sadly reporting the friends cut

Greek is starting on Monday, I still have Hebrew brush-up to finish, and I am still working on the summer project and deep housecleaning. Fall classes begin after Labor Day, and I am carrying a full load. I have close to 200 people on my friendslist. Therefore, I have engaged in the ever-unpopular friends cut due to time constraints. Please don't take it personally if you were cut. I had to choose to keep the people whom I had been reading the longest or had the most personal relationships with. It was difficult to make this decision because I would rather keep reading everyone. I will be checking in quickly at various points throughout the day and hoping the page has not filled up with memes. If you would like to keep reading, please do. I will continue posting public posts when I can, and you are welcome to drop in when you like. I am available via email--my address is in my profile--though my responses may be delayed due to massive amounts of homework.

I still think that's very exciting that you are taking Greek. Amberielle is also taking Greek in school, and I often wish I could help her... at least I can help her with her Spanish.

I am very glad that you kept me on your friends list. I always look forward to your wise advice and kind words. You have become a very valuable friend to me!

Don't feel badly for friends cuts (though I know what you mean, I always have mixed feelings when I have to cut down on my list too. lol). Hebrew sounds exciting. I actually wanted to learn it (still do one day: It's on my list of 109492 things I want to do). I have a self-taught book here too, so one day...

I love languages. I know french, italian and spanish, and somehow Hebrew got on my list many years ago as something I wanted to learn. I think I am just fascinated with really old languages, and Hebrew in particular because it's linked to so much history. Good luck!

I studied French and Spanish a long time ago... I would like to find some good in-depth materials to brush up because both would be good research languages at the doctoral level and I could likely make a case for substituting Spanish for German since I have a strong interest in liberation theology. I'd like to pick up German one day, but it is behind Greek. I really love languages, and if I could make time for becoming good at several of them I would strictly for the purpose of enhancing my study and writing.

I have tons of spanish resources (both online and in braille). I think Spanish has been the language I've loved the most so far. It's a lot of fun to learn and practise. What are you using to learn Hebrew? My book is in braille, just because I figure online resources will be useless if you can't see the hebrew characters. I'd love to hear how you found good resources. (I got my hebrew book from JBI).

Oooooh, email me some Spanish resources...

I used Thomas Lambdin's book to learn Hebrew--got it from JBI. I've configured the Unicode table in JAWS for Hebrew braille, and it is mostly accurate. There are a few minor differences, but it is readable.
