Doing research on second language acquisition for uni.
Okay, let's see:
I'm hitting about 30 minutes a day lately, so call it 2.5 hours a week. Some weeks I'm able to do more.
No. I dislike classes.
Yes, and I should start making a point of that, as I enjoy it when I do it.
Zero. Some days I do less, but I always do something.
Not at the moment, though I could probably track one down if I had to.
Ironically (see 5, above) being able to read but not talk.
I've stuck to my plan for over 6 months now, so yes.
Yes. I literally taught language skills, so I'm at least moderately competent.
Current language, not really. I'm not working on a language with a non-Latin alphabet, nor one with super-limited materials, because those are both turnoffs.
Yes. I crammed so much French in high school classes that I became surprisingly competent. It's been disused for decades but my listening and reading are still good.
Not really, though back in the 1990s when magazines were still a thing and online translation wasn't, I used to figure out just enough of languages to read cooking magazines and try the recipes. Sometimes I didn't know what language the magazine was in when I bought it! I cannot understand German or Romanian beyond working my way through a recipe.
