I didn't care for it. Too clunky, and I didn't care for the dictionaries that were being used. Last time I used it, it didn't have any capability to detect separable verbs in German, either. But, thanks for the tip! Indeed, the audio and the transcripts are still useful; I just don't like the Lingq "system." :) Hey Evilis,

Yeah, I’ve heard of (and tried) Lingq. I didn’t care for it. Too clunky, and I didn’t care for the dictionaries that were being used. Last time I used it, it didn’t have any capability to detect separable verbs in German, either.

But, thanks for the tip! Indeed, the audio and the transcripts are still useful; I just don’t like the Lingq “system.” :)

I think this it is an amazing site for language learning. You probably have heard of it but if you haven't I think it would really help you: lingq.com. It has a bunch of audio media in like eight different languages with the transcript written on the same page. You can highlight words you don't know and the dictionary will define them for you.
