Again I considered what was best: to do just the one language and make rapid improvement, or to amble along on a wide front. The solution may be both! Work on Japanese for half of the time, and do a little of everything else the other half.
I update my Alexander Arguelles post and learnt something new: the distinction between a multilingual (who has simply grown up with multiple languages) and a polyglot—doing polyglottery (who deliberately learns many new languages from scratch).
In Jo Nesbo’s The Snowman, there’s quite a lot of incidental material about the dialects of Norway.
