I am a learner of Albanian from Austria and have to admit it is a difficult language. However, there is also a lot of Latin based vocabulary. This makes learning much easier and also the conjugation patterns are straight forward. The most difficult might be the noun declension, but you get used to it as well. And I have to say that Albanians are very kind and helpful people, which makes learning a pleasure even though the language is a challenge. Much love and respect from your old allies in Austria. Rroftë Shqipëria!

If languages are seas of emotions, cultures, particles of past and glimpses of future, Albanian is an an ocean that narrates a story with every word and phrase.

Mirëdita nga Polonia. Po tentoj ta mësoj gjuhën shqipe por duhet të them që shqipja është njëra nga gjuhat më të veshtira në Evropë. Këtu në Poloni shumë njërezit duan Shqiprinë dhe shkojnë tek ju për pushim. Besoj që edhe unë do të vizitoj Shqiprinë këtë verë.

My great-grandmother was from Italy, but her native language was Albanian. She was from San Demetrio Corone, where it's still spoken by the locals.

I've studied Albanian for two semesters in Budapest. My professor was really happy to have me as literally no one else took the chance to study this beautiful language. Greetings from Hungary - and faleminderit for sending us over prof. Lala.

I'm ashamed that I know so much about countries and languages but really knew very little about Albania and its language. Very interesting that they ended up in Italy, particularly near where my people came from in Italy... wouldn't it be funny if I had Albanian blood, going way back?

I'm albanian and i decided to watch this video for fun and i have a message for the people who are learning the albanian language: i wish you the best of luck because albanian has to be the hardest language ever if ur not a native speaker.
