Once again, you made yourself an incredible work list for this year. Not that I can help at all (the levels of your target languages are a bit high for me), but I'll drop in your log every once in a while to cheer on you! :)

Thank you all for the support, I will be following your logs too and hope I can help.
I am still on vacation but yesterday I had some experiences worth mentioning. I went shopping with wife,
mom and sister (a.k.a. I was the one taking care of my nephew). First we went to a household Appliances
store and I could eavesdrop ladies talk in Spanish more than once. Then we went to Mercado Central, a
tourist place with handicraft and gastronomy items, and I ran across two German girls at the corridor - I could
hear a Wunderbar when they passed so they might be enjoying the city. Outside the market there was an
Indian clothes' shop and the owners were actual Indians. They started talking in what assumed to be Hindi. I
asked for confirmation and I was right. So, if I ever learn Hindi, I know where to go for practice.
In the evening we went to the mall and I visited the bookstore. There isn't much at this bookstore chain for
language learning, but I could spot the Portuguese edition of Berlitz Russian and bought it straight away. It is
well-organized, colorful and in my source language, so I can make it a motivation boost and a revision. I also
bought book 2 of Le Petit Nicolas (voyage), not sure if it is a sequel but it is nice to have more paperback -
there are other novels there, one 1/2 shelf for French literature. I also bought a booklet with stories from the
neighborhood where I love, quite interesting.

You certainly got your work cut out for you! Very impressive list of languages and I
salute your tenacity at juggling all of them at once. I could never do that :)
However, as you're on with Russian, and Mandarin which is on my hitlist, I'll be
following your log closely. Keep up the good work, and good luck with it!

That's a staggering list of languages. I can just barely handle two. Actually, I can't
handle two.
Best of luck in 2015!

I'll be following your log again this year. I followed silently last year, and was amazed
by your progress and your dedication. Good luck for this year, too!
