rainwatersparkBecause plans were made to be changed. (...Er, just kidding.)
1. Finish German Assimil; hopefully start reading news articles. Keep reading news articles in French; try to work listening to the radio back into my schedule. Keep following Japanese class. Somehow find way to read Chinese textbook in the middle of all this.
2. Upon reaching a comfortably intermediate/advanced level in French/German, begin Norwegian. I don't anticipate that it would take a very long period of concentrated study to become reasonably literate, at least.
3. Begin learning Russian at a snail's pace to try to nail down the grammar as much as possible. Since Slavic grammar has the reputation for being very irregular, I'm not sure how much I'll be discouraged, but I will at least give it a go. (After all, Russia is huge and has a rich literary tradition and the Slavic language family is pretty large...)
4. In the far-off future: when French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian, and Russian are intermediate-advanced, begin study of Finnish. Begin looking at other languages of vague/possible interest. (In the really far-off future.) Begin listening to audio material in other Slavic languages out of curiosity/to see how much can be understood. (Quite possibly an idea that's too crazy...)
