just 1 new years resolution
don't normally make new years resolutions but this year I've decided make JUST one . . . can you guess what it is?Probably not since it's not like the normal ones of join a gym, lose weight, change jobs, move house, stop biting nails, be nicer to co-worker, or the like . . . it's to start to learn a new language - now can you guess which one?
NO, not French, that would be sorta cheating since I did take it for many years when growing up . . . NO, not Spanish, too confusing with the little French that is still in my head. I'm going for a totally different one, I'm going to attempt Thai at SOAS (School of Oriental & African Studies - part of the University of London). They have a 10 week beginners course starting in January & I figured what the heck, give it a go, I mean worse comes to worse, I only learn 10 words & loose £250.
So what do you think????

ambitious! go for it!
i really want to learn a second language, but i'm thinking more like spanish.
Great idea! I was thinking this weekend in Montreal, that I'd like to polish up on my French so I'd feel more comfortable speaking it and not just understanding-maybe I'll work on that!

Go for chinese or korean, it will be more useful. Does SOAS have a good pub onsite?
Chai! Apparently this means yes in Thai. Am I way off here?
I know what you mean with your french. When I'm in France my spanish comes out beautifly. Funny how that works.
great idea and my theoretical hat is off to your ambitions!
Jen: go for it!
Shann: very good idea since you're there so much.
PCS: Don't know about SOAS' pub, will have to look into it, but i'm guessing they do. LSE so far has the best on campus pub (probably for all the undergrads!)
Amanda: I didn't know yes, so thanks for that help :)
Dad: thanks for your support :)
