Thank you for the kind words Solfrid Cristin, alongside you there are a lot of people
who I can say i'm grateful for seeing in videos on youtube, seeing people speak any language keeps me inspired and truely interested in languages. So people such as Benny, Laoshu505000 (Moses), Fasulye, loki2504, Maha (LearnArabicwithMaha - she subscribed to my channel last week!), Luca and especially Richard Simcott, I personally feel like Richard is someone I aspire to for being from the same country. Especially Tim Doner, given the fact he's younger than I am and speaks a heck load more languages than I do, I would just think it would be interesting to speak to him not just in English, plus as we're both English native speakers, I slightly feel like we share some common grounds based on culture and languages. In general, anyone with an interest in language or culture i'm happy to speak with. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ooo this is a tough one! In no particular order:
Chung- He studies Slavic languages, which have become my favorite language family. Mooby- On the same TAC team and has always been extremely supportive and has detailed logs even throwing in elements of humor into his posts. Amerykanka- Again, on my team, and I would love to learn from her how to activate my Polish. Emk- He probably has the most detailed and helpful posts here. TanyaB- I've only seen snippets of her story how she learned Russian and Armenian, and I would really like to know more, because her method seemed to work very well. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I can't believe I missed this thread. Maybe I don't have a good answer for the question Chung posed, but I think I'd like to meet everyone here who posts regularly.

Thank you for the compliment Cristina! I would love to meet you, but this year I am going to Spain for Christmas, so it will have to wait. I've refrained from writing in this thread, becuase either I would have to make a list as long as Cristina's, or I would have to decide on just a couple of names amongst many. So let's just say that, since Cristina is basically a more lively, extrovert female version of me, I make her list my own, adding Cristina on it instead of myself. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

oooh Berlin.... I've not been there since, well, since before some of you were born. That's it, I'm in.
Now I know why I'd been thinking of brushing up my German - there is obviously a subliminal message going around! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't have G+, is there a HTLAL Facebook group? And I agree that regional meetups sound like a great idea. My list of people I'd like to meet: - Arekkusu - we could swap observations on hearing-impairment in language learning - Polish team members - I'd be happy to help them with Polish - Solfrid Cristin - 'nuff said ... and some more, I believe. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Moses: my favourite poyglot because of his cool attitude and lack of fear to be himself. I'd like to be more
like him. Khatzumoto: I'm just in awe of this guy. Cainntear: just liked him and he was also very interesting. Iversen and Chung: language nerds I could pump for info. I have the strong suspicion that, like me, they're more curious about how different languages are put together than anything else and that learning them is just a pleasant byproduct. Prof A: my second favourite polyglot, just love him. mrwarper: as with SF's reasons. James29: is he as nice in real life? EMK: love his honesty. As with James29, I wonder if he's as nice in real life. Clugston...ha ha, just kidding about this one. I'd probably end up telling him what a c*** he is and get beaten up.

Thanks to Chung, Bao and tarvos as well! It's mutual, of course :) I would also really love to meet Zimena. She's not posted that much yet, but we know each other really well outside the forum and I love speaking with her about languages (and football ♥ and everything else in the world, really ;)) A special mention to the people I've already met before and will be happy to meet again: Leopejo, Gosiak and espejismo. And finally... I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. Amerykanka, Cavesa, Evita, Expugnator, fabriciocarraro, geoffw, Henkkles, iguanamon, Iversen, jeff_lindqvist, Julie, Kerrie, kujichagulia, Medulin, montmorency, renaissancemedi, sans-serif, tanya b, Via Diva, Volte. You know what we have in common :) Wait, this wasn't final yet. There are also people whose posts I love even if there's not quite as much overlap between our (focus) languages. They are Arekkusu, Ari, emk, kanewai, Sprachprofi and zecchino1991. Thanks for being part of this forum! 9 persons have voted this message useful |
