I finally got back to 99%...there were about 700 pages of HITs when I woke up (7 AM here in England) but now only 5. -_-
However, I got accepted to Rev, which gives me something to do in my downtime. Does anyone here have experience with them?

Good morning everyone, decided to get up a little earlier and get some work done when the house is still quiet

Good morning and a Happy Torrential Thursday to all!

I just noticed that Swagbucks had an offer for Babbel but I don't know how good it is.
Babbel might be expensive but if there's a trial or something - anyway check Swagbucks.

yeah I'm using that one already, just didn't know if there were any other good ones. My boyfriend's first language is Spanish and I want to learn, but he isn't really sure how to teach me lol

watch telemundo with sub titles.I'm not being flip. I find myself thinking in spanish after watching it for awhile. And reversing I know people who loved Eddie murphy movies for learning English when they came here from south of the border.

i stay away from babbel since it filled my computer with some kind of ad ware but that was some years ago. maybe they've improved.

I wasn't happy with duolingo for japanese, but lingodeer was at least 552,972.02% better

maybe they'll do better for spanish too

 

[Jharkan]

and what I mean by that, is that after a few sessions (a week or so) with duolingo, all you get is more of the same.
with lingodeer, they change up the types of lessons, and things that you do in each session

and there are speaking/listening parts, too
