This is super cool man! I live here in Hawaii but nobody speaks that here! lol, best chance of finding natives would be going to Lanai. You're beating a lot of the natives here (which is EXTREMELY SCARCE). Which is kind of funny NOBODY speaks Hawaiian in HAWAII

@PathogenProductions nobody there speaks Hawaiian???

I have a great deal of courses on cassettes and I find that I save time by simply digitizing my cassettes in the first place and cutting them up and making mp3s out of them. I do this with a male-male audio cable, the line in port on my laptop, a cassette player, and the free audio editing program audacity. It takes a while, but in the end you save all the time of rewinding and finding your spot and whatnot. It's a good investment for a language learner, especially if you like vintage courses.

@stephen0491 Yea, that's one thing I didn't do- I didn't use the video editor to break up the files.

Nice addition to your collection dude!

[laoshu505000]

@daysin1234 I'm hungry for more man

@laoshu505000 It's nearly an extinct language man! >.< You'd be lucky to find anyone who's half Hawaiian here. Mostly Japanese like myself here now. haha

@etyen100 Warlpiri, Arrente, Kala lagaw ya and Western desert language are still widely spoken =].

@laoshu505000 Yeah, $1.50. We have a few huge used bookstores around the area, and huge foreign language sections. I usually go through and grab any books that seem harder to find, or interesting. Usually they're all under 5 dollars, usually only 1 or 2. I mostly have bought phrasebooks there, but a few textbooks come up now and then.

[stephen0491]

Which is cheaper than the program Moses mentions, for those of us who are frugal.

@qzchris alright thanks. ill look into that. i herd that only 1000 characters make up 90% of the language and 250 is 60% of the language, is this true?

[qzchris]

@payaprice3 I recommend a book called "Learn to Write Chinese Characters" by Johan Björksten". It'll run you through stroke order and aesthetics, including the correct technique of writing each individual stroke. I used it when I started to learn written Chinese, and it's been a real help.
