Spin-off:

SGP's African, Afro-American and Caribbean English Log

There, I also mentioned what my motivation for learning them is, and that doing so doesn't necessarily always include using them too, because of a certain reason.

(Apart from that, no other learning process related post has been made. This is because soon after opening that thread, it became clear to me that (re-)merging all spin-off logs with this log is even more useful. As for "All Things Communication" and the logs that came after it, they aren't spin-offs anyway, so there is no reason to merge or re-merge them.)

Slightly improved my learning list's legibility. ;)

No more "R/W" (reading/writing) and "L/S" (listening/speaking).

But there is still a slash. However, because I removed those abbreviations, the order now is reversed. This means that I first mention the ability of listening/speaking, then ability of reading/writing.

EN-AFR/EN-CAR stands for African and Caribbean English.

Just posted an explanation of the purposes intended by the log named "the language called communication [a learner's log]". Especially that log isn't being done because of myself only, far from it. It is also meant to provide a (maybe even major significance) opportunity of asking someone who is "less than half of a geek, but above zero" any communication-related question within that thread's scope. Just as people with a "very mainstream background and perception" can tell others many things about communication that the others don't know yet to that extent, the same also applies the other way around, speaking of other things related to it.

For more details, you are more than welcome to read the current post.

My number one language project log is in "no more output without input" mode from now on.

This means that without input, I am not continuing it at all. (This isn't related to being mean or anything, you can read about it in the link below). And whenever there is input, I agree to reply to it and to all possible follow-ups. But whenever the input is gone, I am also, again, ceasing to post anything in that specific log until there is some more.

For more details, including some reasons on why this could matter to you (yes, you) too, you can refer to this link:

Added a very important edit to the post I linked to (in that particular log).
And no, you wouldn't need to go there now just for the purpose of reading that edit. However, you might decide to go there for another reason. Telling you right know what this EDIT (usually I wouldn't mention it at this point even) was about.
SGP wrote:Input can be made by replying to any post.

Or by mentioning new patterns of behavior and so on.

Or by asking me (a person with neurodiversity, and this is entirely different from a mental illness or anything) any question on how people with neurodiversity could perceive certain situations related to communication.
SGP wrote:[EDIT: And as for those of you who are persons with neurodiversity themselves: Yes, I didn't finish learning about communication yet. :) However, I am very grateful for currently experiencing a major metamorphosis. So, for the purpose of informing you of it only, there already are some or even many cases where I can be one of those who are something like a bridge between those with our background and those who have got a different one. You also can ask any question related to what I just described.]

I used to like the idea of an in-depth advancement with both of Spanish and French, and even now, I still like this idea. Already have been pondering on how it could be done, because I would "need" to do both of it the same time. "Need" using quotation marks because while I really like both of them, I do not feel comfortable with calling them (or also, for example and for that matter, Dutch and Italian) something I that "I really need and I cannot live without". So in other words, I really am interested in advancing with both of them, and my way of learning [not trying to force anyone to do it the same :)] differs quite a lot from many others ways of it.

Having said that, I also feel the desire of advancing with all of my other learning list's languages (but to a lesser degree), and also taking an "at least a bit more in-depth" look at those of my "mental only list" which is about micro-learning. This is because I like being able to at least communicate a little more with others who don't have a common (shared) spoken language between them and me.

Important clarification about two recent posts of mine in the "The language called communication" log

I just realized that each of two recent posts in the log mentioned above contain a passage which could seem to contradict the other one. It even could seem as an intentional untrue statement. But this wasn't the case, and you can read about it in the link below. Besides, I also could have edited the two posts hoping that "nobody realized the possible contradiction anyway". But I am aiming for Maximum Degree Transparency instead.

Taking a (possibly very long) break from logging now, but still fully available if there is input on my main project

I am taking a break from logging now while continuing to learn the languages on my list and micro-learn some others. Not sure about it yet, but that break really could last weeks or even months.

However, I still am fully available for my main project in case there is some new input. The link has been mentioned in my signature, so I am not repeating it right now :). Also, I fully intend to continue to answer PMs.

Re: 13 languages being learned in rotation [PT IT RO FR ES SV NO DA SWA JP EO NL AF], and others being micro-learned

Postby SGP » Tue Nov 13, 2018 12:44 pm

All but one of my other logs have been merged with the one you are reading right now.

The log that was not merged at all, especially because of being my #1 Main Project, is the one about All Things Communication.


As for all of the other previously active logs:

If there will be some futures updates,
the place I would post them would be here, not there (i.e. not in any of those previously active logs).

The same applies to any possible replies of others to these threads.
However, in the case of a reply to any of these (now inactive) logs,
I do intend to post a link in that particular thread which points to this multi-language log's new content.

Just simplified my profile's language learning list. Whatever comes before the dash is the minimum speaking ability, and whatever comes after it is the maximum reading ability.

As for listening, it can be the same as speaking, or above.

And as for writing, it can be the same as reading at most.

Something else, too: Just removed the links to all my other logs, expect the one about All Things Communication, from this log's first post.

Because of that, mentioning them one more time, in a single post:

SGP's Beyond Beginner's Swahili Log

SGP'S Coming Closer To Nihongo (Japanese) Log

Language Cooking [micro-learning #1]: Finnish, Russian, Turkish, (Mandarin) Chinese, Korean, Indonesian]

Language Cooking [micro-learning #2]: Hungarian, Czech, Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian, Polish

Language Cooking [micro-learning #3]: Amharic, Tigrinya, Persian (Farsi), Croatian, Urdu, Hindi, Icelandic
