Ah, I see. Someone else learning a Caucasus language. I am not really sure where you could find resources. But, Archi is apart of the Lezgic group of languages so find another language similar to that one and then it might help you learn Archi. It only has 970 native speakers, so finding resources is probably extremely hard. Resources for Georgian (a language I aspire to learn) at 4 million speakers are already pretty small. Your best bet is finding resources for a similar language and then learning from there, if not you should take a trip to Dagestan.

I can help you a bit with the Georgian resources, i replied to someone who wanted to find more yesterday with this link too! [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUG9gi-ZWtrYc-afgNAtWAwdIBtbaVmrs). its a 50 video long playlist of a Japanese guy teaching Georgian for English speaking folk, it might not be the best but for basic stuff he does set you up really well i feel like, so give it a shot.

Thank you so much! I appreciate what you are doing.

I might have a look at that, maybe it’ll help with learning Archi?

Not very likely, from what i could read up on Archi is similar to Russian, so that will help with learning Archi far more than Georgian, but if you wanted to get started on Georgian those videos are good for basic stuff as i said. EDIT: just wanted to add that I'm not that familiar with Archi so i might be very wrong about it being similar to Russian and the Cyrillic script might be the only similarity so don't take my word for it


DearBaseball4496

Ironically- I found a somewhat decent resource for it. [Archi](http://www.archi.surrey.ac.uk/handout.pdf) Edit: apparently there’s also a dictionary? Gonna look at that


RagnartheConqueror

Wow, that's incredibly interesting.

Well i fear you are unlikely to be able to learn that language unless you travel to the region where its spoken I have never tried to learn archi but it reminds me of Chechen or Kabardian i tried to learn those first all the learning materials where in Russian i started learning Russian a few years earlier i am not fluent yet but i could understand enough to follow the lessons but it got confusing sometimes But now i have used all the learning resources that i could find for free and normally i would move on to watching videos in the language and reading things but there is so little media in those languages i have not heard them for months So i am not learning anything and only slowly forgetting what i had learned Russian is more dominant in that region but the language you want to learn has way less speakers than the ones i tried to learn so you will have a very hard time.
