I'm not multilingual myself. I wanted to study German in secondary school, but for some reason was forced into French instead. Found that a bit off-putting so I gave it the bare minimum effort. I tried learning Gaelic on DuoLingo for a few weeks, but I realised I'd been treating it like a memory game and wasn't actually understanding what I was learning. Which is part of why I ask the above question. Are there autists among us who have learned other languages? If so, how did you find your experience of learning a new language? Do you have any advice for autistic people in particular, looking to learn a new language?
I was looking to learn Swahili, but I don't have the energy or time for course books, etc.
I found a website, Language Transfer, where the language courses are free and where there is a different methodology to learning languages. You can access their courses via the website, the LT app, Youtube or Spotify.
The website is https://www.languagetransfer.org where you can download language courses or use their Language Transfer app on Apple and Android.
Thanks for the reference, free resources are always handy with subjects like these.
