- Korean: I have learned to read and write in Hangul with some confidence and I am proceeding to learn new vocabulary I apparently know around 75 words/sentences according to my flashcards that I can go through with ease.
- Hindi: I found out through a fluke accident that I know more Hindi than I originally thought I did just by attempting to explain a song to someone and realizing I knew 2/10 words in every verse. Still have not mastered the written script because it is very complex compared to the other languages I know
- Japanese: Through continued work teaching other people Japanese I have vastly improved my grammar knowledge (or just refreshed myself enough) and I can confidently say I know at least 500 kanji (yeah I know not that big of number, but I know both readings!) and still working on the progress.
- Chinese: no progress as of yet
So right now I'm mainly concentrating on Korean, because of a potential job, and Japanese, because I have more resources here, and using my time in that matter. I am occasionally working on Hindi just because it is fun because I get to watch movies. I have gotten my list of languages narrowed down and I think I can update my language goals
Japanese - know the entire joyo kanji list, pass the JLPT level 2 exam, and be a confident speaker.
Korean - Get to an intermediate level, be able to read and write Hangul with ease, and be a semi-confident speaker.
Hindi - Again get to an intermediate level, be able to read and write with confidence, and be able to ease drop the next time I go to Devon to see if these ladies are trying to hose me >_> I see you Indian sellers over there talking about me, I understand things enough to know that.
Other - work on the following languages and get to an intermediate level at some point: Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Mongolian.
In other news if I end up getting the fun exciting job I'm hoping for I will use this blog to also talk about my experience there because it is relevant.
