As this is my first Language Learning Journal entry, I´m just going to summarise everything quickly.
I study Russian and Polish at university, and am inclined to believe that I spend enough time learning both. I am doing an open university course of Spanish, which I´m finding really helpful, as we have to write a lot of essays on current issues and repeat all the grammar there is. At the moment I´m also only reading fiction in Spanish and there is a DVD-box filled with Spanish films waiting for me at home. I have until June to improve my Spanish to such a level that I feel confident enough to express myself freely.
The other languages are on a break right now, simply because my books are in Finland and I have no time to start messing my head up any further, but I have not forgotten about them.
Hungarian: my passion, and one day I will speak it! I have everything I need, so whenever I finish uni and there won´t be as much stress, I will be back in business.
German: this is a language I command fairly well as it is so similar to Swedish. I can read it, and I know the grammar from before. I´m hoping to improve because I believe it would look really good on my CV.
French: French and I never got along too well. I´m using it to read the original works of French writers, and that´s it.
Czech:another language that I will continue with whenever there is more time. It will be a lot easier than Hungarian because it´s so similar to Polish and Russian.
Three more languages I want to learn someday: Latin, Georgian and Serbian

Hi Sasucaa!
Hungarian is my 'learn-when-I-finish-uni' language too, and as I've recently finished uni - it's time to start learning it. It would be great to share notes and thoughts on the language as we learn.
