so angelofthenorth is doing a café post thing for language learners, which I can't play in real effectively because I have zero percent confidence in my ability to construct sentences in anything but English, but which has reminded me that I want to learn languages
the one language I ever did get confident in my ability to construct sentences in is Latin, which is also (for perhaps obvious reasons) the only language where the curriculum began with declination and conjugation charts instead of basic sentences sans explanation of how the words went together. (the school where I took Latin I? didn't use the Cambridge books. if I'd moved to the school I graduated from one year earlier, the foreign language graduation requirement would have been fun, by which I mean hell.) does anyone have any ideas where I could find any (ideally free) course in any of my languages of interest that I won't bounce right back off of? French is probably the easiest ask here. maybe Gaeilge.
given the above and given the different script, does anyone have any idea where I could start with Mandarin?
