Finnish, English, Norwegian, Russian, one thing in German. Hm. I need to remedy this.


May I suggest:

Learn useless Northern Sámi
Samu opettaa Sinulle Viroa!
Märjj opettelee kanssasi koltansaamea
Opi Neetan kanssa inarinsaamea

2/4 I had liked already. I just don't get the things in my feed for some reason.

I don't do facebook. My twitter feed has English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Ladino, and Catalan, Occitan, French, Russian and Japanese occasionally.

The occasional tweet in Catalan and Occitan is interesting. Catalan is a bit more transparent to me than Occitan. I can make out French more or less. The Russian tweets are fun because I get to practice my Cyrillic alphabet. Japanese, I have no chance at all!

The good thing about twitter is the 140 character limit. For quick browsing it's not too annoying to see the odd tweet or two in a language I don't know and am not studying.

My very few friends already think I'm crazy. If I like a page called "Learn useless Mokshan", they'll know for sure.

I get Portuguese, English and Arabic. Every now and then, there's something in Spanish.

That's a fantastic page! Mokshan is great, I love that almost ANYTHING can be personally conjugated.

Yeah, and sometimes there are posts in Italian, Dutch and Greek too...

FB algorithms. You could go to their page and either set that you want to receive all postings in your feed, or you could 'teach' the algorithms by going to the page frequently and commenting etc.

German, English, Japanese, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Dutch, Vietnamese, Swedish, Faeroese, Mandarin, Slovene, Bulgarian, Spanish, Catalan, French, Danish, Korean ... I'm too lazy to scroll on.
Often, the original post is in English, and in the comments people switch to their common first language.
