Language learning

So, I’ve been studying French and Japanese lately. I’d stick with Japanese alone, but I wanted to try out Duolingo, and it only has French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Italian. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have enough time to really learn quickly. If I devoted a few hours a day, I might get up to speed faster, but right now, I’m only doing minutes a day. I don’t think that’s sufficient.

Not sure how to get into a rhythm of spending the appropriate amount of time on learning. My job takes up most of my day, and once I’ve put the kids to bed, I’m often tired. I don’t blame myself for vegging out a little after kid bedtime. It seems to be really hard to stop myself. At some point, I have to kick that and get back on task, but then it gets quite late.

Ideally, I’d short circuit all that by getting up really early, and doing my learning tasks while I was still fresh, but I still haven’t managed to hack my sleep schedule like that.
