I'd really like to get into learning North Sámi but I'm honestly struggling to find resources. I'm really not sure where to start. Can any of you help at all?

Guys, I think I'm going to start another language...

All my other languages are kind of similar, at least a little, in that they are all Germanic languages, except for North Sámi which I never really got into much anyway. -sad face-

Now I'm branching out though, and have decided to try something completely different... Asian Languages! I have a friend who is advanced in Japanese so it might be a sensible option to try Japanese with the help and knowledge from my friend but apparently I like to do things the hard way and have decided to try Korean instead. 😊 As of right now I don't know the first thing about Korean and I don't know anyone who does. So... Wish me luck! I'm going to need it. 🤣

If you have any langblr suggestions for Korean please point me in the right direction.

Thank you.
