Somehow in the past year I've learned the Azerbaijani language. I'm certainly not grammatically perfect, but I can basically express almost every thought I might have and can understand people about 80% of the time. Honestly, I have no clue how this happened, but it gives me hope for my upcoming goal of learning Turkish.
Many people have asked me what spoken Azerbaijani sounds like. I post a lot of rap tracks on this blog but as of yet there hasn't really been a post that highlights what Azerbaijani spoken language is like. So, below is a track of myself and a few friends (1 American, 2 Azeris) having a conversation in Azerbaijani. To give you an anchor point, its about music.

This is excellent - thanks, Josh. Actually gives me a sound for something I'm putting into a book!
