Greenlandic, Inuktitut

[lusentoj]

Hey, I've just started trying to learn Greenlandic and would really like a friend who could help me out (fluent speaker or fellow learner). Considering they're all just dialects of each other, if you know Inuktitut or something and I could learn that for a while then switch to Greenlandic afterwards, I'd still be really thankful.

So far I've been taking suffix meanings from Inupiaq, grammar lessons from Inuktitut and then practice material / dictionaries from Greenlandic and trying to piece everything together while only really having newspaper articles for practice. It's going really, really slowly! Even if you can't help, if you have friends you can ask or something I'd be really grateful! I'm very open to using other sites, Email or even snail-mail (in case you can only find someone's grandma) for communication too.

I've learnt smaller languages before (Icelandic/Faroese, Chinook Jargon) so I know it's possible even with almost no resources and while having no clue what you're doing (these days I have a lot bigger of a clue since I actually know about grammar and stuff), and I'm slooowly making progress, but still it'd just be SO much faster if I could find a cooperative fluent speaker!! Friending you back!

I'll go read about Quechua now! Are you having any problems in particular or is it just "everything" right now? ;_;

Well it's the first time I'm learning a language with so many suffixes which throws me off, but the main problem is the lack of a good dictionary and not having many written resources. Luckily there is a daily news show so there is one really good audiovisual resource at least!
