These are excellent free (and effective) language courses. Previous comments from HN folks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20634393 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20634393 I just recently started learning Swahili and found some amazing classes from Language Transfer[0]. (I have no connection with them.) I've spent a lot of time learning languages, including tricky ones like Mandarin, and this is by far the best learning method I have ever come across. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16824186 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16824186 I've tried with Duolingo quite a bit, but what I studied never seemed to stay in my memory. I've had much better luck with Language Transfer - https://www.languagetransfer.org https://www.languagetransfer.org https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15508003 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15508003 I have been using http://www.languagetransfer.org http://www.languagetransfer.org to learn Spanish, and it is the best language system, aside from total immersion, I have ever used (I speak five language with varying degrees of fluency).
