I wish there were a Humans of Forvo. I’d love a profile of Bríd Eilís, say, who has uploaded 13k words and phrases of her Galway Irish. And imagine an interview with someone like user piral58: “You’ll soon have recorded and shared 100k words and phrases of Luxembourgish. What drives you, kind sir?”

Well, now it's only 20 days away, so time to get your celebration plans in order!
