Re: Introduce yourself here
Welcome. We have several students of Japanese and Mandarin, but the big Indian languages are seriously underrepresented here (and unfortunately I haven't had the time and energy to do anything about that myself).

I am here to share my knowledge of my own language with you all and I want to learn and practice French and English. A long time ago I had studied Spanish for almost 3 years; I used to attend class of a local language school for 3 hours per week. In 2016, I tried to learn Italian for 1 year. Then I shifted my interest to French and have decided to concentrate on French finally as there are lots of books are available to study French and there is a centre of Alliance Francaise in my city. I want to improve my French and sit for A1 A2 exams as early as possible.
This website is awesome! C'est super! এই ওয়েবসাইটটা দুর্দান্ত...!!!![]()
Greetings Saptarshi. I am not learning Bangla myself, but I do have a text book at home. I also have Hindi (duh) and Urdu text books to keep me company.
I will visit India for the fifth time in January, but will not be visiting Bengal. I stay mostly in the Hindi Belt - Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh..

Re: Introduce yourself here
Greetings Everyone. I read the old forum for a long time, but never joined or started a log. Reading logs and various posts on the old forum helped me after college when I didn’t know how to improve my mandarin on my own. My mandarin isn’t great, but I can read or listen to anything I want to. For background, I am a native American english speaker. I had to take a break from language studies for a few years. Recently,I have had some more free time, so I started to work on some long dormant Spanish. Mandarin is on long term maintenance right now. I mostly just watch tv shows. I would guess that I could pass the HSK 5 right now, but I would need to cram to pass the HSK 6. I don’t live in a city with a test center, so it is inconvenient to take. As for my Spanish, I would estimate that it is around the A1 level. Finally, I constantly have to fight language wanderlust. My future goal languages are : French, German, Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese.

This order is for today only. Everything can get rearranged when wanderlust strikes.

Re: Introduce yourself here
Hey everyone! Some of you have seen my few posts around so I won't go too deep here but I am a lover of languages who has struggled to learn a second one. My name is Alex, I'm American, took 5 years of French in school (I'm probably at a B1 in French but it's very rusty), started learning German because I got a job with a German company, even though it doesn't seem like I will be working with the company anymore, I am trying to tackle the language because speaking multiple languages has long been on my bucket list. I'm in the A2-B1 range in German now.
Future language goals: Get German to B2/C1 range, polish French into the B2/C1 range, then attempt Russian and Spanish. For now, that's a lot of work ahead of me so I can start thinking of more languages when I get there.

Re: Introduce yourself here
Hi,
My name is Tom and I've been a silent follower of this forum since the HTLAL days.
Even though I was taught three languages during my time at school in Germany (English, French, Latin), I struggled with learning foreign languages. The enthusiasm was there, but I never got far on the road to competency.
One day while I googled the phrase "how to learn a foreign language", I discovered Prof. Arguelles on the old HTLAL forum. This discovery had a major impact on my life:
Prof. Arguelles' posts inspired me to seriously study languages and thanks to his advice I finally succeed after years of failed attempts (at Russian/Cantonese/Khmer). Following his Shadowing/Scriptorium-routine I became fluent in Japanese and this changed the path of my whole life (professionally and personally).
Exactly one week ago I decided to use the time I now have to embark on the journey of studying and mastering all the languages I still have on my long wish list (starting with Mandarin and French). A good opportunity to finally become a participating member of the forum.

Re: Introduce yourself here
Hi everyone,
I have been lurking on this forum for a little while now giving me motivation, and ideas on how I can learn languages. I am currently self studying French (and I am sure other languages in time) with the main aim of reading past and present literature in he native language, and watching the odd Netflix program. As for speaking and writing I will work on them, but it's not as important for me at this time.

We don't normally allow self-promotion without contacting a moderator first. However, I looked at your site and it seems legitimate. You can contact the administrator / moderation team by clicking the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page.
