Faroese pronunciation
Having a hard time finding my way through Faroese orthography. Forvo for the win.
Already learned the names of the letters. This girl helped quite a lot:
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:
- A Progressive Grammar of the Telugu Language
- A companion to Progressive Telugu Grammar
- A Grammar of the Telugu Language
- Telugu in Thirty Days
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.
