See title. I’ve been to quite a few local language meetups and saw lots of people IRL who are learning languages: wondering how are y’all doing too

For myself… learning French due to necessity. I am making progress, just veeery slow. I underestimated how difficult it would be (a lot of vocabs between English/French are similar… but the languages themselves are not!)

    I decided to teach myself Russian and Japanese when I turned 40. It’s been over a year and making good progress in both. Am still at a beginner lever but pretty happy with progress.

    what sucks is when i tell people this they think i am weird or mentally ill. nobody i know or have met in the past year has seen it as a cool or fun thing.
