I love this language so much. I've just spent a LOT of money ordering resources for learning and so I'm going to be studying it seriously in the next few weeks. But I have no idea how far I can ultimately get learning my bedroom in New Zealand!

Perhaps this would be the occasion to hook up a few Greenlandic speakers wishing to practice English with some learners with Skype? Don't we have a thread for that somewhere?

If you are a real nerd, you must learn it the nerdish way.

Begin by learning everything you can find in the wikipedia article about Greenlandish. And then read through every scientific article you can find about Greenlandish in the Internet.

I may just have to resort to that. I'm considering the "Sentence Method", which will involve the sentence-mining of as many linguistic articles as I can find! One good thing about them is that they provide, as a matter of necessity, example sentences for the grammatical areas that are being investigated or are in question. An admittedly dry source of sentences, but it should useful nevertheless, years down the road when I get beyond the measly beginner's level.

Hi, I'm very glad to see this thread, because I've been learning Greenlandic for a while.
A very difficult, yet interesting language indeed.

May I ask how on earth you ended up speaking Greenlandic as a native language? That
fascinates me.

Sorry, I didn't mark Greenlandic as my 'native' language, but I've been learning it for
about 2 years and already able to say something.. but it's really hard to master the art
of the Greenlandic language, everything is absolutely different than in our "Euro-Asian"
languages where phrases are split up into words in a very similar way.
