I made it my NYR this year to learn a second language and while I picked Russian at first I switched to Spanish for a few different reasons. I've been using Duolingo for about 6 months now but have gotten to the point (I'm around A2 if not very early B1 fluency) where I just don't find it very helpful on its own anymore and the new stuff I learn just doesn't stick to my mind as good anymore.

I'd like to start incorporating other resources into my learning (which was the plan from the start) but have no idea where to start. I've incorporated note writing as well as flashcards into my learning as of a couple months ago, as well as trying to hold basic Spanish conversations with other people, but this is only really effective for perfecting what I've already studied.

To anyone who learned Spanish or really any language, do you know of any other resources for learning the language?

Gracias.

Horrible. My heart goes out to everyone who has been killed or injured and their families.

"I'm as left as they come" = I'm a liberal with some socdem views

You cannot vote fascism away lol. This has historically never worked. You have to actually dismantle the system that allows fascism to rise.

Also of course one of the commenters is crying whataboutism.

John Fogerty is unfortunately a self admitted lib but I've always liked this song.

Loser who supports a pedophilic institution is a transphobic piece of shit. What a shocking turn of events.

Similarly I notice a lot of liberals resort to ableism/misogyny/racism in an attempt to belittle their opposition. I think that a lot of liberals just care about upholding an image rather than actually care about the groups they claim to fight for.

Racist geriatric maniac who bombs the middle east vs racist geriatric maniac who bombs the middle east. Neither is better or worse than the other at this point

Avid reader, especially political non-fiction. Interested in reading something about North Korea but am anticipating most books containing exaggerated and unverified claims and just being biased overall.

Was wondering if anyone knew any good, unbiased books on North Korea? If any actually exist?

I want to learn how to speak Russian and have for years now, but have no idea where to begin. I don't think finding an actual tutor to help is really an option and I've used Duolingo in the past but don't really find it too helpful.

Anyone had any experience with learning Russian or even any language online?

People who have to insist that they're left wing usually have the most right wing takes imaginable on anything that isn't LGBT rights
