That sounds like so much fun! And Finnish is a langaguge I've been kinda interested in. However, I don't think I will have enough time for Finnish studies as I will be studying in Hong Kong by then, learning both Cantonese and Mandarin as well as studying other subjects. I will definitely think about it though! When do we need to decide? Also, to me 45 hours in one month sounds like a lot, especially for us who study or work and who study other languages as well. Is it possible to decrease the amount to at least 1 hour a day?

Serpent, what can you tell us about standard language vs. spoken language?
I think 45 hours is a balance between 1 hour a day, which wouldn't likely yield very satisfactory results and wouldn't allow anyone to do more on days when they happen to have more time, and 2 hours, which starts to be too much. Basically, it's an hour a day most days, plus some extra time on the weekends if you're going to meet a tutor or partner. I don't even know if I can do that much on regular days, but I do expect to do more on weekends, and I'd hate to find that I could devote more time and not be able to! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That would negate any mention of awesome, and I'm not sure I'd be ready to go that far. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Everyone does what they think is best. I'll use Assimil, Anki, possibly Knuckles in Chinaland... By the way, I tried to send you a private message and your forum mailbox is full. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Very interesting challenge. In fact, you got me so interested that I went on to read the Wikipedia article on Finish, although I will not participate as I don't want to get distracted from my current target languages.
One thing though, I think that 45 hours is not enough to really demonstrate a significant difference between methods. Assuming everyone starts from scratch then everyone should still pretty much be at A1 level. If you did, say, 150 hours over 3 months then perhaps you could make a comparison. 1 person has voted this message useful |
