Hello, and welcome to my first post. I’m genghishahn, just a guy with a strong interest in foreign languages, and this blog is intended as a record of my studies. So far, the only foreign language I’ve learned is Modern Standard Arabic, but I have a long list of languages I’d like to tackle within my lifetime. Luckily, I have some extra motivation in one of the perks of my occupation: I get paid more for every language I can score at least a 2/2 on according to the Defense Language Profiency Test.
Here are the languages I have interest in eventually (and I do mean eventually) learning, in no real order:
Modern Standard Arabic
Levantine Arabic
Egyptian Arabic
Spanish
French
Italian
Mandarin Chinese
Japanese
Persian Farsi
Russian
Urdu
As for why I included these languages, and not others, I have no real answer. It just happens that these are the ones I’m interested in. Anyway, I’m in the middle of a move to Georgia, but as soon as I finally get settled in, in the next few weeks, I’ll start logging the study of my first project, which I think will be Spanish. I’m looking forward to using this blog to help keep me motivated, and hopefully I’ll be able to help others by introducing new resources for them to use in their own studies.
