Thanks for the link. The website looks fantastic! Now I have another reason to be excited about summer.

In my opinion, it's pretty impressive that you speak any Lakota at all. Are you interested in any other Native
American languages? The Cherokee syllabary is really neat, for instance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I am interested in ALL Native American languages. The harder thing is deciding which ones
of them I am not interested in. Cherokee is especially interesting because of its unique writing system and high degree of tonality, something not common in most of the languages I study. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Tibetan... my dream language and yet I am finding it a challenge to put together the
materials to work on the standard(Llasa) dialect. I am actually just considering going into classical Tibetan, and then just learn the dialects later, as they are based off the classical. The classical is also what literary Tibetan is based off of, so I will need to learn it anyway. Of course then, there is always something to be said with just working on Mandarin until I can actually visit Tibet... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sanskrit is too cool to ignore. I think I will start working on it sometime soon. So few
languages have dual number, and possess such fascinating verbs. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like the way Sanskrit sounds too. I just found this nice song in Sanskrit.

So I have started watching some Finnish movies from the Veras, private eye series. They are actually OK and it is pretty fun to be able to understand a bit of what they are saying.
This might be the best time in the language learning process! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Today I watched a Finnish movie called "Elokuu" which means August. Even with Finnish subtitles, I couldn't understand a lot of what was said but the movie had a rather straight forward plot so it wasn't so bad. I like the way Finland looks so much and the people seem rather interesting as well. I really hope to be able to go sometime.
