The best book I've read in 2024 I think

@TheUntranslated Жизнь и судьба (Life and fate) by Vasily Grossman

Even if you're not interested in the particular languages, it makes sense to look around and see how much can be done by a really small team or even a single person who cares about language teaching more than engagement farming or attracting advertisers and investors... #langtwt

ankataa.com - your go-to website (and Youtube channel) for Manding varieties (geared mostly toward Bambara and Dioula, but systematically expanding). A nice dictionary, grammar clearly explained and lots of cultural context in the videos @ankataa_project

🎉Just finished JLPT N4 grammar points set on Renshuu! Good reason to break my silence for a bit of 📢 PSA:
👉there are independent language-learning sites out there which offer much more than popular apps
👉it makes more sense to support small teams than big platforms

@p82668 Też zwróciłem na to uwagę. Mam tam trochę nagrań z YT (np. mansyjski od tego kolegi: @Federation1323/playlists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@Federation132…) i to może być część wyjaśnienia

Very good news indeed! The first ever learner's manual for Circassian *in English* (not that there's a lot of them in other languages - off the top of my head I can only think of a single one, written in Turkish but translated into Russian)

Very excited to announce my friend, Larisa Tuptsoko, and I have just signed with @hippocrenebooks to publish "Beginner's #Circassian (Adyghe)" next year! This will be the first ever learner's manual for Circassian, one of the most fascinating languages in the world!

Already pre-ordered, can't wait to get the book
(and can't believe how long it's been since I last studied Chechen)

My textbook with @KhedaGa, “Beginner’s #Chechen” is out in May with @hippocrenebooks. Don’t forget to pre-order! amazon.com/Beginners-Chec…

Burmese by Ear is lovely and I still have it on my mp3 player (yes, I still have an mp3 player)
You can have a listen e.g. here:
