For instance a female might say something and it be meant as a completely harmless comment, but you know if it were coming from a guy they are being a dick, or vice versa.

May I ask how that works to do college full time and work full time?

Here, send me your lang-8 ID or profile page thing.

>>> There is a lot of English in them though, so, if you are going totally immersion, it may not be for you.

The intermediate level drops a ton of the English out, and I’m assuming advanced does as well, so if you’re going for immersion you can just bump up the difficulty. I’m finding Jpod really really awesome for reading (.pdf’s of the conversation) and listening. Being able to read conversations and then listen to them, and then have people talk about the contructions, nuances etc. is really helpful.

I’m not sure I would use it to solely learn, but as a place for reading/listening practice it’s been really helpful.

And also, it gives some pretty insightful things on like how to use certain words or grammar correctly. A pretty good supplement.

Didn’t study at all today :/
