When learning a language, it is important to discover resources on your own. Here are some examples of resources I have used both as a learner and a teacher. But there are many more! Also, make sure you find interesting content on social media, and podcast and streaming platforms. I’ve personally used all of the links here as an instructor and/or learner.

FLASHCARD AND SPACED REPETITION SOFTWARE

They can help you learn vocabulary. Anki will also plan your learning so you don’t forget anything as long as you review regularly. You can make your cards or choose from available decks. Anki is for pros. They both have desktop versions and apps.
