Anyone on /his/ have experience with learning ancient Mesopotamian languages? I want to learn Sumerian or Akkadian but it seems next to impossible.

There's a really cool website that has a whole ton of resources for learning a bunch of different dead languages. I can't remember its name but ironically I do remember that it's short and something easy to remember.

They are dead languages, meaning you will not be able to speak them, as we can't be 100% sure of pronunciation and some other factors...

I know 2 archeologists who are able to read some of them. I hardly believe it's possible to learn them outside a university context and even if you get lucky and into a program you would still need to invest a lot of time to make it. On the other hand both of them got cool jobs now and the same is true for a friend of mined who learned to read some Egyptian hieroglyphs (from Roman times).
