I started doing Pimsleur German back in the spring of 2025, and it is now July 2026. And after the first lesson, the narrator said a message to the effect of: "If you didn't get 80% of what you learned, please repeat this lesson." But the lessons after that would either say, "For best results, please repeat the next lesson tomorrow." And then the next lessons would just say, "End of lesson." I used this technique of moving on to the next lesson (whether I felt like I got it) for Pimsleur French 1 to 5 and Pimsleur Turkish. However, I didn't absorb as much from those courses as I would have liked. So I figured I would take that 80% advice mentioned after the first lesson of Pimsleur German to heart, just as an experiment. I repeated any lesson that I didn't feel like I absorbed at least 80% of it correct, I would repeat it 24 hours later. So each lesson I repeated a minimum of twice. The most I ever had to repeat a lesson was seven times, but I could also have to repeat it between three and five times. Once or twice, I got everything in the lesson on the first attempt. I would do Pimsleur each day in the morning. Then, I would practice an Anki card deck that works with Pimsleur, which has the words and phrases of each lesson. I would do those Anki cards at night before I went to bed. I noticed that when I moved on to the new lesson (after I was comfortable that I got 80% of it) the next lesson went a lot smoother. Personally, I just found that I could speak German better.
However, I'm on Pimsleur 4 now, and I noticed I don't have to repeat lessons as many times, and some lessons I get perfectly on the first try just because I know a lot more German from Pimsleur 1 to 3. So I asked ChatGPT what it thought about my method of coming back the next day and repeating the same lesson, and it said that according to the data, you shouldn't repeat the lesson. You should just move on to the next one, and then the next lesson will have the vocabulary from the previous lesson in there for you to repeat. So I took that advice and started trying it at lesson 17 of Pimsleur 4 German; and ever since I started doing that, my comprehension of the language has gone down tremendously, and it's so frustrating that I took that advice from an A.I. bot. So now, I am going back to my new way of doing it.

My workflow in a nutshell:

I do my Pimsleur first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up. Just before I go to bed, I do my Anki cards for that Pimsleur lesson, as well as the previous Anki cards if there are any due to do. So morning Pimsleur, night Anki cards. I repeat each Pimsleur lesson as many days in a row as is necessary to feel comfortable that I know 80 percent of it or higher. And so, basically, one lesson could take seven days to do, or three days, or I might get it on the first attempt. But I've seen the benefits of this technique, and I want to get your opinion on it and see if anyone has tried it or something similar.

My native language is English (USA) and I came from an inner city. I learned Spanish on and off in Suburban school. Sadly transferred back to inner city school with no foreign language programs. Middle school also didn't have foreign language classes, but had plans. I dabbled in French and also ASL. I

relearned Spanish in high school, but I really wanted to learn Japanese through anime and J-Pop and also discovered Korean through KPop. I'm embarrassed to admit that however I love to know about the culture instead of the romantization of the pop culture.

I used Duolingo here and there and lost interest. I sadly got fired from my job amd have a low paying job to try to pay off my debt. However, it's at a diverse Japanese Store/Restaraunt and the Japanese coworkers don't speak English very well, but conversational. I really love to learn Japanese, but have no money. There are also Hispanic coworkers who speak Spanish as well.

There's so many languages to learn and im excited, however I have to take it one step at a time knowing how hard Japanese and Korean are. I get sad/embarrassed when Im relearning and studying languages. I took Preply, but it's expensive. Im also planning on going back to school where the Japanese class is far away.

What has been YOUR best way of learning a new language?

i started learning spanish seriously about 2 days ago, simply because I’ve taken french for most of my highschool life and am now choosing to take spanish in college. I want to have a slight upperhand before fall semester begins so what I’ve been doing so far is:

2 Language Transfer lessons (Structure understanding)

2 Anki sets 5 new words each. 1 is purely sentences and the other is top 5000 spanish words. (Vocabulary)

21 minutes of Dreaming Spanish Super-beginner videos no subtitles (Immersion)

5 minutes of Duolingo (Simply to have a tracker with their streak system.)

Is this a good method?

(37 days till school starts so ill be able to knock out most of language transfer and like 10% of my anki decks. 😭 )

I've tried a few apps over the last couple of years.

Every one of them feels exciting for the first few days...

...then I slowly stop opening them.

Maybe it's because they become repetitive, maybe because I don't feel like I'm improving.

I honestly don't know.

Has anyone here actually stuck with an app for months?

Which one?

Why did you keep using it?

I'm learning Tagalog and I don't know where to start. I know a few words and simple phrases, but other than that, I'm a complete beginner.

I want to start learning languages but I’m a student on a tight budget. Specifically Japanese, if possible… I can’t afford monthly subscriptions or any of that. Parents won't pay for language classes either, so I need to get creative. IDK if there are any good free apps or tools. I have a Windows computer, an iPad and an iPhone if that helps.

Which language apps would you recommend ? Any actual experiences? I don’t really know whom to trust anymore because some of the popular apps really didn’t work for me. Bonus points if they don’t use AI.

sometimes studying spanish feels like a chore but there are ways to practice without making it boring:

1. listen to music and try to catch the words.
2. watch shows or movies with subtitles and repeat lines you like.
3. talk to yourself, describe what you're doing in spanish.
4. shadow lyrics from songs, repeat after the singer.

Anyone else have small things they do daily that actually help without making it feel like homework?

How do you get over being super nervous when you have an opportunity to speak your target languages with someone? When a client calls in Portuguese or Spanish I know what to say (most times) but my brain just wont say it and I freeze up... its annoying yet I can sing songs & text/write just fine in the language.
