Italian is one of those languages I've never wanted to learn. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 20/09/2013 12:33:49 PM

You can always quibble of course with some of the translations and things that they do or don't accept, but it does seem fairly effective (I've been using it for Italian, more to test it than anything else as that's a language I wouldn't mind speaking but can't be bothered to put too much effort into).

Mostly because my desire to learn a language is directly correlated to a country's history and literature. And post-Renaissance Italian history is not one I am fascinated with enough to care too much about.

I do wish there were an app out there to help me learn a non-European language such as Japanese. But I haven't seen anything good.

There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read? - 20/09/2013 03:53:17 PM 864 Views
A quick question. - 20/09/2013 05:48:18 PM 858 Views
I think that is a very subjective question. - 20/09/2013 06:36:50 PM 827 Views
You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone - 21/09/2013 09:11:15 AM 884 Views
I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one. - 22/09/2013 04:26:11 AM 825 Views
I want to say it's in the late 3000s, early 4000s, but I'm uncertain - 22/09/2013 07:53:07 AM 794 Views
Yeah, I'm not finding it exactly - 26/09/2013 02:22:38 PM 892 Views
