Faroese on Duolingo?
Personal background: I study computational linguistics/information systems and am doing a project on similarities between texts. I would like to include Faroese in the analysis, which would mean that I would need to learn Faroese. That's totally fine and is something I want to do anyways, but resources for English speakers wanting to learn Faroese are limited.
My plea: The duolingo (http://www.duolingo.com) community has wanted to see Faroese for English speakers added as a language track for a while now, but unfortunately, they have had some issues in terms of getting individuals fluent enough to help with the process.
I would really love it if anyone who speaks Faroese and is reading this would consider applying to help create a Faroese for English speakers track (http://incubator.duolingo.com/ - you apply on the Incubator).
I personally have no idea how it works from there, to be honest, but from my understanding you work on a volunteer basis at your own pace. I believe you are able to place the courses in without needing any programming experience, though.
It would really mean a lot to me personally and the duolingo community as a whole if some current Faroese speakers would consider helping to create this. If I can help in any way, please let me know.
