Thanks hotreds, yeah... nothing is expensive to me... I have an Internet connection.

I wanted to learn dozens of languages at one time as well. I still have a marginal grasp of what I call 'essential' Polish. You know, enough to eat, drink, find a woman, get around town, and get in fights. My Spanish is about the same but I understand and read it a hell of a lot better. My spoken Farsi is about the same as my Polish but I've lost all ability to read it. Japanese bored me quickly, also their culture bored me too, I'm just not a Nippophile. At one time I was going to join the Armed Forces as a cryptolinguist but my health got in the way.

As to the utility of the language, this isn't my goal. Basically I want to read and compose poetry in the language. More of a hobby than anything. I found a group locally that is meeting next Saturday.
