That is amazing what you have achieved and most sincere congratulations.. As someone who worked with a diverse public for many years I do know that for many people your age the task of mastering a foreign language seems impossible...and it is a misconception: there are no age limits to studying languages.. there are really no limits except for those that we set for ourselves with our minds.. Continue well on your journey..

Thank you, Christina! Muchas gracias, Yes I do practice all four languages and study them at the same time....well, I grew up to certain age in Russia ,so I am fluent in that one, but it still needs constant practice.. the other 2 (Fr/Ita ) are my ancestry, so I study these...Spanish I just started..but it is related to those..and I like it.. your comment is very kind,thank you best wishes..!

I worked on Italian for a few months, too. I hoped it would help me when I went to Italy this summer. I tried, but I have a long way to go!
¡Felicitaciones!
3 años son mucho tiempo, y me alegra ver que hay personas aprovechando ese tiempo para algo útil.
¡Sigue aprendiendo!

Thank you for the encouragement. It is getting harder, because I have reached the higher levels. That being said, I will practice some everyday to keep my streak going.

Congratulations to you... Sadly when you're younger and busy, you can't always maintain attention and streak. I frequently can't.

If I wasn't retired from teaching 34 years, I wouldn't have time either.

Hearty congratulations to you, that is a great achievement and I know the work that you have put in, I am six years older than you but my picture would look like 96! Keep going and I will be there one day soon. All the very best for you in the future.
