Mandarin. I’m in China at the moment so it’s a fun process that is happening all day.

Nice! How/where do you get the best practice there?

Currently I’m at the trying to communicate my intentions stage, so a lot of it is simply talking to shopkeepers and that kind of thing. However I do get to have a lot of fun banter at restaurants as people love too strike up a conversation in English, to which I respond in Chinese, which always goes down well. I’ve been bought a lot of beers already and given a lot of cigarettes (Chinese cigarettes are great).

I’ve just had a conversation with a mother and daughter on the bus which was really cute. The little girl’s English was really good.

Spanish. But it’s the fun part now as I can just read/watch/listen. I miss the odd word and I have to pick my materials carefully but otherwise I can just sit back and enjoy. It doesn’t feel so much like studying/learning anymore. Although I do need to brush up on my grammar, especially tenses, and practise speaking. Unfortunately, I’m not too near any Spanish-speaking places to get that practice in.

I’m focusing on Japanese, but recent shake-ups in my life have knocked me out of my habits.

I should probably be working more actively to cultivate my Russian, I feel it’s getting rusty.

いまゆうは、アニメとまんほんやくしたいのです。いまは、ノルウェーには、アニメとまんの99%はえいやくだけから、えいはなせないひとはこれをたのしめなくて、アニメヲタクのみんはこれでノルウェーべんきょうできません。このシチュエーションはちょっとざんねんおもうからほんやくしゃになりたいです。

Trying to learn Indonesian Bahasa but it’s not going well. I’m thankful the language uses Latin characters though. Terima kasih.

I kinda want to learn Dutch because it sounds funny

Hmm, maybe after Tagalog… this language should be next. From what I’ve heard, no conjugation problem, just foreign vocab input, mainly as a problem…

That being said, your reason reminds me of this ever so inspiring quote.

China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese.

It sounds pretty to me and a friend of mine is from Jakarta. I also like books and there’s a bunch of Indonesian lit I’d like to get into.
