Transform Your Language Skills with These Comprehensive Resources

All Linguistic Resources in One Place

Let’s be honest. The biggest stumbling block to learning a new language is not really time, age, or any other factor you may have heard. Instead, it is access to practical resources. When you have what you need to make heads and tails out of a new language, then you have a full arsenal to go all the way. And that’s what we provide in the following ways:

Our Core Content

If you’re eager to build a solid foundation in a new language, the first thing you need to get through is the basics. And how better to do that than by using our following core resources?

1. In-Depth Articles. We have tons of long-form articles that explain how languages work, down to the complexities of phonetics and speech mechanics. This knowledge empowers you with realistic expectations as well as a deep understanding of what you can do to grasp new phonetic systems.

What’s more, as we cover different languages, you can focus on the articles that feature your current interests to narrow your research scope.

1. Case Studies. Our coverage goes beyond the theoretical aspects of languages and also covers practical applications. By scouring our case studies based on real people, you can understand how languages work. These cover all types of linguistic research, from how age influences language learning to how language learners can use exposure to better their accents.

Such insights further bolster your mastery of a language and give you a leg up as you continue with your lessons.

1. Linguistic Events. If you have a deep interest in uncovering more about languages, how about attending a conference on linguistics? We feature such events, highlighting what they cover and where they take place. One such event that always gets our attention is the International Congress of Linguists (IPL), which takes place every five years.

But whether you are following the IPL or looking for a space where you can learn more about languages, we have your back!

1. Short-Form Articles. We do enjoy having fun with languages. So, don’t be surprised when you come across content that covers lighter topics such as figurative language, the role of body language, and tons of other fun topics that play a crucial role in how we communicate with others. It’s not always about the grammar!

Our Learning-Oriented Resources

We are here to support you in your journey. But rather than give you a bunch of guides and send you on your way, we offer practical resources as follows:

1. Research Summaries. While research papers may prove interesting to scholars, we understand that not everyone wants to read a whole document to get to the findings. So, our experts review linguistic research papers and summarize everything in neat articles that you can get through in minutes. The more that you can understand the fascinating world of linguistics, the better you can apply these insights in your learning.

For example, research findings on how bilingualism affects learning a third language can help you better prepare when embarking on a third language.

1. Practical Tips. Learning the basics of a language is one thing. But putting that theory into practice is another. For example, what happens if you learn Parisian French only to realize that Quebec French uses a different accent? These are some of the challenges that new language learners encounter in their journeys. And we, having been there, know just how you can work through such bumps in the road. So, whether you are struggling with understanding accents or pronouncing words, we have just the tips for you.
2. Learning Exercises. The only way to master a language is to be open to putting your learning to practical use. As such, we offer guidance on aspects such as pronunciation, grammar, and phonetic transcription. By continuously using our exercises to master such things, you will find that your speech clarity becomes better. Plus, it’s much more fun to learn a language through such training as this enhances your memory.

Our Community

There is a saying that goes, “If you want to go fast, walk alone. But if you want to go far, walk with others.” It pretty much sums up our approach to learning new languages, which is why we offer a robust community with the following:

1. Vibrant discussion forums. At some point along your journey, you will have questions or concerns regarding your progress. Perhaps you will need to share a funny story about how you ordered the wrong thing at a restaurant because you used the wrong word. Or maybe you will want to get people’s opinions on how long it takes to learn a language.

Whatever it is, we have a lovely community where our members can connect and share what is going on in their lives. And with other people cheering you on, you will feel quite motivated to keep going.

1. General tips. There is no one-size-fits-all approach that works in learning a new language. For example, one learner may do well in an immersive environment where they adopt the language by copying what they hear and see. Another may prefer a formal setting where they learn the language from the basic level and progress to the advanced levels. As such, we create an environment where users can freely share their unique ways of mastering new languages. You can borrow from these and tweak them to match what works for you.
