But in this log, I want to focus on bettering two languages in specific: German and French. They could possibly be the most useful to me in the long-run. If you've followed my logs since 2018, you'll know I've mainly studied Spanish and Korean in sporadic bursts with a wandering eye toward many other tongues, and I've forged my own path and come into my own as a language learner - in sum.
I've decided to try something not entirely foreign or new to me, but which I haven't attempted in a long time: to stay focused and committed and go at the goal like it really matters. I'm young still, but I take seriously the advice to always have an eye toward the future; and maybe that's where my wandering eye should have been more focused this entire time.
I'm excited for what this endeavor may mean for future opportunities and really, just the experience of growing wiser and more seasoned. Obviously I intend to maintain my Spanish, as it's a very useful language indeed for my current prospects, and I have a high level in it (so it would be a shame to see it atrophy). I have a decent level in Korean and a proven (to me) method that gets me through reading for-kids news articles, so I've shown myself twice over that I can learn a language, at least when it comes to knowing study skills.
Now I have to prove I have follow-through.
I don't have a plan for how I'll do it, which maybe is a mistake (unfortunate, right out of the gate). But I'm sure I'll get there.
). It's not as easy as German, though, which some of you may find weird. I think it could be interference between it and my first second language. But I won't give up!
I'm not complaining. I'm just watching all the time fly by me, going, "Just where are you headed?"
