Alice – Well, I grew up in Ireland so Irish (Gaelic) was my second language and then I had French at school and uni as an elective. I live in Holland so Dutch is my main other language, my wife us Polish so I speak that well enough. I learned Spanish in evening classes and I did a Level 2 module at the OU so that is strong enough. I also lived in Germany before and German is similar to Dutch so I can understand everything but my spoken level is weaker. I did Swedish and Italian courses before but thry are only at a basic enough level.
With Japanese I have a lot of vocab and I recognize and can sound about 300 kanji. However, I have real trouble converting that into real situations. That is why revising the basics from new angles really helps.
I am going through Text Fugu now and there are some nice things I have picked up. I haven’t heard of Eto Eto. What’s it like? Is it at the end of Textfugu?
