It is December the 16th and I have been studying a few languages. Mainly, I am studying Japanese and French, but I also study German and Spanish. Given my home in the Southern U.S., Spanish is the most relevant besides English, of course, though I do not intend to stay here for too long (thus the multiple languages).

I was studying fifty words a day, but then I took my parent's advice about languages and applied it. Plus, knowing words does not mean knowing grammar. More practically, I decided to learn phrases at the same time as individual words to understand the languages faster (not only Japanese). This change has helped.
