Fascinating! Jeff, I would not be surprised if, before opening this discussion thread, you conducted a search of the HTLAL for this language. Nevertheless, for the benefit of others who might wish to explore the archives, I just conducted my own search and have listed what appear to be the most relevant threads:
Greenlandic profilehttp://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8857&PN=1Colloquial Greenlandic (Routledge)http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30181&PN=42. I checked Routledge's website and, alas, they have not yet published such a course.
Assimil Greenlandic (sic)Not really the title of this discussion thread; however, there seems to have been a request that Assimil publish such a course:
http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9566&PN=1:
"I once rather stupidly requested a Greenlandic course, but Icelandic is certainly one worth publishing, and one I would definitely use and have been hoping for. You have my support also!" I just checked Assimil's website and such a course is not yet listed.
Learning Greenlandichttp://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23632&PN=54. I would assume that
Fasulye's comment
"I would guess that many of the resources for learning Greenlandic are written in Danish. So I would assume that a reading knowledge of Danish would be helpful to learn Greenlandic." has some merit. Perhaps
Iversen would know more about this.
Icelandic and Greenlandichttp://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5529&PN=26. An interesting discussion thread wherein the following observations were made:
"It may be a bit late to answer, but I really can't help... Greenlandic is beyond all comparison. Yes, Greenlandic is rather logical, indeed, but with its own logic, and its structure is much different from indo-european languages' structure. It is true that Icelandic is a difficult language, but it is easier to learn than Greenlandic. For someone whose language is indo-european, the vocabulary of Icelandic is easier to learn than the one of Greenlandic, but above this, the syntax of Icelandic is much closer. I've been studying Greenlandic for almost one year, and I'm hardly able to write 2 or 3 correct sentences. Not to mention the pronounciation" and
"Greenlandic's probably as hard as Japanese, but at least you get too use Roman letters."
Greenlandic threadhttp://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21373&PN=40&TPN=3. Hmm, at 65 pages and counting, I'll leave it to the numerous enthusiasts of Greenlandic to read and digest its contents.
Iversen’s Multiconfused Loghttp://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12983&TPN=330. He never ceases to amaze me ... seriously!
