@Traeh4 True that. @stranger I recommend the Assimil method (French), it could be a good start. Now, with regard to practice, I can surely give some pronunciation, intonation, accent tips (I'm from Antananarivo). The bottom line, it does take more courage to learn Malagasy then say, Korean given the scarcity of available resources (books, speakers to exchange with, etc.) but @Traeh4 made a good point, I believe it's all about motivation and passion, if you like the language, the culture, you'll be doing just fine. Cheers,

There are not many people who speak Malagasy on italki, unfortunately. I recommend finding 5000 dollars, and taking a 2-year vacation to Madagascar. It's that easy :) Haha!
