I have a special interest in linguistics and language-learning, so I just wanted to share my extremely limited progress.
Languages I know proficiently:
- English (native)
- Mandarin (kind of native: family and Chinese school)
- Spanish (5 on the AP Spanish exam)
Languages I’m actively trying to learn:
- Standard Arabic (alphabet)
- Korean (useless vocabulary)
- Latin (basics, got through a beginner-level workbook)
- Italian (rushed through Level 1 of the Duolingo tree)
Languages I’ve attempted:
- Russian (alphabet)
- German (basics)
- Japanese (Hiragana alphabet)
- Brazilian Portuguese (basics)
- ASL (alphabet, numbers, question words)
- Morse code (barely)
- Braille (barely)
- Zulu (basic phrases)
- French (I completely gave up not gonna lie)
Yeah, that… um. That is all. I’m not great at commitment.
