My First Entry, Hello / 今日は / Привет italki Community. I've joined italki and even managed to get a friend to join. I'm hoping it will help me learn more quickly as I've been struggling to learn on my own. I am currently learning Japanese and taking night classes in the hopes of becoming fluent soon. I've been learning for 6 months, and have made only a small amount of progress. I consider myself to be mono-lingual still. I was learning Russian a few years ago but found there where no Russian night classes and I couldn't learn the language alone, since I gave up on the language I've largely forgotten what I had learned. I'm hoping to relearn the basics of the language in my spare time, but my focus is Japanese at the moment. That said the Russian community on italki is particularly friendly and welcoming. Finally, I used to speak Spanish. It has been 15 years since I used the language so I remember almost nothing, but I used to be conversationally fluent. I'm not interested in learning Spanish right now, but I may attempt to re-learn the language once I've become more confident in Japanese and Russian. I don't want to try to learn too much and mix everything up after all. 今日は。私のなまえビルです、イギリス人です、私は日本語の学生です。はじめまして、よろしくおねがいします。 Привет. Я учусь русский язык. Я новичок в этот. Спасибо.
