Cherokee Language Links

I found some really great sites for learning Cherokee:

http://www.nativenashville.com/tutor_syllabary.htm Helps you learn the letters.

http://www.cherokeeobserver.org/language/language.html A newspaper that prints in English and Cherokee. Some phrase lessons and sample bi-lingual texts.

Great Resource for Native Alaskan Languages

I visited Alaska last summer. If you get a chance to go check out the Native Heritage Museum in Anchorage. It's incredible! Lots of interesting sites and a wealth of materials on Alaskan Native Americans. Here is part of their website that has some language games for learning some of the languages like Tlingit spoken in the Juneau, Alaska area. All free and really great quality:

Cute Czech Site

I ran across this site that is basically a series of pictures illustrating nouns and verbs etc. Very basic but well done and simple to use. Great idea for anyone starting out learning Czech.

Interesting Hungarian Links

I was curious about learning a little Hungarian and found some interesting sites:

http://www.magyarora.com/english/lunchbreak.html - It's free and seems to have lots of text samples, vocab and grammar on it. Also has sound files for pronunciation etc.

http://www.eulanguages.net/html/ArcMagazineDet.asp?IDArt=51 - Now this one is really neat. Completely free they are teaching Hungarian, Danish and looks like they will soon have Spanish and Arabic. Sample dialogs with sound, exercises, the whole ten yards. Better than a lot of software programs out there right now - I love it!
