Hello! Let's introduce ourselves :)

Hi everyone, I’m Paul from the west of England. The coronavirus pandemic meant I had to move to working from home and that’s going to continue for the foreseeable future. It has literally given me a new lease of life! I’ve started learning Spanish here on Memrise, guitar on GuitarTricks, various IT/“geeky” things on Udemy and Pluralsight. I’m working my way through Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books and, when the weather cooperates, am finally getting into another interest I just never seemed to find time for: astronomy.

P.S. Don’t tell my wife just yet, but I’m also going to try to learn to cook too. :wink:

Hi, my name is Chidera. I’ve been learning Spanish on Memrise for two years now. I’m 19 years old and I’d love to meet fellow Spanish learners too.

Welcome every new person to the Forum.

It is a very useful place to ask questions and to find answers.

My tip for learning English, after doing the official MemRise courses, go to the web, put English as your mother tongue then look for courses to learn your language.

Hi everybody! Nice to meet you! I’ve been learning German on Memrise for 4 days now. I wish everyone pleasant learning.

Could you advise effective books in German for beginners?

This 224 page A4-size book covers everyday German, and is pleasant to work with. It includes well laid out basic grammar and vocabulary, short exercises (with solutions) and an MP3 CD with about three hours of audio. It’s also fairly inexpensive (~ £12) and probably contains enough material for 100+ hours of study. Good luck with your German learning project :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @janeking12, I wouldn’t categorize the “Easy German” YouTube channel as gripping, but it is definitely entertaining and useful:

Thanks) :slightly_smiling_face: You are my superhero) :man_superhero: Now I am learning German with pleasure.

I was also recommended this one but can’t say I watched a lot of it:

Thanks for your advice! :hugs:

Hi my name is Florence, I an 13 and I live in Cornwall.
I enjoy Memrise, reading, singing, Harry potter, listening to music, baking, sword fighting and much more.
I am looking for French, English and German people aged around 11-15. Someone would be interested in some friendly Memrise competition and a bit of a chitchat just to keep up the language skills and build new friendships.
If you would like to get in touch please private message me and then we can take things from there. I would also be more than happy for us to chat on WhatsApp if preferred.
Hopeyou have a lovely day (or night!)
