Quadrilingualism Challenge

So, I like languages. I'm not sure if it's a passion, but I do enjoy learning it, speaking it, confusing people with it and meeting people who actually speak it! But now that I'm out of Secondary school and moving onto a degree, one that may not necessarily be Spanish >_< well, hopefully, a minor at least, it's going to be tough to keep up with it, or even learn new ones. Partly because I'd be focused on other studies, and mainly because, I just wouldn't be focused on studying it, out of a classroom setting. So I'm bringing the classroom to home! 


I like 7 and 30 Day Challenges, But I guess, until the end of August? Or maybe till i start University(hopefully) oh gosh, * hyperventilates and panics at the thought that I may not get in D: * But no sooner than August is over, shall i complete this challenge :D Basically, I'm going to try learning 3 foreign languages simultaneously;i.e completing the same lessons such as Basic Greetings, grammar rules, descriptions, travel etc, each on the same day. And considering English is my first language, it will count as 4 in the end, thus making me a quadrilinguist, or polyglot. But, in addition to those, I'm going to widen my vocabulary. For now, I'll start with 5 new words per day, that I shall use in my day to day speech as practice, and just for the fun of it, attempt to learn and remember those same 5 new words, in each of the three foreign languages :D 
I can imagine some people saying, 'for the fun of it? what part of that sounds fun to you? o.O' lol but I like the challenge ^_^ 
And this is definitely going to be a challenge, considering I may be involved in other activities, whole day ones, that would greatly infringe on the time needed to study, but the important thing is that I try! 


Oh, and lastly, the foreign languages shall be:
Spanish
Already fluent in that, but CAPE really messed up my ability to learn basic stuff, it packed my brain with advanced topics like Global warming, tourism, globalization and technology, and got rid of the basic 'Hola' lol Ok I keed I keed hehe but I want to take my time and really develop my skills in it through continuous practice, soooo ya.


French
Did French up to form 3 in Secondary school, was never excellent at it,just average, but I blame that entirely on myself because I didn't focus or study it as often as I should've, but once I did, I was awesome at it! Too bad I dropped it like a breadfruit after that, lol 


And the last language, I'm gonna need suggestions. I was thinking Portugese, but ughhhhh it's so close to Spanish, well relatively, and I don't think I want to become incredibly fluent in that, or maybe, not yet. 
But I'm also thinking Mandarin, apparently more people in the world speak Mandarin than they do English :O 
And also Russian, considering it is one of the 6 Official Languages of the United Nations. That way, I'd know 4 of them, but If I do both Mandarin and Russian I'd know 5 :O I SHOULD LEARN 5 LANGUAGES!!! lol xD 
In case anyone was wondering, the last official one is Arabic.


5 Languages, hmmm *strokes imaginary beard* Quintilinguistic Lifa. I shall think about it. So Portugese, Mandarin or Russian? I shall ponder ^_^

So till tomorrow please God! 
See you later
Hasta Luego
A plus tard

...Just looked up how to say see you later in Russian and Mandarin and my expression is o.O What are those things! lol
увидимся позже
回頭見


That is all [Exeunt] ^_^

Please Listen

When I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what I asked.

When I ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me why
I shouldn’t feel that way,
you are trampling on my feelings.

When I ask you to listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problem,
you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.

Listen! All I ask is that you listen.
Don’t talk or do – just hear me.

Advice is cheap; 20 cents will get
you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham
in the same newspaper.
And I can do for myself; I am not helpless.
Maybe discouraged and faltering,
but not helpless.

When you do something for me that I can
and need to do for myself,
you contribute to my fear and
inadequacy.

But when you accept as a simple fact
that I feel what I feel,
no matter how irrational,
then I can stop trying to convince
you and get about this business
of understanding what’s behind
this irrational feeling.

And when that’s clear, the answers are
obvious and I don’t need advice.
Irrational feelings make sense when
we understand what’s behind them.

Perhaps that’s why prayer works, sometimes,
for some people – because God is mute,
and he doesn’t give advice or try
to fix things.
God just listens and lets you work
it out for yourself.

So please listen, and just hear me.
And if you want to talk, wait a minute
for your turn – and I will listen to you.

Read this in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, and loved it. Such a sad reality that people can't do such a task as listening alone.They think they understand the meaning of the word, but it's far deeper than just 'hearing', much more perplex than sharing your view.  Just LISTEN. It sounds easy, simple, but yet, we still find a way to add to it, and take away from it. I don't need your advice, I just need you to listen.
