How to use these pages

Which language should I start with?

If you already read a Romance or Germanic language, Russian/Slavic gives you the most familiar grammar concepts wrapped in a new alphabet. If you love logic and puzzles, Korean's Hangul was designed to be learned in a day. If you want the biggest real-world payoff per hour, Mandarin or Arabic reaches the most speakers. Icelandic and Navajo are the "challenge modes" — learn them because they are fascinating, not because they are easy.
