• I’ve taken a new job that means I’ll be driving a lot. With time to kill I thought I’d get a language app and see what I can learn whilst on the road.

    Can anyone recommend a good one for French and Italian?

  • Am I the only one who finds the idea of concentrating on learning a foreign language whist driving a bit dangerous?

  • back in the 90s it was all about CD packs borrowed from the library.. Duolingo is good for top-up but requires full attention

  • I’ll only be writing notes on the motorway

  • Podcasts on the language of your choice?

  • Mount a tablet to your windscreen and watch Muzzy in the preferred language.

  • might be worth giving the Michel Thomas audio courses a try?
    seems like they're available on audible, or you can get CDs

  • I find these way more helpful than apps, I currently listen to swedishpod101 and they'll be short 5 minute conversations in Swedish and then a break down of what they were talking about afterwards. Nice and bite sized plus you hear real conversation rather than the the proper but no-one really talks like that language

  • Coffee Break Spanish was the one I was thinking about when I wrote the above comment. Similar idea.

    I'm on a 1500 day streak on Duolingo so I'd recommend that but not while driving obviously.
