Tomorrow's New Years Day [a new decade too] and since I'm the type of person who likes to start from afresh every once and a while I've decided that I want to change the way I learn languages [the difference between all the other times I've 'started afresh' and now being that I'll actually keep it up this time - I hope].
Due to being a student I often don't have a lot of time to invest into language learning. Advancing in a language revolves around you immersing yourself in the language as much as possible but I've gotten into the habit of intensively learning a language over a short period of time -a week long holiday perhaps - and then completely ignoring it for a month. I've realised that this isn't an ideal way to acquire a language. By studying so much over a short period of time, I soon [temporarily] lose interest in learning the language and it isn't getting me anywhere. Ideally I hope that by studying everyday but only for a short period of time -15 minutes or so - I will see improved results in my skills.
This blog is a way for me to track my progress and hopefully keep me from losing interest. I also hope to contribute to the language community a little by maybe posting interesting grammar tibbits I've come across or posting vocabulary lists.
Anyways, that's all for now.
I hope everyone has a great New Year!
