Help studying languages.
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.
@myluna123
Thank you so much :) I'll definetly check it out!
About studying abroad, I want to do it on my last uni year. But I'm a bit scared about it
@Booklover95
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!
@myluna123
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?
@Booklover95
So i am a pretty shy person myslef. All of my friends abroad were ones who were either in the same studyabroad program as me or they were studyingabroad themselves. It was very difficult to make friends with the Spaniards (I studied in Spain) because they had different schedules than me, and it was also hard for me to make the first move becuase of my shyness.

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
@rebecca947
thank you :)
I didn't know about the clubs actually. I'll check them out
@Booklover95
I know where to find the clubs on the app on phones, but not too sure about on website :)
