  • di mattina, di pomeriggio, di sera, di notte (sempre dimentico la preposizione adatta)

Nuevas palabras – 2014-06-02

Algunas palabras que aprendí o recordé recientemente:

 

Føroyskt

After some time of consideration I decided to take on Føroyskt. I’ll be using the following material:

  • Faroese A Language Course for Beginners Grammar & Textbook (with audio)
  • An Introduction to Modern Faroese
  • Stutt mállæra

as well as the help of a colleague who lived in the Faroe Islands for some time and is willing to somehow keep his Faroese alive. I hope my knowledge of Swedish comes in handy.

Well, that means I’ll be taking Albanian, Telugu and Faroese concurrently. Sounds a lot of fun to me 🙂

 

తెలుగు

Although I have already learned most of its alphabet, I’m now oficially starting to study Telugu. This is my first time learning a Dravidian language, so I guess it will take me some time to get used to it. However, I’ve been watching a few Telugu films, especially మాయాబజార్ (Mayabazar), and I am already in love with this language.

I’ll be using a few old books found on archive.org, such as:

as well as youtube videos, especially news channels (such as Tv9) and the website http://www.learningtelugu.org/tutorials/let-us-speak.html. Of course I’ll be watching Telugu films as well,  as Telugu film industry is one of the largest in the world.
