I studied Japanese in high school for three years and can still read a bit and understand parts of my favorite anime. I lived in South Korea for 6 years and while I can still read it and know a good amount of food and phrases, I lost my ability to carry a conversation and my 2022 goal is to relearn Korea. Currently I am working on becoming fluent in Latin American Spanish by the end of 2021.
