These mini podcast prep-lessons are for absolute beginners who need a little instructional help before they can practice the interactive conversations on the site with a native speaker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI realized that every language learning app that I\u2019ve ever quit, I quit because studying the language and practicing the language with a native speaker were separated,\u201d<\/strong> said Virtual Language Practice founder Carol Barrett. I wanted to give language learners the complete package, a way to study, and then immediately put it all into practice in a conversation with a native speaker right away. These new mini podcast lessons will allow language learners to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>The new podcasts will be available on iTunes, Spotify and other podcasting platforms but will also be available in a player directly below each video conversation practice session. So, a learner will be able to go straight from their mini lesson to their conversation practice session all on the same page. Initially, <a href=\"https:\/\/funandfree.fluencyfix.com\/?p=100\">Beginner Spanish<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/funandfree.fluencyfix.com\/?p=58\">Beginner English<\/a> will be rolled out but Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and French will follow soon after. Since <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/languages\/languages-of-europe\/eurobarometer-survey_en.htm\">the EU Barometer<\/a> has listed English, Spanish, Chinese and French among the most useful languages to learn, these languages were a natural choice.<\/p>\n<p>The Virtual conversation practice sessions have already had the effect of making foreign language fluency seem possible for people who have been quietly thinking about it for years.<\/p>\n<p>One learner from Costa Rica said, <strong>\u201cI did what I never thought that I would be able to do.\u201d<\/strong> However, for a large segment of the population, foreign language lessons are out of reach financially. These 65 free beginner mini-lessons and practice sessions will make language learning and fluency more accessible to more people who want to speak a second language.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about this new free offering, visit funandfree.fluencyfix.com or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/3369110\/episodes\/feed\">subscribe to Beginner English<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/3369117\/episodes\/feed\">Beginner Spanish<\/a> where ever you listen to podcasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Virtual Language Practice<\/strong><br \/>\nVirtual Language Practice is a provider of on-demand foreign language speaking practice in 5 languages.
