One thing that dawned on me recently was how I’ve never really thanked all the people who have contributed to the enormous library we have at lingQ. I’m very grateful for all the work and time Vera, Evgueny, Reinhard and others have put into creating German content into the library. I would be more than happy to contribute content myself, however I heard Steve mention the English library has the most content.
I thought I would let lingq know there doing good, as one of the things they ask for is feed back. I am usually quick to complain or ask questions but never really say anything positive. Of course there are problems but I think over time they will work themselves out especially if they take to heart the members concerns.
I always look forward to Steve’s videos, as most of them are inspiring and they always motivate me when my motivation is waning and thank him for this great product for language learning.
My German has really improved lately using lingq only and for the first time as Steve mentioned, feel like I have my fingers on the ledge and can start to enjoy the language rather than feel confused most of the time. Just today I listened to Native material and could understand a lot more that I thought I would surprisingly as to my “known” word count is so low (the word count doesn’t take into account words that are on level 3 or words I do know but haven’t come across yet). But this is encouraging to me, proving the effectiveness of most of the beginner lessons I’ve listened to and the choice of words.
I’ll continue to recommend lingq to anyone learning a language that I come across, unfortunately most foreigners I meet seem to believe the only way to learn a language is through taking classes, but I know classes for the most part are just a small part of learning a language and know the importance of learning on your own.
