No matter what everyone tells you, whether it’s okay to be unproductive during these trying times, or to try and be productive during quarantine, no one can really tell you what to do. Do what entertains you, no one is stopping you! However, if you’re looking for ways to polish your foreign language skills, or you would want to learn a new one, Fast Company offers six ways to learn for free:
Rosetta Stone. The grandfather of language companies is offering free three-month subscriptions to learn any of 22 languages.
Babbel. The course hub just opened up three months of free classes in a dozen languages.
Fable Cottage. These fun audio and video stories in French, German, Spanish, and Italian are usually locked under subscription, but are now freely accessible.
Conjuguemos. This teachers’ mecca of games, activities, and worksheets in seven languages (including Latin and Korean) is perfect for building an awesome curriculum of the nuts and bolts—verbs, grammar, and vocab. Free during the outbreak.
iCulture. Don’t miss Carnegie Learning’s immersion package of videos, articles, and songs in French, Spanish, or German, which are free through June.
Mango. The company provides high-speed learning in 70 languages for companies and schools. Its online language portal is freely accessible.
In addition, you can check apps such as LingoDeer and the cult classic, DuoLingo.
