You know, I think I have.
Being clear but not strict with myself about only studying nine languages has renewed my interest in French, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. These all saw a lot more attention than the last time I tried to balance them all. I can't muster up a whole lot of enthusiasm for Polish but I have some ideas for it in the future. Hokkien is my cheating language, along with perhaps Javanese since I'm taking once-weekly classes for it.
I find myself really, really wanting to try out different language challenges. I even thought of one for myself in April, which I will definitely keep a log of on the forum.
My only explicit New Year's goal in my log was "read easily in a new language." It's not easy yet, but I've undoubtedly made
progress in reading French, Chinese, and Indonesian.
And that's the most important thing, right? I look at my log entries around December/January and think "I've made a lot of progress since then." Bumped up my French listening for sure, read a dozen Spanish articles, consistently challenged myself with Mandarin, kept up Glossika in three languages, gave an entire lecture/Q&A in Indonesian...
It's coming along.
