Even for 100 hours, I would need to be motivated. I’d need a good reason. And so it’s important to choose a suitable language.
Overhearing another staff member being coached to give a speech in Maori as part of some professional development gave me thought. Knowing Maori would certainly result in spin-offs.
I’ll do it. I’ll start in 3 weeks (after the next short course). I’ll gather resources (Maori is not one of the 74 languages into which Harry Potter has been translated).
Finally, a good quote: A foreign language is foreign only you are not yet familiar with it!
