#considering the way my fluency already functions i think i'll end up being a japanese translator

[kopivie]

Saw you mention your passion for languages in a couple of posts (yay! another language nerd hjskswposnenlps) and I was wondering how many languages you speak/ are learning? I know you’re learning/ learned Japanese at some point, but are there any others?

yeah, i'm an absolute sucker for linguistics! my interest is the way languages differ in reference to dialects and the way people who speak that language are able to identify where a person might be from if they speak in that dialect... i won't go on a tangent though bc its so aaaa

but! i'd say i'm at an intermediate level in both korean and japanese. i'm definitely gotten rusty since i didn't study during my time off from school, but i'm sure once i get back into the swing of things, i'll pick it up with ease again.

but i also want to be fluent in: mandarin, french, italian, and greek! mandarin is a new addition to the list, but it never hurts to master one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world, right? and i already started learning both greek and french, but i need to dedicate serious time to doing each.

the way i'm setting up my time, since it's 6 languages total, i think i'll dedicate one day of the week to speaking/practicing/learning one language. i plan on minoring in japanese when i return to school so it'll be a little askew until i find a proper balance, but what better way to fill my time than with learning a new language?
