Well, I learned a little Japanese, which is to say up through Japanese 201 in college. This would be the first semester of intermediary Japanese, so not exactly fluent. Beyond that was Japanese 301 and 302, which would be advanced Japanese, and then there were courses beyond. For comparisons sake, we had only learned a few dozen Kanjii, and my understanding is one would have to know around 1,500 or more to read a Japanese news paper.
Of course, that's small compared to the number of Chinese characters one would need to be able to understand, to read Chinese, so...
But and this said, it was around 2005, so even having partially learned, a bit rusty. But wasn't enough to be what one could term fluent yet... I was in college until 2006, where I had to leave before I got my second degree as intended, as my father had a stroke, and at the time I was a full time student. Then in the years to come I looked for a job, but the bad economy hit New Mexico before the rest of the US where it came to a head in 2008 with the financial meltdown that took Lehman Brothers and laid at the head of some of the international financial crisis we're seeing today.
My mother was then taking care of my father, but she's also elderly (was born in 1938, my father was in 1925) and it proved too much for her. She then had a stroke in Septermber of 2008, which is when I rushed to move. I'm planning on returning to school, but after my fiances are in order. Especially considering that my plans have somewhat changed, and I'm currently looking towards enrolling at Drexel, and taking the degree I did get in computer networking (was also looking at computer engineering when I was out in New Mexico), and apply for a degree program they have in computer security, which leads to a masters with them in homeland security... Drexell is a little pricey, but also fits from what I had studied, and what I'm looking to study, so there'd be a lot more transfer credits, to prevent me from having to repeat years there, vs elsewhere. It's just a better fit tieing in what I had studied, to where I'm looking to go, career wise, at present. Well if things improve enough to look ahead towards building a career. The US is still in a bit of an economic depression, or deep recession, however some politicians or some in the news media might try to describe it...
Anyhow, that's far afield, but my studies were cut somewhat, unexpectedly short. I'll sort it out though, hopefully... |
