Tea with Tarvos - Linguavaganza (ES, EUS, FIN and many more)! 2020s log
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2020 4:13 pm
A new decade, a new log. I thought this would be a good idea. Old log can be found here. Start fresh!
The decade in review was posted in my old log, so you can visit it there. But!
PLANS FOR THE NEW DECADE
Well, not so many. I'm continuing with Spanish and my interpreting studies. And I plan to get better at some languages that I may want to interpret in and out of (Russian and Chinese, I'm looking at you). And I want to get better at Korean and Japanese as well. So I feel that those, along with the language families I'm already invested in, will have the priority - unless something weird happens and I do something else, WHICH WILL INEVITABLY HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S ME.
So, I won't give you any specific goals, but here are the plans:
- Improve Spanish to full interpreting proficiency (and learn interpreting techniques)
- Add English (easy), Russian (fair shot), Chinese (maybe), and another language (haha no) to my list of interpreting languages
- Get better at Asian languages
- Consolidate my Slavic, Germanic and other Romance languages
- Dabble in anything else.
Language skills in 2020:
Native: NL, EN
Speak well: ES, DE, RU, FR, RO, EO, SV
Speak reasonably: IT, ZH, PT, NO, EL, CZ
Need improvement: PO, IS, HE, JP, KO, HU
Passive: AF, DK, LAT
Dabbled in: BRT, ZH (SH), FI, BG, EUS
So there you have it.
In this log, Tea with Tarvos, you can always come and visit for a cup of tea! Bring as many flavours as you like, and let's start the fun!
