Q : Learning a language without a reason -- how to stay motivated???

A : I am not taking any sort of class in Old Norse, as a result I would not have any tests in it which I could confuse with my Croatian.
Q : Audio-Visual immersion resources for Latin?
A : Try going diving in the Mediterranean Sea. I here there are a fair amount of Roman shipwrecks there some of which probably have some immersed Latin in them.
Q : What do you look for in language exchange partners?
A : I usually do not poke around inside people. I was not aware "grammatical dissection" could get so... physical.
Q : Sam's Year of Reading Only Spanish...
A : ...he writes in English.
Q : I read old books ...
A : ... he says, while using language materials younger than he is.
