Thank you for the welcomes!
I do not currently speak any other language fluently. I had two unfruitful years of French many years ago, and I’m afraid I’ve forgotten most of what I’ve learned, as I never used it. I’m certain that will not be the case with Japanese, as I am already infatuated with many things about the culture and language. My next choice will likely be Something that uses Cyrillic characters, or Korean.
