Let's credit the members who've chosen less obvious languages and are clearly making great progress. Their examples are really inspiring! This is to acknowledge their success and give them extra motivation to stick with it.
The ones that immediately come to mind are: Ashley_Victrola, learning Romanian in the US Tupiniquim, learning Swedish in Brazil Who else? Edited by cordelia0507 on 04 August 2009 at 5:16pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I could be included in your wise list as I'm learning Galician....neverthless, I haven't had the chance to speak to anyone in the same language lately....some could say that my target language is pretty close to Spanish and portuguese, but....

The languagages mentioned are, while not as common as the most commonly studied languages, not THAT extraordinay either.
- Some hear learn Cornish, or I believe even Manx; - Haven't met anyone on here who's actually learning/has learnt any Berber language/dialect - I think daristani has a good knowledge of Kurdish, but I'm not entirely sure - William_Camden seems to have a good grasp of Turkish, which I don't encounter that often, either. - Some people here (mainly Mexicans, I believe) are learning some of the indigenous Mayan/Aztec languages of their country So yeah... I don't disagree with your original post, I just think there are even more extraordinary languages being studied and cared about on here. Personally, I don't think I've ever come across anyone trying to learn an Asian or a "Native American" language... A lot of the rarer languages aren't even featured in the list you can pick the languages from to submit to your personal profile, though, so maybe more of us are learning Mundari, Ihsan, Ewe and Eyak than we suspect? :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Used to be in Sri Lanka, I should add. Thanks for the mention, hanni.. but I think maybe cordelia thought German isn't that crazy and bizarre.. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm learning Chinese, Modern Greek, Swahili and Maori for no particular reason - haven't made much progress in the latter two though.

I am learning German and it IS "crazy and bizarre"(well at least some of the grammar), so Jiwon's mention was correct! :-) and his accomplishements ARE impressive. Perhaps hani thought it was unusual for someone in Asia to study another European language than English (there was a thread about this topic earlier). Great to see that people are nominating themselves - why not! I wish I had some language skills worthy of advertising. 1 person has voted this message useful |
