Five years ago, I created a bucket
list for myself. Of the things I listed, one of them was to learn a new (or
previously studied) language. On the bucket list I wrote “learn one or more of
the following languages” followed by a list of what languages I wanted to try:
Hebrew, Urdu, Arabic, Greek, Korean, an indigenous language (Cree, Dene, Inuktitut,
etc.), Russian, Turkish, and Swahili. Then threw in other languages I have
studied (to some measure) that I would like to pick up again: French and
Mandarin Chinese.
The languages I have studied, experienced,
or even attempted to use were Japanese, French, Mandarin Chinese, Mongolian, Bengali,
and Hebrew. In this next series, I will talk about the languages I have studied.
I hope it would be an encouragement
for those who are learning a new language or struggling with the one they use
in their everyday lives.
