spaghetti-persauna asked: So I remember you said you took formal classes to learn languages. Like what type of formal languages? And do you know any good places to learn languages o line? :3 btw do you recommend reddead redemption(?) :3 lol

I RECOMMEND RDR SO HARD YOU HAVE NO IDEA D8 

I never took classes online. I think long-distance learning is quite disadvantageous with the lack of teacher presence and the insignificance (most of the time) of homeworks. Also, in language learning, it requires a lot of interaction. You may learn about grammar and sentence structure at home on a sofa through a book but you will never acquire it without interacting with native speakers or even with fellow learners. I learned from classes in university but acquired the language through talking with people. I recommend inquiring in a cultural center (eg Instituto Cervantes/Italian, Goethe-Institut/German, Alliance française/French). They normally hold language classes there. 

Just my two cents ;)
