Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to “how are you” and how to say “I am still learning Greek can we speak English”. haha

    Honestly I love language and languages in general, so I rarely need an excuse to go study one haha.

    That said, Mandarin Chinese was attractive to me for a few reasons.

    Firstly, a LOT of people in this world speak it, so it has high utility potential and may even come in handy for me professionally.

    Secondly, I think the culture and history of China is interesting and that my default lens for it is likely heavily biased. I’ve always found that reading source material and opposing positions or narratives has helped me understand the truth of a matter with more (albeit still imperfect) clarity.
