I'm multilingual myself and have been wanting to brush up on some of my languages for a while; will definitely check out Language Transfer! A book I highly suggest is the "Colloquial Series" for languages, they have any language you can imagine. It was a great tool for when I was learning Russian. Have used it for Italian, and Farsi too.

Someone recently told me about italki, which simply is an online tutor platform where you can get lessons for a relative low price - and they have different versions too, say just spoken, written etc.

Thank you Sara! I have used iTalki and liked it a lot. I'll check out the book as well.

The best paths to learn Brazilian Portuguese: music (https://youtu.be/jBnedtBKUso), art (Brazilian Naives - https://www.artportal.co.il/?CategoryID=935&ArticleID=1077) and speak with neighbors

I understand you. I once tried to speak french with a tourist, made a terribly funny mistake (instead of saying "are you french ?", i said "am i french ?"), and couldn't continue. But fortunately, she could speak english, so i switched to that.

Haha! That's funny. Although I'm sure it didn't sound nearly as terrible to the other person as it did to you :)

You're partially right (it didn't). But what i left out was that the Negar 9 years ago (this happened 9 years ago), would catastrophize this but Negar now doesn't see it that way.
