(I haven't thoroughly read everyone's replies yet, or know what you're all trying to learn (thus the short reply above^^), but I think it's great that so many of us are trying to learn other languages, and think it's a great idea to have a thread where we can chat about our languages, experiences, share tools etc.!)

@Edelaen: Ah, I see. Yeah, I never really thought much about English tenses before I started trying to learn other languages. Some things that can be expressed with just the simple present tense in Korean have to be in the present progressive tense in English and such. I can see why it would be confusing

I haven't posted here in a bit since I haven't been very active on Voltra, but I'm still studying Russian and Korean. For Korean I've mostly just been focusing on reading, and for Russian I'm currently on lesson 20 of 30 in the book I'm using. Lesson 20 is about verbs of motion, which are a bit complicated in Russian~
I added this site to the resources post for Korean:
https://mirinae.io/#/
I found it a few days ago when I saw another Korean learner mention it, and I really like it so far. It seems pretty helpful, and I've been using it more than Papago since I found it.
I want to add a few more Russian resources to the post as well when I get the chance.
Update!
I added Language Learning with YouTube, Language Learning with Netflix, and CaptionPop to the general resources post. I've been using Language Learning with YouTube for a week, and I really like it.
Updated! I added some more general and language-specific resources to the first page.
And it's been a few months since my last post here, so an update on my language learning:
For Korean, I've been focusing on intensive reading, but I've been trying to add some more listening practice back in. I do listen to Korean songs relatively often, but I don't really use songs to study. For Russian, I finished The New Penguin Russian Course, so I've been trying to listen to podcasts/watch videos meant for learners as well as read texts/stories written for learners. I throw in some grammar review from time to time as well. It's my first time learning a language with cases and verb aspect like this, so the grammar is particularly difficult. Russian grammar seems to trip me up more than Korean grammar, which I didn't except. I try to keep up with my Anki reviews for both languages, but sometimes I miss a day and they pile up a bit.

Having you as a Voltie would be awesome.
