As my lack of recent posts indicates, my language learning has hit one of those rough patches again. Actually, I am not too surprised. I seem to latch on to learning for eight to twelve, even sixteen weeks, and then I seem to shut down for awhile. Almost like a period of sleep.

But I sense a new morning is about to break. There is linguistic excitement in the air.

First, I have connected with a couple gentlemen also on the Norskklassen Yahoo! group. OK, all three of us would admit to having a rough start, due to extreme time differences. But we are eagar to learn.

Second, my local Sons of Norway lodge is preparing to dig in to the cultural skills programs, including language. And I know there is at least one other person interested to learn.

Yes, there is linguistic excitement in the air again. I can feel it.
