How do you practice? Do you go to a class, use an app, follow a books lessons? Do you use a mixture of learning methods? Which ones are your favorites and why? I personally use several apps but I would like to know how everyone else practices and why they chose their method(s).

    I use a mixture of methods. I used to take a class several years ago

    Now I tend to listen to Italian radio and podcasts on both the RaiPlay Sound and the Swiss RSI Play apps.

    I do use Duolingo sometimes, but the Italian course is limited to the A2 level, so there’s a clear plateau and I only use it to continue to reinforce the basics. I does kind of help that it’s a bit mindless because it does build up that sill of not thinking about it.

    There’s a number of virtual meetups on meetup.com that I occasionally try out, but I need to be more consistent with.

    I also created an XMPP language exchange group at https://xmpp.link/#italian-language-exchange@chat.disroot.org?join if anyone wants to join.

    Not sure if this group is still active, but I hope this gets some dialogue going!
