    Well, one of the Vorteile, in der EU zu leben ist, ce qu’on sait parler plusieurs de langues. Een ik spreek ook en beetje Nederlands.

    Currently I’m trying to improve my french again.

      Nochmal bitte! lol. Nice selection of languages you’ve got. I wish you good times with French. I tried French but failed miserably gave up quite early on.

        I learned it for 6 years in school. I had been to France quite often, but then life changed. Now I haven’t really used/needed it for ages, so I’m a quite rusty. But im getting better again.

          Thankfully learned language comes back faster than learning from scratch. Hope you get to visit France again soon.

    Recently bought an ebook reader which has a dictionary functionality and this week I got myself “The Little Prince” in German.

    Looking up words and meanings directly in the ebook reader has been useful!

    Edit: fixed a typo.

      What reader is it? Like a Kindle or something?

      How many words do you need to look up?

        I got myself a Tolino from a local retailer, so yeah a bit like Kindle. I wrote a bit more about my purchase here in case you want to hear why I went with Tolino. So far I’m happy with it!

    Somewhere around day 440 of daily Anki reviews for Japanese. My daily study time has halved recently since I cut my oldest deck out of my routine, currently building up my sentence mined deck so that hopefully it’ll grow to fill the time soon. Took a brief detour for Toki Pona in January but back on track now.

      Woah that’s dedication, nice! Did you use some pre-made anki decks or did you make your own? I guess making your own forces you to study more as well.

        Pre-made decks at first, now I’m onto ones that I’ve compiled myself from television I’ve been watching.

          That’s a cool idea. Memorizing when you have an experience behind words is really powerful!

    I think going good. Mostly listening podcast in other language and repeating them to get use to the language. I am planing to learn all Latin language (from Spanish to Romanian). Let’s see how good I will be as a polyglot in one year. Don’t really plan to learn latin, or maybe just for the fun who knows.

      That’s a pretty cool and ambitious goal to keep yourself occupied!

      Are you just listening to random podcasts or have you picked some specific ones that e.g. use easier language? I tried coffeebreakgerman podcast awhile ago and it was nice to actually somewhat keep up with the discussion and it was nice, but didn’t feel like natural talking.
