Linguathon: Rumantsch

So there's this thing called the Linguathon Challenge ([livejournal.com profile] linguathon), which is basically "study a language of your choice every day for the month of July and post updates to the community for mutual support, and to see what you can achieve in a month".

It came just at the time where I had purchased a Rumantsch dictionary and was planning on learning a few phrases for my holidays in August, so I thought I'd participate with Rumantsch.

I can imagine that I'll also be posting in my journal. I considered making an opt-in filter, but I wanted to keep the entries googlable and open to people not on my friends list, so I'll probably just tag the entries "linguathon" and/or "rumantsch" and (when I think of it) lj-cut them so that people who aren't interested in updates (possibly not daily in my journal) can skip them more easily.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm supposed to be working more-or-less independently on Albanian this summer, and I think this will be something good to keep me on task.
