Hey everyone.

I'm creating this thread to get some help, if possible.

So I'm in a language degree, but unfortunatly it doesn't cover all the important ones.

So I wanted to ask if anyone here could teach me or give me websites/tips for it? I've tried many apps and books, but unfortunatly I kinda need to practice the language with someone :| , it's why this thread.

The languages I'm looking for right now are mainly french (I'm begginer level) and mandarim ( completly new).

If you have any like good books on vocabulary, good apps to talk to people, or if you even want a language exchange friend (I can teach you some too!) please feel free to say!

Hi I am currently studyig Spanish for my bachelor's. There's this really cool and interactive website called Mango Langauges. Also studying abroad was very helpful!! Not only did I practice Spanish but I was also immersed into the culture.

Why are you scared? I was scared too, but as the days grew closer to departure exitment took over for me. I was on another continent, far away from my family and friends with food I was not accustomed to. My host family went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed, it was a big leap ot of my comfort zone but I do not regret it one bit!

Is mainly because I'm very bad at socialising. The people I talk more is my family.

How did you do socially there? Was it easy to make friends and such?

Heya! Duolingo is a good app to help study French and Mandarin, and I do know there are "clubs" of sorts on there too. I'm not sure if you can study with someone, but you can practice having an online French or Mandarin conversation? :p best of luck! xx
