learning/review of foreign languages

[Bob]

Any good sites? Or materials, but I'm thinking more websites.

For learning and review.

I'm also thinking more European languages.

Bob I think you should start learning Slovenian language!      It's interesting! 
I found this site: https://www.101languages.net/slovenian/
I didn't know there were any sites for learning Slovenian... 

[Bob]

Yeah that site kind of looks like what I was thinking of.  I didn't notice the navigation bar on the left at first.

Na pomoč! Na pomoč! Pazi! Kje je stranišče?  Sem v stiski.

Pustite me pri miru!  Ne dotikajte se me! Poklical bom policijo. Na pomoč!  Na pomoč!  Policija!



I was thinking there's Live Mocha and the Rosetta Stone, although the Rosetta Stone is expensive and looks like it teaches by memorizing phrases.  I've seen a few college sites with drill exercises.

That is a good site.  Not too much depth but decent.  I've spent some time watching tv from other countries.

I would really suggest getting an intensive course for Slavic languages like Slovenian, for they are a monster to learn for native English speakers especially, due to its nature as a heavily inflecting language (English is not a heavily inflecting language by any means). It would also help to think about what use you could get out of using a chosen language, for it takes years to know a language well enough to have much practical usage from it. Even learning the easier Romance languages can take a bit of working at it, much less Slavic languages like Slovenian, Czech, Slovak, Russian, etc.

What's inflection exactly?

What's inflection exactly?

The Wiki article gives a lot of good examples in English and other languages. It really is a bit of a foreign concept in English (for most forms, anyhow).

That's funny Bob!  Why did you need a toilet so bad? Did you get sick from eating too many hamburgers?   
And why did you need police? Someone tried stealing your hamburgers?     

But yes nice to meet you too!  
Hvala enako!
Lep pozdrav!
