Learning foreign languages

I have always been interested in foreign languages. I think it started when we studied a priests life who taught himself five different language. Since then, I swore that I will teach myself a language or two.

In college, I took Japanese classes and I learned Hiragana Katakana. I learned how to read but not speak it. I gave up Japanese because I need more than just a Japanese subject for one semester to learn the language.

So I bought workbooks and self-studied Spanish because it's the closest to our language since our ancestors share Latin roots. I think I know basic Spanish but I stopped when I started working in the call center industry.

I have never really practiced what I've learned before but I became fluent in English. I now work as a part-time English tutor for Korean students. I like what I'm doing and maybe this time I have to learn Korean too.

Finally, goodbye

I'm going through a lot the past days. I feel like I'm in the middle of a storm on a small boat. It has been a wave of emotions: anxiety, skepticism, panic, and many many more. Sometimes I space out and ask myself if I can really overcome this.

But I'm also thankful for the things that come. Despite all the stress I'm experiencing, it's good to notice the beautiful things that are before me and the many other wonderful beginnings that are about to take place in my life. I will finally be out of the cubicle and start anew. Goodbye call center! Finally!
