[request] we want to learn human languages XD #3007

What about this @adambard ?

adambard commented 6 years ago

A neat idea, but could probably be a separate website. I'll reserve judgement on whether or not it's a good idea until I see an example, but in any case, until someone actually bilingual contributes a LXIYM-style human language guide, there's not much I can do about it.

I like this idea. I'll work on a quick prototype today and send a link when I have something.

I think this project deserves its own repository. I have one started at https://github.com/wboka/learnxinyminutes-language-edition if anyone is interested. I think some linking between the projects would be a good idea 👍 . @adambard does this sound good to you? I don't want to steal this out from under you.

If we want to separate the two projects, I suggest moving this discussion to the new project to avoid cluttering up this code related project.

Here's the link to a quick prototype site using Jekyll and GitHub: https://wboka.github.io/learnxinyminutes-language-edition/

Go right ahead! I think you might need to shore up those tutorials before there's a lot of value to be had cross-linking though ;)

Great work @wboka

@adambard I'm removing this from hacktoberfest issues. Leaving it open now as a reminder for a possible cross-linking effort in the future.

My first time here at this repo; I find this idea to be great, myself

There are some languages (even commonly popular ones), aside from the difficulty of learning them, that are often difficult to attempt to learn in the first place because the materials and educator expertise to do so are more often than not locked behind a paid service such as textbooks subscription-based learning sites or ineffective language learning apps (for various reasons)

While these aren't (always) inherently bad, they often cause people initial serious about language learning walk away simply because: they can't afford to do so, the resource does too poor a job overall or has too many failing points, or in some particularly bad cases... just straight up is written like the author wasn't even bilingual and flunked through the text for profit
