Oh hey, I should probably post this here too! I know there are at least a few Furtopians I've talked to who are trying to pick up various foreign languages.
So I'm helping to organize something called the 2010 Linguathon on Livejournal! Linguathon is like NaNoWriMo for languages, basically. It's a month-long challenge in which everyone first chooses a target language (or languages) to learn, and then tries to progress as far as possible in their language studies over the course of a month.
This year's Linguathon is running from
August 1st at 12 AM to
August 31st at 11:59 PM. Our Livejournal community is
here, and you can read my blog entry about Linguathon
here if you want more information. I think you need to have a Livejournal account to join the community or to comment, but even if you don't have one, you should feel free to follow along and participate on your own.
Come take a look! It'd be awesome if one or a few of you turned up.
