Please share your opinions and experiences. I rate access to some one on one tutoring very highly too...
I am currently using the free version of swedishpod101 (as well as duolingo) - it has some pros and cons imo. The QUIZ is next to useless as it wont accept any legit variation in the answers - so even if you are correct you can get a "wrong" result. The class NOTES (in English) are very helpful IMO as it makes it easier to follow the lessons. And of course the ability to immerse yourself in the language with the longer podcasts is excellent.
I like Duolingo but I feel it has some real shortcomings, such as the soon to be absence of the incredibly valuable forum! I feel that without the forum it will be much harder to learn and progress. I have already learned so much from the forum that the SOFTWARE was incapable of teaching me!
