I doth hath several requests, but I will choose only 2. I would like to learn modern demotic Greek and Hebrew (modern or Biblical) if at all possible.

I just rediscovered some posts on basic Italian I made for another forum few years ago, about articles and verb conjugation in the present and stuff. Would anyone be interested?

I was wondering if there are any “Hand-held Conlanging Guides” out there.

Allow me to explain what I want if you can’t infer from the name. When I started I was 110% new to linguistics and Conlanging. (and percentages apparently) Much like the art student who is given a blank sheet of paper and told “Fill it with your dreams!” it can be very overwhelming where to start, what to do and how to know when you’re done*.

I think it would be nice if there was something with steps, so that if you followed the tutorial 1 step 1 to step 50 you would end up with a fully-functional, coherent conlang. It might not be particularly interesting, but it would provide complete beginners like me learning the ropes.

Some example steps might be “Pick at least 1 from each of the following vowel categories: (/ y i u/ ) (/e ə ɛ/) (/a æ ɶ/)

I think the closest would be the Language Construction Kit itself....or this Workshop's packets: http://podcast.conlang.org/2011/08/reno ... materials/

    Mandarin
    Japanese
    Navajo
    Basque

I'd like to see some more general lessons like:
-Setting up IPA input on computers
-Introduction to sound changes
-Introduction to syntactic alignments

I could do some stuff for Navajo, but I'd need some help for grammar stuff, if anyone else is familiar with the language.

Hey guys, I found several more resources for Navajo, so if anyone still wants some Navajo lessons I'd be happy to write something up.

I happen to have had a lecture on that just this semester. As I'm in my vorlesungsfreie Zeit now, I think (because I don't have enough open projects ...) I'll tackle this one!

Correct.

vor-les-ungs-frei-e Zeit
front-read-N-free-ADJ.F time
"time free from lectures"

Vorlesung somehow never has anything to do with vorlesen which is reading aloud (vor- probably indicating the in-front-of-people-thing).

btw, just in case you didn't notice:

I wondered whether a short & stepwise beginner's guide to glossing may be helpful. Because I see some folks struggling with those and I myself found the Leipzig Glossing Rules not to be written in a very accessible way.
If there's demand for that, I'll be happy to procrastinate a little on my sound change guide and jump onto this one [xD].
