This is my first log on this forum, although I have joined this forum about 5 years ago. So please correct me if I made any mistakes during my logging of my language learning process. My main focuses for this year are:
Russian: improve my level to high B1/low B2 (current high A2/ low B1) in all areas. Serbian/Croatian: false beginner to B1 level Ukrainian: beginner to A2 level Belarusian: beginner to A1 level French: maintenance by listening to radio and reading native books. Do not rule out the possibility to take certification next year. Current level B2 German: maintenance by listening to radio and reading native books. . Do not rule out the possibility to take certification next year. Current level B1 Japanese: slowly walk through with Assimil Malay/Indonesian: part of wanderlust with a special reason. Malay is the national language of Singapore and yet, I like many Singaporean Chinese, know almost nothing about it. I think this is a shame, consider the fact that I want to be a polyglot, and the fact that one should know the national language of one’s native land. English and Chinese: keep adding vocabulary along the way. I have problems with my vocabulary and I sought to solve this problem through exposure. Czech: on hold for this year since it messes with my Croatian/Serbian Hebrew: If there were more business trip to Israel, most likely I will push it up to a regular language. I am already starting to like the language. This is an ambitious task that I have set for this year. I hope that I can sustain it all the way until the end of year, although for several years I have only managed to stay consistent for one or two of the languages throughout the year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Great to hear that someone else is learning Serbian/Croatian :) I am in awe of how many
other languages you are tackling, but I look forward to following your log! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you prz_ and Radioclare for becoming the first commenters on my log. Unfortunately, I need to prepare my trip to Israel during this week and I will be there the entire next week. Hence, I will not be able to do much and log my process, although I can squeeze some time out to maintain my languages throughout my trip.

Dear all, I am finally back from the trip in Israel. It is time to give some updates on my progress over the past week.
Basic Hebrew: It was a pleasure to communicate with the natives, even though each conversion was not more than 5 lines. I even tried to read out words that I don't know in Hebrew. It is more difficult than other languages, as the words are unpointed (i.e. without vowels indicated, except i, o and u in Hebrew). Often I have the word pronounced wrongly, but my acquaintances helped me in correcting my mistakes. They are also impressed that I have got the alphabet and its pronunciation correct. Unfortunately, I do not think I have the time to continue my Hebrew for this year, unless there is a need to go to Israel frequently. Russian & Serbian/Croatian: I have already started doing Asimil with these two languages before my trip and have managed to complete some of them despite my busy schedule. I will give a more throughout description in my next few posts as they are my main languages this year. I wish to complete my Assimil Russian before my trip to Russia in March, hopefully that my pronunciation and listening will become better by then. 1 person has voted this message useful |
