For Spanish, my goal was to get to B1 level. I don't think I'm quite there yet. I have an exercice book to finish, and a series on KZbin (I'm doing B1 currently). I am also reading a bilingual reader of Pablo Neruda's Confieso que he vivido. I'll likely do a course later as well. So the goal is still to get to B1. To be honest, my main goal for korean is to get better at reading it. I've realized that I'm really slow to read because of the different alphabet, though I have gotten better recently. For that, I increased my exposition to the language by playing The Sims in korean and by going through an exemple of the written TOPIK. For Scottish Gaelic, I don't have a specific goal. Maybe I'd like if I could finish SpeakGaelic and Speaking Our Language. It's nice to see the progress through your beginning of the year videos since I hadn't started Gaelic last year. I don't regret doing three languages. It's three times more diverse and more interesting!

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Doing 3 is definitely more interesting! If you're doing Spanish and Korean, I highly recommend StoryLearning's courses. I did a review on their Japanese course kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWm1k6iiipuIbNE and they also have Spanish and Korean!

I've been learning pretty basic Japanese for years and have the same issue with reading. It reminds me of being five years old and spelling out words as I read them. That's the level I'm at. I'm actually quicker at reading kanji when I actually know them.

[@ZadenZane]

What a weird coincidence, I'm learning Japanese and Welsh too. But not Gaelic. I would love to know "the Gaelic" but 3 languages is just too much. By the way, I found out the other day that I'm supposedly at a higher level in Welsh! This was according to some KZbin "learn Welsh" course. I'm not really at a high level at all. I would say I'm lower intermediate but I've only recently started learning again. I'm looking for materials on how to learn very casual dialect Welsh (West Wales Pobol y Cwm Welsh) and also literary Welsh. Neither of these was covered in the Welsh we did at school. As for Japanese I'm kind of a bit stuck at the higher basic level. I have piles of Japanese textbooks but need to start going through them in an orderly way. Has anyone out there tried the old Welsh Linguaphone course? Linguaphone used to be advertised heavily on British TV. They did courses in about 30 languages that took you about twice as far as the average books and audio courses so around 1500-2000 words vocabulary which is a lot for a beginners course. Linguaphone also do a Japanese course but it's very advanced, not really suitable for absolute beginners, more of an intermediate refresher course, I'd say. They also do Irish btw but not Scottish Gaelic. PS I forgot to ask: which do you think is easier out of Gaelic and Welsh? I found Welsh hard because there are multiple levels of formality. Not like Japanese respect language, I mean more the differences in grammar between colloquial, formal and literary Welsh. If you're going into intermediate Welsh you need to at least understand all these levels and their differences. I did learn a few words of Gaelic some years ago from the BBC Alba TV channel, but the spelling was mindboggling! I couldn't make head nor tail of it!

Good luck on your goals this year! I'm really focusing on Japanese this year and hoping to take the JLPT in December. ☺

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Sweet! How have you been learning?

[@niamh-learns]

@@CarlsLingoKingdom I discuss that on my channel! 😅😜

[@brothertaddeus]

3:30 Tha an leabhar sin agam cuideachd! A bheil thu air na leabhraichean le Jason Bond a leughadh: Ròna Agus MacCodruim, Deirdre Agus an Rìgh, is An Caisteal fon Mhuir?

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Tha Ròna Agus MacCodruim agam!

[@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh]

Hi Carl, Every year I keep thinking I want to start learning Japanese again, but I haven't been able to find the right course. Most interesting/fun for me would be a live online class with other students that progresses through a book or other curriculum either following the European Framework (A1, A2, etc.) or another. 1-on-1 is usually too 'open' (aka not structured) and non-live classes I find too boring. Can you or someone else recommend anything like this?

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

You know my top recommendation is Japanese Uncovered kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWm1k6iiipuIbNE , but if you want something more live/live-ish, then I'd check out Chika Sensei's program.

[@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh]

Regarding B1 being harder to forget, that really hasn't been my experience at all. I studied Japanese and Mandarin to B1 and even B2 but 10 years after (aka today) I remember very little, if anything, of those languages.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Wow. That's discouraging...or rather, a reminder to me to maintain what I've learned. That's what I failed to do with Spanish and I forgot a ton.

[@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh]

@@CarlsLingoKingdom I think what makes people perceive them as easier to maintain at that level is that it becomes easier to actually use them (which is what makes you remember them, not your level per se) because you can actually interact with people in an at least somewhat authentic way.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

That makes a ton of sense! @@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh

[@saintfuki]

@@CarlsLingoKingdomit's fairly easy to maintain a language without fully dealing off, maybe some flashcards or videos every so often

[@SketchTM]

Do you ever mix up words between the three languages? Japanese and Gaelic are so far apart... knowing me I'd say something like tha seo gle kawaii.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

I do, actually! Usually when there's a word I need in one language that I have in the other language, the word will pop into my head.

[@mohamadmerhi9277]

​@@CarlsLingoKingdom greetings carl I believe the term of what your describing is known as "code switching"! Love your channel by the way!

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Sort of-it's like incorrect or incomplete code switching. I can see the connection to the concept, though! @@mohamadmerhi9277
