I understand that some languages can have upwards of 200 different dialicts (as in speach patterns not robotic villians). That would mean that a good chunk of the populantion can only be understood in their local area. I'm sure there are hundreds of dictionaries out there, but I think the best way to learn is from the culture itself. My father spent two years in Scottland as a youngn man, so growing up we got to hear stories and meet friends of his from there. I had a chance to study Russian in secondary school and college, as well as live in SW Russian doing religious service for two years. It was a wonderful experience and I wish I had done study abroad when I was in college. The Internet provides lot of oppurtunities to learn more.

@Imp - probably the same way that I, who is slightly dislexic, and another person who is slightly dislexic were able to work together. I read off a number to her, but mixed some of them up. When she wrote them down, however, they were correct.
