How do you like to start learning a language?
Online courses and self stufy. If I want to take it to the next level I might get a 1:1 teacher.

I usually start by finding common phrases and expressions. Then I start looking for a good list of vocab words using Anki.

I like doing self-study through listening to audio recordings or video tutorials.
Everyday is a learning journey. Keep going!

I start by checking out free resources (ebooks, audiobooks, YouTube, online courses, mobile apps). Then if I feel I need more than that, I look for classes in language centers.

Self study (with time and patience). I like to start with pronouns and verbs, then I'll start to add nouns and start to form phrases :)

I like to search for some vocabulary words of everyday things. I like to write the object in my native language on one side, and on the other side is the name of the object in the language I want to learn. It was also suggested to me to write the name of objects in the language I am learning, on post-it notes and post them on the objects around the house.

I always learn pronunciation and at the same time, except if there are Chinese characters involved, the alphabet in the beginning.
Learning Italian every day!

I try to start with free apps for some self-learning. I have one on my mobile phone that's readily available for use. There was another that gave out little fruit whenever you accomplished a milestone or passed an assessment. That was fun. :)

I usually check online free courses and lessons at the beginning, just to get more familiar with the language. I also look for online courses with discounts on websites for group discounts, then I might compare some prices, and If I find it objective and reasonable, I enroll at face -to-face courses. I also prefer group courses over private sessions, unless I need an intensive approach. I love working alone, but in a group, surrounded by people, so I usually lose motivation when doing everything by myself.

Well, it depends. In my case, self-study is more convenient for me.

You were supposed to spend the fruit... berries I think... on stuff. But I could never bring myself to do it. I liked my lil, lil fruit.
