Anyone else here into learning languages?
I minored in Chinese when I was in college, and lived over there for a few years after that.
I would consider myself fairly skilled with it (conversational and literate), though not fully fluent.
I still keep it up by listening to podcasts, occasionally watching a TV show or movie, or reading books on Kindle, and that's it. I don't "formally" study anymore. But also, he changed political environment from 10+ years ago when I started is a real downer, and takes some of the inspiration to keep learning away. I've been thinking of learning something else.
I'd started Japanese a few times, but never get far. IDK why, something about it just never hooks me.
Spanish is enough I'd like to learn (very useful), and also Swedish (oddly, have many friends who speak it).
Curious who here can speak a language other than English, and if so, how you go about study, assuming that it's not your native language.
