Trying to self-teach a language
I discovered duolingo online and was happy that they had Irish as one of the languages that you can learn. It has a bit of a personal connection for me because I come from a family of Irish-Appalachians. It's challenging, but I'm slowly making progress!
I am also self learning using Duolingo. I'm Filipino and my dialect's Bisaya. I learned English first before Tagalog at school. I moved to the US and now I'm learning Spanish cuz it's required and at the same time learning and practicing my Korean with Duolingo and Korean dramas. 1 reply

I learned english through Google Translator. There was a site with flash games about nature and such, and everyone was speaking in english. I didn't understand a shit so I started to translate what people said to me, then translate from spanish to english my own replies.
My main language is spanish. 4 reply
Actually I've taught my self korean language but the problem is I CANT read korean sentences and I don't understand them... As long as I know some words, I quite understand the sentence. Dumb me (-_-) 2 reply

I used Duolingo for Japanese. I thought it was pretty good for rapid learning of basic conversational words, sentence structure and grammar. It's not as in-depth as Human Japanese, but every little bit of practice helps and Duolingo offered that practice while making it fun and interesting. 4 reply
My first language is Bangla.
I've been learning English for 12 years and I'm not satisfied with my progress (#-.-) Even though I'm a fast learner( ̄へ ̄)
Can speak a little Japanese & Hindi... 1 reply
Ah, I'm currently self-teaching myself Korean! I can proudly say that 95% of the reason is so I can watch Bangtan Bombs without subtitles and the other 5% is just because I love the language. It's kinda stressful, but rewarding when you finally get it. Third day of learning and I have (somwhat) memorized Hangul! reply
