I study a variety of things, and as of late the motivation has come back to me. (I blame having covid for knocking the wind out of me though). Did roughly 30 mins Japanese, 20 mins Spanish and 15 mins Irish today. Really wanting to pump an hour into each eventually, but need to give it time.
Makes me happy to hear that you've gotten back into it despite the hard hit from Covid, welcome back! Hope you are feeling healthier.
That is honestly an impressive amount in a day. I sometimes study for 15 minutes a day just keep the habit. Don't let it overwhelm you. At your own pace and keep it fun.
Yeah, it can be quite overwhelming at times. Realistically I'd be a lot less burnt out if I decided to stick with just one language. But I honestly can't. I would study about 20 languages in a day if I had the time for it. So I have to settle with just the 3. Takes a lot of time out of my gaming/social life, but I think eventually when I can speak properly in all 3, I'll have more time for language based immersion/socializing/gaming to the point it'll eventually pay off. So I have that future goal I have set for myself. Going to be a great day when I can finally partake in discussions in all 3.
It's for sure going to be absolutely amazing! I admire your goal!
Guess it will also open up new doors for socializing and gaming in the end. Pretty neat.
