nibotI wonder whether we offer Navajo, or any other native american language, here at Berkeley?
Greenlandic is allegedly an Eskimoik language. It was taught at least once at Berkeley.
Interestingly there is an intensive Esperanto summer school offered at SFSU every year.
If the oft-cited existence of a zillion words for "snow" in "Eskimo" leaves you somewhat skeptical, check out this discussion of that urban legend.
Pasporta Servo is an international Esperanto `hospitality network' of people with whom you may stay, in every corner of the globe, for free. Provided you speak Esperanto. Maybe I will sew the Esperanto flag onto my backpack:
The Hospitality Club is a similar sort of thing except it has nothing to do with Esperanto.
Lernu is a brilliantly designed site for learning Esperanto. I only wish other individuals were as motivated to produce such beautiful [free, online] learning tools for other languages. Try it out, even if you aren't interested in Esperanto. And if you are, the Ana Pana course is an excellent complement to the Free Esperanto Course mentioned earlier (I'm on lesson 5!).
In the world of computer languages, we can now compile Scheme to Java. Nifty! (the article primarily talks about compiling Java to native binary, which is also handy... but not quite so provocative!)
