I'm a Jamaican learning Haitian Creole, and it made me think about how many of us in the region don't really learn each other's languages. A few years ago I found out about Papiamento. I didn't even realize we had a Portuguese-based Creole before then. I know language is a polarizing topic and I was curious about people's thoughts.

I'm curious about people learning lesser spoken languages. For example, Hakka instead of Mandarin, Catalan or Quechua instead of Spanish, Ainu instead of Japanese, and other examples like that. How are you learning? And what's your experience like?
