I have to give other people a reason to engage. I have to create content in those other languages to the best of my ability. With climate collapse constantly being on my mind and mass extinctions of language present, there is another front. I would even argue it is the most popular foreign language mode, regardless of the language. Don’t get me wrong, mediocre conversational fluency IS an accomplishment to be proud of. The languages of my heritage – Hungarian, Swedish and Yiddish – were first priority, in addition to ones related to my games (Greenlandic) or places I’ve dreamed of visited (languages of Polynesia).Īnd I decided that if I needed to sacrifice mediocre conversational fluency in many others, then so be it. In Summer 2019 I made a choice for me to focus more on my favorite languages. I may indeed return, especially if I get comments requesting particular pieces or problems. I am very grateful for that and that is precisely why I need to head on to other projects. I have gotten messages from many people throughout the globe saying that this website was the reason they chose to learn indigenous / Pacific / Jewish / Nordic languages. But looking at this patchwork site I see great mirth, great distress, and a slice of my life that I have devoted myself to. There is no intention on my behalf to delete any of the content (although, no doubt, I think that some of my content has not aged particularly well). But I think I’ve done enough exploring and I think that now I have other duties.Īllow me to be clear – I AM keeping this site live. There have been many successes I have had (Fijian, Burmese, English Creoles), many failures (Tumbuka, perhaps Greenlandic in a sense, Tuvaluan). Since 2014 I’ve been writing on this page semi-regularly.
