Going to post random stuff here :)
For anyone interested, Gallego is the language of Galicia. It's closer to Portuguese, even though the region is in Spain. (https://www.omniglot.com/writing/galician.htm)
There is a Galician nationalist newspaper published in Gallego: El Correo Gallego. (http://www.elcorreogallego.es)
For anyone interested in learning Spanish, Duolingo is a great primary.
If you are interested in intermediate or learning by immersion, you might want to look into reading some essays by Juan Donoso Cortez; Spanish author, conservative and Catholic political theorist, and diplomat.
Counter-currents posted an article about him (https://www.counter-currents.com/2010/12/juan-donoso-cortes/)
For learning purposes, here is the complete text of "Essays on Catholicism, Liberalism and Socialism" in Spanish.

@everyone Rosetta Stone is charging $7.49 for a 24 month subscription. Great deal! (https://www.rosettastone.com/lp/sbsr/febpause749/?cid=af-cj-gr-febpause749bof&utm_source=commissionjunction&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=febpause&utm_campaign=textlink)
Is Rosetta Stone any good though?
That’s incredible! I’ve only used pimsleur. Have you had success with RS?
Rosetta Stone is fantastic! My dad has the German program and LOVES it!
But can he speak/hear
?
If you're not looking to spend any money, duolingo is also a fantastic program
Is it like pimsleur where you can just listen to a lesson on the way to work?
@Deleted User Yes. He's on an intermediate level currently.
@Olivia M I'm not sure about that. He has it for a desktop. Great question though. 😃
@Deleted User Yes, Duolingo is fantastic.
Duolingo is good.
I enjoyed Duolingo it worked reasonably well for what it was.
my sister is a langage teacher and she's recommended Duolingo
I've also been learning Gaelic simply by memorizing songs and poems, but it doesn't necessarily work well for conversing
I taught myself Dutch using duolingo. Excellent app if you're on a budget.
