How often do you study or practise?

Hi, 

I have several italki lessons per week which seems to build to list of vocabulary I need to learn and skirts around in depth grammar learning! I live where they speak my target language so do use it daily, but maybe not as much as I'd like to. How often do other people have italki classes? Or use language partners? I've found that I can be a bit on and off with using Memrise or Anki but have started carrying my little flashcards with me that has old vocabulary that I need to review. 


I've always felt that frequent classes were the way forward but I'm wondering what everyone else does. 


Thanks

Thai romanisation

Does anyone have recommendations for where I can find the best Thai romanisations? I've just started learning Thai so I don't think I'm ready to learn the Thai script yet (never say never!) but I'm finding it hard. My teacher uses romanisation during class but I've not really seen it anywhere else. Any ideas/tips or advice?

Thanks.

Best apps for learning Cantonese?

I've had a go using iAnki and found it difficult to set up the cards - maybe I'm not doing it right?

 

Just found http://www.memrise.com/  and I really like it, there's different options and some 'courses' help with learning characters and also have Jyutping along with audio. Been using it only a few days and already I'm recognising characters more than before. Also if I'm using my phone I can practise writing the characters as part of the 'course'. 

 

I used Duolingo for Spanish but I don't think they have anything for Cantonese, I did find one that was very similar but was Mandarin but was quite good for recognising characters. 

 

These competitive apps make it rather addictive. 

 

There are so many other ones I was wondering what other people use? Also for dictionaries? I've downloaded a few free one's but they're not so user friendly. Any tips?
