I’ve been wasting so much of my time with a different number of language-related activities that I thought it’s high time I set some personal rules to help/force me along the way…

When it comes to Amerindian languages, I’ll settle with Tupi (with Guarani being a passive companion because of the interesting parallels one can draw from it).
