A few years back I started learning Albanian. To start off with it was a tough game!! Truly.
Anyways, I nearly gave up. But firends convinced me to keep going. So now.

Am proud speaker of Albanian. I even managed to go all through Kosovo without any difficulties and with many an interesting discussion!
Just thought I ought to let all those who are still at their beginning of learning that beautiful language know that it is well worth continuing. Greatest help I got was the skillcruiser. Great audio courses. I have since learnt French and Spanish with them too.
I was really relieved to have found something that worked for me after having spent so much time, trying to find a course that is worth something. So thought I might share...
