Pimsleur is a much easier course, learning words and not getting as involved with losing the American accent and understanding the grammar.yomamma said:Mine's not that detailed!

You finished your language?loseyourname said:Ke Aleman nnaboiro, and I'm the only one.

Well hopefully you won't use any vocabulary that you haven't invented yet. :rofl:loseyourname said:No, but I could hold a conversation as long as it didn't require any vocabulary I haven't invented yet (theoretically, anyway; as the only speaker I'd need to hold a conversation with myself).
Yeah, it sounds like fun.The grammatical and syntactical structures are decided and all. One proto-language and one sister-language and I'll be done. I've even begun with the mythology and the history to support it. You never realize how much a language reveals about a culture until you start doing this stuff. It's quite exciting.

Hurra! Han snakker norsk; så gøy!vanesch said:Dutch (native), fluent: French and English, slightly less fluent but still ok: German. Some notions of Italian, Japanese and Norwegian (I followed courses in these languages and at a certain point I could have a simple conversation, but that's long ago and I don't think much is left now).
