Language learning has been part of me since high school. I'm solid in 2 non-English languages, crappy but survivable in 2 others. I've played with & started learning others many times.
I'm real busy rn, but language learning could be a fun thing to do for myself & make me feel like I'm still me.
But I'm stumped about my language picks. I learnt the obvious European languages in school; later tried key Asian languages. What do I want to do now?
African languages? I won't be getting a chance to use them much in Aus, & I'm unlikely to get to a stage where I can read literature.
I tried Slovenian/Slovene on a whim & really love it, but I'll never go there. Is the practical but unfun answer grind out more kanji/hanzi? Or is whimsically learning a language spoken by only 2.5 million people reasonable? I will continue struggling through with Ukrainian, 'cause I think it's important.

at the very end of tulip season I allowed myself to cut a bouquet. having it on my desk might have been a mistake - I got utterly and completely hypnotized by the way how the wind in the tree outside my window that is filtering the sunlight coming in made them look differently from split second to split second. so hard to look away. so many pictures taken. so many decisions to make. but now tulip season is truly over.
which one do you like better, and why?
