I took French for three semesters in high school instead of Spanish. My dad speaks Spanish as well as most of my family on his side of things, so I always think that if I ever wanted to learn more then I could just ask him. So I decided to take French.

I really like the language! It sounds really nice and I just like the way it looks. But it has been a whole year since my last French class and I have been neglecting the part of my brain that used French. It feels like such a mental workout trying to read anything. So I want to get better at strengthening those muscles!

Every few weeks I get really motivated to learn a new language, usually because of some sort of media I am engaging in. For a while it is Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, Mandarin, and Korean. But most often it is Japanese and, I suppose, French. When I get manic, the urge to learn all of these languages at once becomes overwhelming. One of my dreams is to be a polyglot, because I truly do believe you lose some meanings in translated works. So I would love to be able to understand many different languages.

For now! It is French. Wish me luck! I will definitely need it.
