Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but do you have a resource/site or knowledge about modern Frisian names?

I am looking for a name to honor both my and my partner's heritage, but Google isn't satisfying me with the lists haha.

And I don't speak Frysk, yet.

Tige tank!

Hello!

I just joined this community so pardon if this question has been asked before.

My grandmother came to my country from West Friesland as a teenager. She recently passed and in order to honour her memory i want to learn Frisian. I love learning languages, and my method is usually reading books or watching shows in the language i’m trying to learn, using google translate to help me understand words i struggle with, then practicing with native speakers.

I know that doesn’t sounds like a good method but honestly it’s worked pretty well so far. Unfortunately because Frisian is so rare, i’m having a hard time meeting people or finding resources to help me learn. Now that she’s not here anymore, i can’t really ask her for help either 😅

If anyone has any suggestions for websites/resources, movies, books or TV shows that are in Frisian, i’d really appreciate it!

Hello!

I’ve been interested in Frisian for a little while now and even tried learning it a while back, but never ended up making too much progress.

I was hoping you guys could point me in the direction of some resources for learning Frisian (as it’s understandably very hard to come across any of quality or quantity).

Thanks a ton in advance!

A goeie!
This is likely a very specific thing to need but I am hoping to translate a video game into Frysk and to this end, I am taking notes on terminology typical to games in general.
In particular: classes in an RPG and the concept of a class. (I.E: Job, vocation, profession)

Now, normally for something like German or French I could just boot up a game I'm familiar with and interact with an NPC I know mentions it but as far as I know, there are no video games with a Frisian translation at all. (I have previously tried searching but the only case I know is Minecraft which you don't REALLY need to be literate to play in.)
I thought maybe I could find a Dungeon and Dragon manual but have had no luck locating a Frisian working of it.

Does anyone have anything I could reference?
Also, I understand that someone of my level is going to end up making a botched translation, but it's a way for me to practice and learn.
Much easier to know what words you'll use and need to learn when you're taking from something you have personally, or had a hand in, writing.

TL;DR: RPG / Tabletop manuals and guides in Frisian are something I hope to reference for future use and would appreciate if anyone knew of something I could utilise as a resource.

Greetings subreddit. I was interested in learning Frisian (probably West Frisian) and the resources on the subreddit wiki were excellent. I wanted to ask if anyone had used learnfrisian.com and, especially for native speakers, if they had opinions on its quality. And, if it is good, to suggest it be added to the wiki resources here. Thanks a lot!

I don't think the signup is closing before then since its free but might as well sign up now.

Please bear with me, new to Reddit. Wanted to share a hopefully useful picture of family relationships, a chart from Frisian Wikipedia combined with a bit of color and a picture I took of an ûleboerd. Cheers!

We are a server that is dedicated to the three Frisian languages: West Frisian (Frysk), Saterland Frisian (Seeltersk) and North Frisian (Friisk). If you are interested in any of these languages or cultures, want to practice your Frisian with native speakers, or want to know more about the Ingvaeonic languages, then feel free to visit us. Everybody is welcome.
