See title. I've been to quite a few local language meetups and saw lots of people IRL who are learning languages: wondering how are y'all doing too

For myself... learning French due to necessity. I am making progress, just veeery slow. I underestimated how difficult it would be (a lot of vocabs between English/French are similar... but the languages themselves are not!)

Japanese! I originally thought I might make quick progress, but there were surprising number of characters I've never seen before. So I just decided to learn everything from complete scratch so that I don't ever have to backtrack. Everything is written in hiragana at the current stage, and that's throwing me off a lot too. But I have to learn how they're read anyway so, oh well.

    Ohh nice! If you happen to be interested in manga: someone at my local Japanese language exchange recommended よつばと! which seemed like a cute & quite useful manga series for learning Japanese
