Vietnamese will continue to be a mystery as to why I am called to learn it, but there is no denying it's a passion. With Russian now being added in more seriousness, I do ask what is the biggest pull. I know that I want to sing some of my favourite Russian songs. My personal philosophy with singing a different language, is to learn the alphabet. Knowing the alphabet will help me assimilate a better pronunciation of the words I'm trying to sing, instead of just tonal matching and muddling through it. No shame in it, babies do it to learn the language. However, once I muddle, I want to eventually bring a little more structure to those specific parts.
Anyway, I'm going to shift those gears towards the other two languages. What will happen with Japanese? When up coming changes are made, I will have more time to dedicate to the academics of Japanese. I have no doubt in my mind I can learn and almost master Japanese, but learning and imprinting the Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji needs hours of dedicate practice. For me an 1 hour is not enough to really hold that information. Knowing all of this, I absolutely need to build more foundations in Vietnamese and in Russian. When i go back to Japanese, when the time is right, I want to make sure I will retain it, and not lose a lot of knowledge from the others. A small crack can be fixed. But if you used cheap materials that foundation will crumble a disappear quickly. Japanese will unfortunately do this as I dedicate time to Russian and Vietnamese. However, that's the focus for now and I know the consequences of that.
Enough rambling, Let's get back to learning!
