Just stumble across a website that puts out a monthly online journal (yay!
for online) devoted to the languages of the Indian sub-continent. It seems
many of the papers are written in English from a glance but it might be a
good way to get a stronger grasp on the languages of India from a linguistic
viewpoint.
One thing I always find interesting about academic discourse from a
linguistic standpoint on language learning and actually learning a foreign
language is that they can be quite different. About the same difference
as someone who can pick out and see great sports players but have no ability
themselves to excel in that sport.
Which one do I prefer? I’d prefer to actually interact in a foreign language,
play a sport, etc etc rather than just be able to talk about it.
