Not much energy for language learning at the moment...

So am likely to be quiet on here for a little while unless I suddenly manage to pick up momentum with Japanese again.  Keep meaning to go back to Duolingo and tinker with German again, and if Duolingo delivers the long-promised Chinese course, I might have a go at that.  A recent article claims that they're hoping to add up to 50 languages within the next few months, via the magic of crowdsourcing.  This sounds ambitious, but we shall see.
