    I used to be fluent in french (in fact I knew more french than english as a child) but I haven't spoken it in 10 years so I need some refresher courses so it's a lot easier to get back to fluent than with Japanese which I've been studying lightly for a couple years now.

    I do study Japanese way more often than French. Usually reading a few times a week. It has however gotten to the point where I can read Japanese much better than I can speak or understand it spoken to me.

    At least there are very good literature books in French to read through! Or you can read maths books :)

    Il n'y a pas beaucoup mieux dans les autres langues dans ces deux domaines!

    My goals are basically the same like last year.

    - Learn new stuff - Push myself out of my comfort zone - Get stuff done

    In specifics: - Improve in Substance Designer and Maya - Pick up working with Substance Painter - Finish at least one mapping related project (Still haven't decided whether I want to re-work/"re-polish" Manor or start something fresh)

    2017 has been a weird and slightly frustrating year in general. So off we go to 2018 with lots of lessons learned!

    C'est noté!

    If you want to open a French thread to practice, we'll be happy to help :)

    No specific goals for 2018... I'll just go with the flow and enjoy moments as they come

    like a leaf... blowing in the wind...

    Ah, that time of the year when the pokemon theme is playing in the background and everyone sets their goal to be the very best. Should add it to the OP.

    Three quarter review:

    ☑️ Got hired as a Level Designer

    ☑️ Cut weight down to about 10-12% bodyfat

    As for the rest of the year, I’ll just ride it out. I’ll be the best husband and father I can be and get cool shit done at work. I’ve been working on my own game recently, but I’ll save the goal of finishing that for another year.

    I was stronger when I was 26, but this is the leanest I’ve ever been :) these days I stick to cardio and compound excercises only. Diet has been very strict the past 3 months, no sugar, no alcohol, no high GI carbs such as pasta, soft bread, white rice etc and no trans fats. l mainly eat vegetables such as spinach, olives, bell peppers, tomatoes, a little bit of dairy such as mozzarella and feta cheese, fish of all sorts, eggs, chicken, peanut butter, apples, brown rice, hard bread, lenses. Stuff like that. I guess you could call it old school mediterranean diet. None of that french fries crap. I don’t count calories, but I estimate that I hit about 2k daily. I’m down 15 cm around that waist, slimming 1 to 1.5 cm per week.
