Hello there language learning friend. Welcome back to Culips. In this episode, I am going to talk about technology. Specifically, I’ll talk about what kinds of technology I have used to learn Korean and Spanish in the past. Now I should start off by saying when I started learning Korean about 10 years ago, there were very few language learning apps available at the time. I remember the only applications I could find were akin to phrase books. This meant that they had a certain phrase and the translation next to it.
First of all, if you have a smartphone, I highly recommend utilising your smartphone for repetitive listening. If you are unfamiliar with repetitive listening, please refer to episode #2 and episode #16 in the Culips series Jeremy’s English Tips to find out more about it.
Key points covered in this episode You can use a smartphone, MP3 or computer to practice listening.
Good headphones and listening to high quality audio gives your brain more audio information.
Language exchange apps like HelloTalk and Tandem can help you find language exchange partners and conduct language exchanges.
You can use online translators to check if your English sentences make sense or not.
You can check to see if a word or phrase is commonly used by native speakers by putting it in quotations and searching for it on Google.
