Learning langauges

I am looking to learn some languages.

By October 2025 I want to be able to have basic conversations with people that speak

• Mandarin chinese
• Hindi
• Spanish

I will make some pages for each of these languages now

I will aim to study daily for 1-2 hours

I will use apps such as duolingo and babbel. I will also use langage exchange such as Tandem. I will watch videos on youtube in other languages to see if I can comprehend the words out loud. I then try and have conversations with native speakers.

Some more resources:

• Language exchange apps: HelloTalk, Tandem, iTalki
• Grammar books & guides: Essential for understanding language structure
• Online courses: EdX, Coursera, YouTube tutorials
• TV shows, movies, and podcasts: Find content in your target languages (e.g., Netflix for subtitled shows)

I am also thinking about just learning via anki

I found this spanish anki deck. I will try it out and let you guys know how it goes.

I also found this chinese mandarin deck I will give it a review later on as well

I also found this small hindi deck. Same thing, I will give it a go and see how it goes.

I downloaded an app called tandem which lets me talk to native

I found a Free 3000 word list from collins for spanish and mandarin, they don't have a hindi one though. I have ordered the oxford hindi-english dictionary from the local library.

I signed up for an edx course spanish for beginners I am also looking at creating my own power point lessons creating one hour lectures to post on youtube. I think this will help me to learn the language as I create the lessons.
