Only 10 languages in the rotation?! I seriously just thought "Das glaub ich wenn ich's seh!" Didn't I just see your name pop up in one of the threads discussing the Czech mission?

(very impressive, and motivating. I love it)

Wow, thanks! That's a thread I didn't think I'd seen before I saw my own comment on page 5 (written 11 years ago!).
HIghlights:
Arguelles: "I shadowed Assimil's older Russisch ohne Muehe for years"
On page 4, Chung lists some advantages (and some disadvantages!) of choosing Slovak over Czech.
There's an interesting line from the last post (by Theodisce) in the thread:
"If I was to draw a conclusion, I would say that 100 hours of listening to a language is a solid foundation upon which to build your knowledge, provided you already have a decent command of a Slavic language."
I wonder if this could be applied to other families as well. Is this something you're doing with your Bible app? You know the content inside out, so you could probably listen to (or read) a related language and gradually zone into it more and more.
