LeahWhitehorse; I'm learning Portuguese too. Could you tell me about LingQ. What are the lengths of the texts used? And what kind of materials are they? For example, novels or non-fiction?
I think that apart from actually immersing yourself in the local culture and speaking the language everyday, then reading and listening, a lot is the next best way to learn a language.
I agree, too, that facebook is a good place to meet speakers of the language you are interested in.
