I've taken a couple of 8-week courses on beginner Middle Egyptian and it was so much fun.
I can't wait to have the time and mental space to go back to it
I mean look at these handwritten exercises, what other language course will make you draw tiny birbs and pharaohs

My year in language learning:
I use the forest app to track the time I spend studying or using my target languages.
This helps me keep track and stay motivated (not for comparison, everyone has their own journey 💜)
January:
Middle Egyptian 14.5h
French 12.5 h
Japanese 8h

Japanese reading today 📖
Some words I learnt:
ダブダブしたマント: Baggy/loose cloak
オールバックにした髪: swept back hair
ロイド眼鏡: Round glasses with thick plastic rims (apparently because they're made from celluloid and famously worn by actor Harold Lloyd)
上気: flushed (face)
妖術: black magic
襞: folds, pleats

So I was reading about classical Japanese and the book talked about an expression of Buddhist origins and one thing led to another and I'm learning the Sanskrit alphabet.
(The saying was something like "With varying degrees but everyone has the three poisons")

Today I did some latin! I've been going through a beginner textbook to review what I studied in high school.
Today I worked on an adapted versión of a woman's travel diary through Palestine, which is a genre I love. I would love to read the original when I'm more advanced.
