To sustain growth of I Kinda Like Languages, there needs to be a constant influx of content (especially language courses) into the site. My original idea was that people would help me out with that but while that does happen to some extent, that extent of that is not anywhere near what would be sufficient for it to take off on itself. That’s why I have to guarantee that there will be new content so that the site can grow and perhaps reach the tipping point. I have come up with a plan how to do that.

Courses are needed. Making courses is fun at times but it still takes work and dedication and I realized that these things don’t come by themselves. I had some free time in February and I have made new blog posts, edited the design and made new courses (which is fine), however, I had planned to make up to ten new courses while I only managed to get four. I also write to this blog but sometimes with gaps in writing. That’s not a way which would get me writing good and sustainable content and that’s something that must also be changed.

I read about how persistence matters and that’s why I decided I will do the following starting today:

Expect at least one new introductory course and at least two blogposts per week from me on I kinda Like Languages every week starting now. Until I tell you I will stop, that is. I was thinking on raising that number to three but I guess two will give it a good start. One a week is also pretty good to keep it qualitative. It must either be a complete introductory course or a fair equivalent of it (an fair equivalent would be an alphabet course or at least 5 lessons of a basic course). This is only from me regardless of what other people post.

I also have a project which I believe would be really interesting to do and helpful to everybody but it requires quite a lot of time and thinking things through. I will probably postpone it still a bit and start worrying about it when we hit 20 courses in the labs (which will be another month if it’s only me who makes the courses).

Oh… and in case you were interested in my other endeavors apart from those of I Kinda Like Languages… Well, I will be learning Modern Greek starting March. I have already started looking into it and working on the alphabet. It will take more work than that. It’s a project which will likely take me six months and I will be glad to blog about it as well. That’s for the future, though. I have also been reading a book to learn some Latvian. It proved to be not difficult grammar-wise since I know Lithuanian but still challenging vocabulary-vise. I am still thinking whether I should continue that task and perhaps try setting reading a couple of articles in Latvian every week or finding some other way to practice the language as a long term project. It is tempting but it would distract me from the other stuff I do and I still plan to get to Latvian eventually so perhaps I will refrain. Or maybe not… I am still pretty sure I will be making posts about Greek, Latvian, languages in general and adding a lot of courses and other content.

If you have any experience with Modern Greek, Latvian or a suggestion or two about the way you would like to see updates in this site please write a comment and I’ll be glad to answer it! And stick with us for the fun to come. :)
