New week, new weekly thread. What are you learning this week and how?

It's also back-to-school season, at least around my neck of the woods. Not sure if many students are here, but good luck to any we do have. And for the rest of us, let's carry that spirit as impetus to learn something new this fall.

I started portuguese a while ago. Coming from Spanish it should be a relatively easy pick up.

So far plan is:

a) Linguno for conjugation

b1) music for vocab (anki) b2) learn to sing some jobim tunes on guitar

c) grammar as needed

Down-the-road: some tv show or podcast or something; I think it's going to be less challenging than french to understand spoken from what I've heard already.

This is my first language with absolutely no formal or structured instruction, and that feels pretty cool.

If you already know Spanish well, it does seem like it should be an easy transition. But every language has some stuff.

Sounds like you've got a good plan laid out, hope it progresses well.
