It’s time for me to try and force myself to get serious at language learning again. As can be expected, results will only come from study and hard work.

Here are the goals:

1. Continue and improve Japanese learning. Has been stagnant for many months/years now.
2. Create progress on Cantonese. I have the benefit of having a Cantonese speaking family members. Ambience is possible with this and shouldn’t be wasted.
3. Start learning Mandarin. Given the written form of Chinese will bridge both Mandarin and Cantonese, this would be beneficial. Not to mention my area has become Mandarin focused and no longer Cantonese. I can help my family this way.

This weeks goals:

1. Start this blog to better record and document progress and findings.
2. Refresh memory on other users success/failure stories to relate.
3. Figure out a way to visualize Cantonese/Mandarin learning with western characters.
