Hello! How are y'all? This is a thread for us to talk in languages that we are learning. I hope y'all will use it.

These language textbooks don't dick you around. (2014-07-05 18:39:40) :
[quote Nessari][quote Matrix][quote Nessari]Point. Matrix, have you never read a shitty Teach Yourself LANGUAGE book?[/quote]
Correct.[/quote]
So you're saying you've never read a shitty language-teaching book? Seriously? I find that very hard to believe.[/quote]
To be fair, we know that most language-teaching books are shitty, and if you've never read a good one you may just be consigned to believe that that's just the way language-teaching books are.

Asked a linguist friend of mine what textbooks he'd recommend, and he gives the following:
[quote my friend]College Yiddish is a classic, but I'm also a big fan of Sheva Zucker's two-part Yiddish textbooks.
DeRijk, if that counts as a textbook, and Alan R. King's Elementary Basque or whatever it's called.
Genki is a beloved Japanese textbook for a reason, though I haven't used it much. I'm also a big fan of Learn Japanese the Manga Way, which is better as a reference text ...

Typological stuff on causatives? (2014-07-01 22:26:36) :
I think some more general stuff on voice would be cool too, no? Like Klaiman's Grammatical Voice?

[b]Modern Tibetan[/b]
"Manual of Standard Tibetan" by Tournadre and Dorje is solid. It's what we used in my first-year Tibetan course and the standard, I believe, for learners of Modern Tibetan. Lots of good grammar description, including appendices on differences between registers of Tibetan and dialects of Tibetan. Its descriptions of grammar in the lessons themselves are less linguisticky than the ones in the appendix but they are all usable, though watch out for its non-standard transcri...
