Hello everyone! It's been a very very long time since I have come back to this blog. It's alive, but not active. That is, not yet. Lots of things have changed since I've last blogged about the languages I had been learning and I've had to make a decision to let some go. That is, my plan to learn Japanese, Swedish, Vietnamese and Chinese have been dropped. What I have accumulated in knowledge with Vietnamese will be maintained. However, saying that, I won't be practicing my speaking or any aspect of it with any focus. It will all be maintained passively. Instead my focus will be shifting to Russian.
Why Russian? Well lately I have been drawn to learn it, similar to Vietnamese. The only difference is the finding of workbooks for school age children and other things will be much more difficult. I was actually surprised at how much I could find when searching for Vietnamese resources. Things had changed from 2004, when I first searched, to 2012, when I decided to seriously learn it from then to 2015. I have already started leanring Russian last year, but only the alphabet and writing. Practicing speech will be the next step, and I don't find just speaking the alphabet and words so difficult right now. But that is where the challenge comes in. Alphabet vs expression is a whole different field.
So as I prepare to start learning Russian, as I did with the other languages, I will document and share what I am able of my experience. Writing, maybe voice recordings, and any comparisons and contrasts to old languages I had started or had gotten far in. So stay tuned!
