i was looking for the book 아무도 편지하지 않다 and found this great resource.

Digital Library of Korean Literature

it's an online free resource that offers korean literature/media in multiple lanuguages to borrow to read. you will have to download the yes24 전자도서관 to read though.

i found the book i was looking for, the download process was really simple, and the library is really extensive.

Rare languages

I have been labeling my Dangme posts as #rare language without thinking about it much.

In grand scale it is rare, as in people outside Ghana have hardly heard about. But then again it has about 1 020 000 speakers so is it really that rare?

So what is your definition for a rare language? Not found in most language apps? Can't find a book about it in the library? Never heard of it so must be rare? (Comment)

And let's see if I can find more people who have studied languages with only few speakers:

Number of speakers of the language I study currently

100 million

1 million - 100 million (getting more interesting)

100 000 - 1 million (language geek?)

10 000 - 100 000 (seriously, this is rare in all defintions)

1 000 - 10 000 (you are on a noble quest)

1 000 or less (you need to leave comment, seriously)

not learnig languages / show me the damn results

Kisi ko kya khabar

Kisi ko kya lena dena

Ye dil kya kya se guzar jaata hai har pal

Lao Décheannach: le Laura Gilpin

Amárach, nuair a thiocfaidh na gasúir

ar an lao ar leith seo,

Clúdóidh siad a chorp le páipéar nuachta

agus iomprófar é go dtí an músaem.

Ach anocht tá sé beo

sa gharraí thuaidh lena mháthair.

Is tráthnóna foirfe samhraidh é:

an ghealach ag éirí thar an úllord,

an ghaoth san fhéar.

Agus é ag stánadh ar an spéir

Tá dhá oiread níos mó réaltaí ná mar is gnách.

Two-Headed Calf

Tomorrow, when the farm boys

find this freak of nature,

they will wrap his body in newspaper

and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive

and in the North field with his mother.

It is a perfect summer evening:

the moon rising over the orchard,

the wind in the grass.

And as he stares into the sky,

there are twice as many stars as usual.

Translation to Irish by me :)

Oggi era il primo giorno del mio stage d'estate. Sono tutti molto simpatici e tante cose da fare (forse troppi tra cui scegliere). Sono entusiasta di cominciare sul serio!

What’s one piece of advice you wish you could tell your past self when you started studying languages?

I love how I keep seeing people who are studying languages while eating fresh fruit with sleek laptops in a cafe while I'm using a hand me down chromebook from my sister and drinking orange soda in a dark room wondering what the difference is between ses, se and son
