Would anyone be interested in doing this again?

Haha, no, but I just read through this whole thread and I really wanted to do it. It sounded fun! I would probably choose something like Icelandic or Romanian...or Hungarian or Finnish if it were to get going again. EDIT: On second thought maybe I shouldn't choose something so high on my hit list; I might just get hooked, and I really can't have that with all the work that I already have piling up. :) I suppose something like Indonesian, Lithuanian, Hebrew, Latin, Croatian, or Irish would be better, since I don't particularly feel like learning any of those seriously at the moment, whereas I definitely want to with those other four I listed.

I think I'd go with Swedish if we were to do this. I have a friend who also wants to
learn Swedish. We could partner up and become like Swedish sisters. Plus, it'd be rather interesting. The problem of course is what do with Russian... I am trying to commit myself totally to Russian and I wouldn't want Swedish to distract me from my darling. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have the same problem right now because I already have a bunch of languages that I'm working on, but I don't think that an extra 30 minutes for six weeks should be too much...
I've now narrowed my selection down to Hebrew and Croatian (or Serbian), and possibly Indonesian. Edited by ellasevia on 30 June 2010 at 5:53am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm in if we start some time between 1st of July and 8th of July... that's the range that
I intended to start on Arabic anyway, and I like the idea of doing some intensive work at the start. Also, I'm ready to provide materials and lead a Latin study group (with Skype meetings?) if there is enough interest. I taught Volte Latin in 3 very intensive days.

I am going to be in Tanzania from July 2nd until July 16th, so I might have to start bit later than others, or maybe we could all just start in like two weeks time instead, also so that more people could join in and have time to choose a language (and also so that I would be back from Africa and ready to study).
Your offer of a Latin course sounds very tempting, Sprachprofi... I've looked over the material a bit before and it looked really good. Would you be giving these lessons for free or would there be a small cost? 1 person has voted this message useful |
