) to see some of the words one learns used in conversation, and with this show you can flip between english dub and German

*edit* it isn't perfect, but if you don't know anyone who speaks any German it helps =)

I've been using it to supplement my study of Spanish. It's a nifty little app :)

doing german at school, i've noticed that it uses popular phrasings and patterns instead of direct formal purely grammatical kind of translations. more of a regular user of the language pattern thing.
