Now that it’s kind of official, I am delighted to say that I’ve received a seed funding grant from @seeFField @uni_regensburg to try & develop a larger project on “Housing & Living in Urban Transylvania in 18th-19thC”, courtesy of the @VolkswagenSt! (A house interior in Pompei) #skystorians #18thC

This kind of feedback is the fruit of our work at SeeFField — the initiative that made possible the very first and still the only university-level courses for Albanian heritage speakers in the German-speaking world.
We’re not just filling a gap — we’re changing the game.
Good to see that the University of Regensburg is including both standard and dialectal Albanian in its classes. I know of many dropping out of Albanian classes because standard Albanian was not immediately relevant to them when dealing with relatives/in-laws from Kosovo.
