I've Decided To Become A Polyglot

As of today, I've decided to start becoming a polyglot. This'll be a rather hard task, but I am willing to do it even though it will take several years. I currently know English, but am learning French as of this time (I can use it, albeit very poorly and I often don't know what word I need to describe something).

The current list of languages I intend to learn are the following: Latin, Greek, German, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Portugese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic

Latin for the ancient Roman texts. Greek for ancient Greek stuff along with the New Testament of the Bible. German, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and Portugese for a variety of reasons, most notably communicating with frens (though Romanian I don't have any frens who speak it). Russian for books like "War And Peace" along with just the memes. Japanese, Chinese, and Korean for a variety of rasons, most notably ancient texts + gaming stuff (the latter for Japanese mainly based off what I play). Hebrew and Aramaic for the Old Testament of the Bible. Arabic currently out of mere interest, though if I learn it then I might read the Quran too.

Should be fun, though it'll be a while before I learn all of them. I will maintain frequent usage of the languages in order to not get worse at them overtime. From my experience with French, I've already begun noticing some similar things between French and Latin, such as the word "est" XD.

I obviously will take several years to learn them all even if I did nothing but learn these languages, but I intend to become mostly fluent in French by the end of the year + having started using Latin too at the very least. Don't have much left to say, though if you have anything interesting I should read that's written in these languages, feel free to share it below. Same for videos, podcasts, forums or IRC chats that use one of these, etc. I'm going to have to get keyboards for all the non-Latin languages such as Russian and Hebrew, but whatever. Russian, Greek, and maybe Japanese are all typeable on 3DS I believe which may make them easier to use when I'm not on computer.

kthxbye
