CPops is right. What is the end goal? I found Swedish easier to learn than French; (more) simple grammar, very similar to English in many ways. Tolkien/saga-style English, at least. Ties to northern British traditional slang and place names of interest also. But I earn the majority of my living from French. stevenbrianhall - I'm no fan of Duolingo. I wanted it to work well, but it let me down. The voice rec is a gimmick, the material doesn't seem to be able to take you very far. Also, as a translator I find the idea of relying on crowdsourced translation too great a risk. For anyone interested in language learning techniques and startups, would you happen to know how to legally protect an audio-only teaching method? I presume it would fall under the legal area of copyright, but the technique I'm developing would be easily copied. Do I need to just bite the bullet and trust in copyright law? I'm not normally jumpy about IP but I would like a few years to try to market this one as my own.
