It's just about official now, Russian is the language of November. Danish might have better luck in December, or January at the least.

I'm sorry, but I can't make any sense at all of that pronunciation thing, or whatever that was.
If you would be so kind, would you indulge a language addict like myself about how those phrases grammatically fit toghether? Like, I want to know what all the little separate words in the phrase mean, why they are used that way, and any conjugations or tenses or any grammar that is used in it. If all that will be explained eventually, ignore this. I'm a bit ocd when it comes to things like this, and I want to know every little piece as well as possible!

In the main forum, the thread will be titled something along the lines of "November language of the month", etc. So we gonna get this thing movin' or what? The Jap thread still has activity and this one's going nowhere... Note: We might wanna sticky the current language of the month threads in good time, or else still-active language of the month threads from the past may bump it down.
