Re: Has anyone here ever learned a language as an adult?

[soldatsasha]

Duolingo isn't going to get you to fluency, but it can certainly lay a solid foundation for you to work from. It's really no different from any middle or high school language class. (I went through part of the French and Russian courses a while back, just out of curiosity. They both seemed to be very accurate and very in-line with the type of language learning I've done before.

Combine that with a memorization program like Anki, Busuu, or Memrise. Learn the top 100 most-used words, then the next 100 and so on. (This is imo the most useful thing you can do. It'll let you start reading in your target language much faster than normal.) Look on youtube for the bajillions of "how to speak x" videos to hear native speakers. If you can't find someone to practice with, speak out loud to yourself.

Learning a language is really not that hard even in adulthood. Just spend an hour or two a day on it and you'll be decent within a year or two.

ETA: There's also a LOT of free online language courses provided by various govts and schools and stuff. The BBC has a couple available for the languages of the UK, and RT has a Russian course. Some Mongolian news thing has a series on youtube for learning Mongolian.... Just do some googling and you'll find a lot.
