Herpy Ner Yer!
IMO, Italian is a great language you should add to your list, but… it's whatevs
I think I should try to find more ways to study my languages. There's the Colombo Lodge here that I could try and find somebody who'd be willing to let me practice my Italian with. What are some free ways you've learned your languages you could suggest? I need stuff to inspire me to actually follow my goals

Hahahaha, well, maybe in a way. Light Warlpiri is what its speakers call it. It's a mixed language basically made up of Warlpiri and the variety of English that they speak (and, to a lesser extent, Australian Kriol). It's only spoken in Lajamanu alongside English and the local variety of Warlpiri, and its speakers consider it simply another form of Warlpiri. It formed very recently, and sometime either last year or the year before, there were tons of news articles about how this "new language" had just been "discovered" (and whenever I saw those articles, I was like, "Really? I thought I heard about this language like months ago!" ).

Yeah, I guess you could say that. Each time I do it, I go through a little more of the story (one line at a time, though not necessarily one line per post). I try to figure out what each word means (to the extent that I can ).

Huh! Maybe we should do some analysis together one time .

Yet another challenge for me would be to extend what I do for these languages beyond just posting on UniLang. I've used other means to learn languages before (after all, I've been learning languages as long as I can remember, but I only found out about UniLang shortly before I joined), and I've obviously used UniLang before, but I've never really used both. I would like to be able to do that.

Sarà mai il ceco sulla tua lista?
Non hai ancora trovato un lavoro, vijay?
How goes the improving of your languages too?
