Duolingo
I always start a language on duolingo. In some languages, it starts with a statistic on how many learn the language, and the countries and why to learn on the sign up page. Then it fowllows with a guide at the start, which you can find again in the index on the left of your screen on a laptop attached to a desktop screen.
Hebrew
A search for the word Hebrew brings up Hebrewpod101 which seems to go quickly into groups of useful words. I assumed that this was a uniquely Hebrew website. I later realised that they are a system like Duolingo and offer many other languages including those with chalenging alphabets, such as Hindi.
Plurals in Hebrew
Back to the subject of Hebrew - I already knew that plurals end in im , as in the English word seraphim. The Hebrew plural for cherub would be cherubs in English, cherubim in Hebrew.
If you want to meet other teachers and learners, I jointly run a Toastmasters Internationa speakers' training group, named LILT, for languages for interest, learning and travel.
It is every Sunday, lunchtimes in London and mid evening in Singapore. We have a whats app group. I know the correct spelling but am separating the words in case here or elsewhere some media deletes posts advertising a rival system.
Contact me or Carolyn Street. You can message both of us on Face book. I,
Angela Lansbury
Angela Lansbury, am a teacher of beginner to advanced English and French and beginner any language. I have been a home tutor for years, the longest in London in the UK (but also lived in the USA and as a travel writer many other English speaking countries so know vocabulary for the USA well as I lived there about two years. I am an aspiring polyglot.
Carolyn was a teacher of French and German at a Singapore. She has been the Language Evaluator, sometimes called Grammarian, at Toastmasters International clubs for years.
Regarding costs, on both Duolingo and the pod system I have been able to sign up for a starter course in several languages. They hope you will later join the advanced paid for course, which might be worthwhile once you have made good progress on their system and are confident that you will make even more progress on the second system.
for the benefit of LILT, which starts a new language every month, running alphabettically, Hevbrew in January 2023, Hindi in February 2024,
