Languages

• ↑↑↑ Spanish, French, Swahili
• ↑↑ Mandarin, Italian, Korean
• ↑ Hindi, Japanese, Wolof
• Chavacano research

I’ll need to revamp this list. This year, I need to improve my Spanish, aim for somewhere between a B2 and C1. Alongside that, I want to bring my French up to a solid B2. Swahili will need to take a backseat, unless I dig deeper into creating a system that makes learning this agglutinating language (and others like it) easier.

I want to ease back into Mandarin; I’ll have to read more on the common radicals of the language. Maybe I can aim to take the HSK3? Italian will have to ride my Romance language train with Spanish and French, and hopefully I get to learn more vocabulary. I’ll continue to mess around with Korean (and see if I can nail down the commonalities between it and Swahili).

I won’t be able to spend dedicated time on Hindi, Japanese and Wolof this year.

Chavacano takes (yet) another special spot as I set up a Philippine anthropology channel.

More to come!
