Description
I want to present a talk about non-conventional resources for language learning. This will contain a brief overview of the “usual” ways people learn languages. Once that is done, I will look towards some of the more unique ways that I have found to learn languages. This will include etymology dives, making friends online, and how to find resources for obscure languages. I intend to share ways to utilize the internet and social media for languages that aren’t well represented in many of the apps. A majority of the talk will be in English, but I will be presenting certain ideas in the language that I use the resource in. While the following isn’t that far off from the regular methods, I will also mention types of books to read. This talk is aimed at those that are trying to gather material for a lesser known or less popular language.
