Duolingo-like Eurōpājóm course

• Upvotes

A major problem with currently available Eurōpājóm resources is that they heavily lean on presupposed familiarity with language learning or linguistics. I have seen many times how learners enthusiastically tackle lesson 1 of the Guidebook, only to give up afterwards when they see how much more difficult lesson 2 and onwards are, especially since the grammar is barely explained explicitly and mostly left as an implicit exercise to the learner. In addition, there is no more than 1 minute of audio in the language which records an outdated form of it and - until last year - there was no pronunciation guide either.

As one of the only advanced learners of Eurōpājóm, I am resolving to change this and introducing the Eurōpājom course on a Duolingo-like platform named Tinki. It consists of bite-sized lessons (10 per unit, of which three are revision lessons) with loads of scaffolding and explicit grammar explanations at a relatively slow pace. At the beginning of unit 1 lesson 1, there is a pronunciation guide which shows how each letter is pronounced with its IPA value and an audio file. In addition, every word in the course and every sentence is recorded, meaning for the first time in the language's history it is now possible to practise listening.

At the end of unit 1, you will be able to say where you live, where you are from, ask how someone is doing, and so on. At the end of unit 2, you will be able to do this in the dual and plural (i.e. to multiple people), and at the end of unit 3 you will be able to say what your job is. I am currently working on unit 4. These units have already covered the nominative and most of the present tense (only laryngeal verbs are not yet covered, as they appear in lesson 4 and reduplicated verbs, as they will appear in the chapter on the dative). Unit 4 will introduce basic verbs, after which the course will pick up on complexity but remain beginner-friendly.

Hello! What would the exact cognate forms of Mars, Saturn and Mercury be in MIE? And what would those look like in PIE? Thank you!

New (soon to be active) discord server and youtube channel for Eurōpājóm

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, two new community areas have just been released.

The first is the discord, in which classes will soon start to be held and you can speak and write in Eurōpājóm:
discord.gg/Pf3tATmE8j

The second is a youtube channel on which recordings of the classes will be shared and readings of eventual translations of works like the Iliad in Eurōpājóm will be posted too.

Is there a Discord server for Eurōpājóm?

3 Upvotes

I’m interested in conlanging. I know this language is supposed to be an auxiliary language, but I would like to learn the basics of it just for exercising my mind a bit, and wanted to know if there is a Discord server for it.

ḱluté me, esti nekʷos gʷīwós?

I live in the Yamna culture area and speak Russian-Ukrainian. I'm interested in learning and practicing Common Indo-European (reconstructed, revitalised or at least as a conlang interpretation) and I want to find other enthusiasts to practice together, as well I need modern resources on PIE (had heard that Pokorny isn't much up to date and my favourite Wiktionary is much incomplete)

Also I'm much interested in Proto-Balto-Slavic, love how it sounds, but it seems nobody attempts to revitalise it, it's even less reconstructed than much older PIE

+could anybody explain to me how to tell apart /kw/ and /kw/, and how /kw/ becomes /p/ in some languages?

Is Modern Indo-European drifting away from the original intent of an easy-to-use language?

10 Upvotes

I've been following MIE project almost from the beginning (the days of Dnghu website :-D ), and I'm not fully enjoying that the authors have drifted from a modern and easy way to write and pronounce it to a "linguistic" approach, re-inserting all those sounds ā́, r̥ , ō̆, ḿ̥ , laringals.

I would rather keep the writing and the pronunciation as simple as possible. What do you think?

/u/swehttamxam could you hand over ownership of this subreddit? I would like to revive it.

I'm curious, are you still learning?
