the problem with learning a language is that there is no way to use intelligence. it doesnt reward being brainy. its purely a memory operation. it rewards brute repetition. i would go as far as to say it favours a certain dullness of mind. a lack of vitality and life.

This course will help you immerse yourself in Finnish language and culture. Learn Finnish and find out why Finns consistently rank among the happiest people on earth. Expand your vocabulary with words like pöllöpäällikkö or “owl chief” and learn to feel just a little bit closer to the glow of the northern lights, the natural beauty of Lapland, and the magic of a Midsummer sauna.

Learn Welsh, a once dwindling historic language spoken in Wales that is now thriving again. Thanks to recent public efforts, today Welsh is taught in schools and spoken by over 1 million people including Catharine Zeta-Jones. Enjoy a Welsh national union rugby game in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and join passionate fans as they cheer on their favorite team. The national park Snowdonia in the north of Wales offers breathtaking views and attracts nature lovers from around the world. Don't miss the "Chairing of the Chief Bard" at the annual National Eisteddfod festival which celebrates poetry, music, song and dance.

Hi! The difference between "Ho" and "Ha" is that you must use "HO" ( as "I HAVE") when YOU are speaking. Example. "I have a bad day" is "Io HO una brutta giornata". We use "HA" (as "He/she/it HAS") when someone else (HE/SH/IT) is speaking. Example. Lucy has a bad day" is "Lucy HA una brutta giornata". I hope you've understood! ;)

Something like this maybe? I got the Spanish version when I was learning and it was really helpful.
