I'd pick Swiss-German over Bavarian, but, of course, that shouldn't stop you from dealing with the dialect you like :)

No problem, there's some Swiss German courses on Memrise as well! I was going to do those after I finished the Bavarian ones :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's actually considered safe (not even slightly endangered) by UNESCO. The country is really small, but the key factor is that the chain isn't broken, the language is passed on from one generation to the next, and it's used for education. I visited Malta last year (amazing ♥) and was surprised just how much Maltese I heard. Good luck with it!!! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you Serpent! It really does make me glad to find out that these less-spoken but amazing languages aren't dying out or being replaced. @ Everyone: I've started learning days of the week in Maltese and it's quite interesting how they're named. The Maltese start the week on Sunday and ends it on Saturday: Sunday = il-Ħadd Monday = it-Tnjen Tuesday = it-Tlieta Wednesday = l-Erbgħa Thurdsay = il-Ħamis Friday = il-Ġimgħa Saturday = is-Sibt What's interesting about the days of the week is that they coincide for the most part with the numbers (with the possible exception of Sunday since I don't immediately see "Ħadd" from "Wiegħed". So one could think of Monday as "Day Two", Tuesday as "Day Three", etc. That's just the idea mind you, the word for day (il-Jum) is not present in the names.

Ciao!
Gestern, hatte ich mein Grammikbüchlein während der Busfährt eingearbeitet. Ich kaufte es in Deutschland an der Hauptbahnhof in Marburg. Es ist herausgegeben von Langenscheidt. Es enthält Grammatikthemen von A1 bis B2, und ich finde es sehr nützlich für die Überprüfung. Das Büchlein ist auch ganz aus Deutsch, kein Englisch. Ich halte es in meiner Tasche. Produckte von Langenscheidt mag ich gern, habe ich auch ein Wörterbuch von ihnen. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Maltese: I've made four vocab lists so far in Anki from one of my Maltese books and I've done my second day of review with it. I'll be re-listening to the chapter to further understand how to pronounce the words. Yesterday I watered some of my plants on Memrise, and I've retained nouns fairly well but verbs and verb conjugations not so much :(
German: Haven't done too much with German lately. Mainly just keeping my plants watered on Memrise and I've also downloaded a list on Anki with vocab from Lower Intermediate to Advanced that'll work on later in the day (it's 9:32 a.m. here, as of this writing). I've found an international radio app that doesn't seem to take up much limited space on my phone or eats up my battery too badly. I plan on definitely getting in more "on-the-go" listening practice with both German and Maltese. Edited by Tollpatchig on 30 September 2014 at 4:52pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
