Adventures of Learning a Less Widely Learnt Language Part 2

 

And a few tips to get you started!

I Apologise for the sound glitching in places. It only seems to do it when uploaded to YouTube? Any tech people out there who might know why feel free to write me 🙂

Ed and I talk about our experiences with learning languages that are less commonly learnt on a worldwide scale. In my humble opinion these are the best languages to learn, and for me the most fun! We share what we have found are the advantages and disadvantages of learning these languages, plus we share a few tips for getting started with your learning. We hope you enjoy this video and find it useful.
