Adriene, I am going to miss this over the summer. Have you considered keeping it rolling in podcast form?

Wow, I spent years looking for that Sigur Ros song which was how they ended their shows, before they finally released it

I have enjoyed this show so much. Very reassuring in some way.

Adriene, have you ever heard the FM pirates of Flatbush? Many of them broadcast in Haitian Kreyol or French. Some interfere with WFMU, in fact. You might find this interesting:

Krys O.:

I'll never forget when I dreamed in French during my six-week stay in Paris. Immersion was the best way to learn. I spoke Polish until I was three years old at home with my family and then learned how to read English.

fred:

I never listened live before, but I wanted to say goodbye, hoping you'll be back someday. Archives are not the same when the show isn't on anymore

northguineahills:

@Krys O, it usually take me 3-5 days to remember speakable Quebecois or Mexican Spanish, so, by the time I can speak it, it's time for me to go back home....
  6:17pm
adriene:

@Ike I haven't had a chance to really explore and listen to that map yet - thanks for the recommendation the Harian Kreyol stations are definitely an incentive to start!

adriene:

@ultradammo I should be back in September with new places to visit. And if you have anything you'd really like to hear on the show let me know

I'll just relax as you do dial the radio, Adriene.

Cats have a language, for sure. About 100 sounds they can make.

Wow! Hearing that it's over for the summer, I've just now realized how much I love this program.
Thank you, Adriene, for what I think is a truly great show. I surely do hope to hear you again in the autumn.

Krys O.:

My dad had to speak in Russian when he talked to his youngest sister who lived in Belarus. She grew up under Soviet occupation in the region of Poland that my father's family lived. I would have conversations with my parents wherein I spoke English and they spoke Polish. We understood each other.

I’m not kvetching the show is gone with the summer schedule, but I am happy it has existed so far. Really great radio! Thanks Adriene.

@Krys: That's like the Spanglish I hear in NYC, the parents speak Spanish, and the kids respond back in English...

Krys O, that's very cool! I've seen/heard that sort of thing in films and over the fence in the backyard. Exactly, ngh.

LOL@ listener 126464! I forgot about that song!

(because I lived on an American base), it took me almost 3 years to speak passable Japanese as a kid. So, I could only use it the last summer I was there before I went back to the States.

I tried to learn Esperanto once but got lazy; still trying to learn Spanish...

I'm pretty sure The Residents made up a few more for Eskimo.
Avatar 6:37pm
northguineahills:

The confusing part about Esperanto, is that they combine the grammar structure of so many Indo-European language families (at least it's confusing for me). The vocabulary makes sense to me.

Glad to hear you'll be back on a future schedule! This has been one of the best new programs on FMU in years.

I concur. The adventurousness of this show is quite exciting.

@Krys: da! (errr.. tak!)

There's a nice dystopian series on Netflix where Poland and the Iron Curtain never falls. I've been hearing more Polish (and Russian), since I left Brooklyn.

I saw there's an ongoing attempt to revive Cornish; think I saw there are maybe 100 speaking...[?]

Furbish?
Avatar 6:50pm
northguineahills:

@TDK: Cornish went extinct in the 19th c., but, some academics made dictionaries from the elderly survivors. In the 1960s, there have been efforts to revive it based on other Celtic languages (especially Welsh), and now there are a few thousand considered conversational, and it's now taught in some schools and universities...

adriene:

You all are being too nice. I'm glad you've enjoyed the show (so far) I've really enjoyed sharing it with you! The show coming into this time slot is Indian Ocean World with Sonika which sounds like it will be a nice alternative.
