Sorry for late thread this week! Had a weird Sunday, so it slipped my mind.

So yeah, have you done any language learning this week, and how did it go?

Doing okay these days. Doing bare minimum 30 mins Japanese and 30 mins Spanish. Haven't touched my Irish in a long while. Really focusing on doing a lot with Japanese though so a lot of days is more like hour or more dedicated study for Japanese.

Girlfriends birthday soon so trying to find the time to make a piece of art for her before then. Next also the maths I'm having to restart due to financial complications that made me pause it for a while. Then somedays I play chess, or read, depending on the mood.

Really need to work on Irish at some point though, but it's such a hassle with even 2 languages, I have no idea how polyglots deal with 3 or more and still have a full week of work and obligations. I'm the furthest thing from a polyglot seeing as I don't even speak 2 languages yet, let alone more. But goals are goals I guess.

    Seriously! I've been trying to dip my toes into some new ones while also not dropping Japanese and it's just like... there's no time for this! It takes a lot to stay curious and juggle 2 or 3 languages (plus other hobbies and work). My solution is just to fail at it and learn poorly. T_T

    I'm completely winded these days. I'm amazed I even have time for Japanese and Spanish, let alone also doing the Irish. I figure thought when I get to N3/B2, it'll be easier to absorb content/information that way, but I feel that's still a very long way off even so. I sink in an hour a day of Japanese and it's like I'm getting nowhere fast. I'm able to vaguely understand tidbits I come across online, but more than likely I have to reach for a dictionary in most cases. I know this is a temporary problem, but due to how long this has been a temporary problem, it sure does feel like a permanent problem.

    3 languages? Insane!
