Good luck Ruskivyetr! Don't feel intimidated by Finnish, that language is a refined and beautiful lady, not a witch!
Finnish is the other language that fascinates me. I decided to focus on Hebrew but I can't avoid watching Finnish stuff from time to time. Heck, maybe I should just stick to my original plan and learn both languages at the same time! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mitä kuuluu?
How are people doing out there. I've been reading over my textbook daily, and listening to the recordings. I've been pretty good at keeping up with at least some effort every day, though this vocabulary is hard to remember. (I did have a lot of trouble remembering Japanese at the beginning, so I'm hopeful my ability to retain words will improve like it did with Japanese.) I'm just today starting Chapter 2 of Teach Yourself. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I seem to be falling into is a system that's like a slow motion version of what Moses McCormick suggested. That is Teach Yourself, a phrase book, and a chat room. I did find a chat room where I found some Finns actually show up and voluntarily subject themselves to extremely confused Finnish. I might actually scare them because I can't even really construct sentences yet, but there you go. I find with studying Japanese also, that one chapter every two weeks of TY Finnish is about right. Not so much that I eat into Japanese too much, but I do feel challenged. I also have a vintage 70's copy of a Berlitz Finnish phrase book, and I've been browsing this for very simple sentences.
Amazon hasn't sent my Finnish Essential Grammar yet, but I feel like I have enough right now to work with anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

But Yoruba isn't a major language? It's in the list of top 50 world language whereas several of that list aren't. Or was the course not available yet when you got the rest of the courses? 1 person has voted this message useful |
