LTM Workshop- August 17 2024

It was great to connect with a bunch of the LTM Masterclass participants on Saturday, thanks so much to those of you who could join. I will run these regularly in addition to our monthly LTM Lounges because it’s so great to meet you, hear which languages you are learning, where you are based, where you are moving to…! Most folks were studying Portuguese, but we had London, Nashville, and Atlanta in the house. Here are some notes from the the session, thanks all for your input.

Any language:

📓 We went over the LTM Workbook- designed to help keep up motivated, on track, learning & exploring.

📓 A great online extension for language learning: Language Reactor (formerly ‘Language Learning with Netflix)

📓 Meet Up: great for finding local language practice groups.
