#foreigncy

I was trying to brush up on my Russian, when I discovered a website called Foreigncy. It’s “a one-of-a-kind language training system for advanced level students and language professionals.” They currently have Russian, Arabic, and Hebrew available for English natives. (It looks like they used to have Persian, Urdu and Mandarin, but they haven’t been updated for a couple years.)

Users go through a three-step process: first, you’re given an English language summary of the foreign news article. Then, you’re given a set of vocab lists, flashcards and quizzes to prepare you for the vocab in the article. Finally, once you feel you have familiarised yourself with the vocabulary and the subject matter, they send you to a real-life news article.

Let me know what you think of this resource! Happy learning!
