CAMELOT FANTASIES

I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German quite decently. I also learned a bit of Russian but my language skills aren't good enough for a conversation. Small talk about the weather and other random things is okay (although most of the time grammatically incorrect, grrrrrr) but that's about it. And yeah, I dare to say that my Croatian is better than my Russian by now. Although the Slavic grammar will never become a friend of mine. Hahaha. I wonder how foreigners learn German because they must have the same problems like me with Croatian, too many cases, too many long words. I would say languages are one of my passions too. I simply love learning different ones. I think that is my way of making up for the fact that I suck so much at math. I can't even solve simple equations. Numbers make me nervous, no idea why.

The weather here is giving me a headache. Fortunately I know how to get rid of it when it is caused by the foggy and cold weather.

Good luck with your goals. May they all work out the way you planned.

That's a lot of languages! I am very impressed. I know a few (like English, Urdu, Hindi etc) but it's too continental to brag about. I'd love to know both French and Arabic. I love these two because they sound very good. Only Urdu comes close as to sounding very nice. I like English a great deal and perhaps my most favourite.

I have so much interest in so many things that language tends to take a backseat when it comes to learning. I love ancient text and has been listening to a lot of Dr. Michael Heiser's lectures online lately. He mainly focuses on Hebrew ancient text (old testament, tora etc) however, but it's really eye opening especially all the true meaning of the biblical terms in the pre-science era.

That's interesting that you don't like math or even scared of it. One way to get rid of this fear is to actually get into it, as in, face it. I kind of grew up not doing as much math but then I got into jobs where I had to deal with numbers a great deal (I am in the financial industry). But on the other hand, I don't think you have to do it either. different people have different interests, different passions etc. and that's all good. Even Einstein wasn't all that good in math as he was a theorist and he'd almost always have his wife to solve half of his math problems. But since he was a theoretical physicist, he didn't nee to do any maths.

But since you love to travel so much, I am sure all these languages will come rather handy when you need them!
