I'm really impressed by your language count. I haven't really tried to learn multiple languages at once
effectively anyway. I guess I might have somewhat in college. Just getting to a b2 level in Japanese alone to me is a very fine achievement and you've got all those other languages there to boot. How long did it take you to get Japanese to b2? I wish you luck. It's inspiring. I might try multiple languages myself at the same time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Good luck with the Russian and your Japanese. I hope you manage to get all that studying in! I read that you are in Vietnam - why isn't Vietnamese on your list?

We seem to have similar levels and goals! I'd really love to read anything in Russian.
Best luck Rhadryn!! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks all for the encouragement!
Kerrie: I actually moved back to the US a month ago because I wanted to find a new place to work. TEFL is a great gig if you find the right employer, and I think I managed to do that in Vietnam. I was there because I wanted to go to Asia and my company was the first (and likely only) place that would hire me at the time of the year I was searching. If you get the chance to do TEFL, definitely go for it! Kraemder: If you'd like to learn multiple languages, I think you should try it! For half of last year I tried to force myself to do only Japanese, but I think I'm a lot more motivated and enjoy it more with variety. I've been studying Japanese for 8 years on and off--about 2 years of dedicated study but 6 years of consistent anime exposure that I think has helped me learn faster. Toffeeliz: I studied Vietnamese for 6 months and got discouraged with my inability to associate the tones with the words. It comes down to the fact that I didn't have enough motivation, I think. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Do you think you'll work in TEFL again?

ancpem1 - I've applied for a short-term TEFL job in Japan, but for the present I'm working toward going to grad school for an MA in TESOL. The language school environment doesn't really work for me, but teaching English itself is nice so I think I'd like to teach in an international school.
