So no more new languages! The languages I am working on right now I will try to stick
with for the rest of the year at least. I have worked on about 20 different languages this month, trying to figure out which ones I wanted to spend some time working on and my list of active languages right now seems interesting and more importantly doable. 12 languages, 5 different languages families. It should be interesting enough not to be tempted by any new ones. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, the pronunciation tends to be a challenge, but it must be nice to understand so much with just a little effort? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes it is! One of the reasons I am interested learning Norwegian is that one of my
favorite play write wrote in Norwegian, Henrik Ibsen and I also am also a fan of Knut Hamsun, and would like to read his stuff untranslated. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can start getting into stuff like that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, see? You're doing great, already, and actually, you're probably better than I am! And you do have access to a native speaker too. No problem, ask anything in Arabic, or Japanese, and we can always roll ideas off of each other. Keep it up, and do your best in the 6WC. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So far about 3 hours of studying today. I did an hour of written Arabic, actually going
quite well. Without having to worry about pronunciation, language learning is pretty easy. Irish however was a different story. I spent a lot of time to day going over some pronunciation drills, really try to get those broad and slender consonants right. Hopefully it will pay off soon, as I am getting restless unable to actually say much stuff in Irish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Just did my first extensive period of shadowing. Walked and listened to a German audio
book for 2 hours. My legs feel exhausted but I don't feel particularly good at German... 1 person has voted this message useful |
