This is a great list of resources! Thank you for sharing! I've taken a few domestika courses in the past and they helped me develop my practice and debunked some materials I previously struggled with.
Not art classes, but I've been trying to learn languages lately (mainly Korean and Cantonese) and have been doing it all async. There are some great language learning resources out there, and I like that I can benefit from using different language learning philosophies (rather than an in-person class where you just learn from one style of instructor). However, not getting direct feedback on my pronunciation is hard. I also feel like I'm not challenging myself enough, and it's harder to keep the discipline of going every day. I had a college who took language classes at her local community college and found it to be really helpful (and affordable). So maybe I'll look into that.
That's super exciting, Laura! What resources have you been relying on the most? For Korean at least, I know the Korea Society offers language courses as well as an exchange program that matches up students to native Korean speakers. https://www.koreasociety.org/online-language
Oh thanks for sharing! I didn't know about the Korea Society; I'll have to check that out. I've been doing all async, mostly with Talk to Me in Korean (https://talktomeinkorean.com/) workbooks, podcasts, and exercises. I also just like watching KDramas on Viki (with the learn Korean mode) where they put the 한글 under the english subtitles and if you click on a word they'll define it for you and give you the pronunciation. For Cantonese I've started with Pimsleur course but I'm struggling to find other good resources (most of the stuff out there is for teaching Mandarin).
