Sometimes I do manage to stick at things, at least for a while. Today, for example, my current streak on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/profile\/Omniglossia\">Duolingo<\/a> reached 1,628 days. I&#8217;m learning Japanese and Spanish there, and keeping my Danish and Swedish ticking over. I&#8217;m also learning Dutch on Memrise, although I do miss occasional days. I don&#8217;t plan to learn any new languages for now, but who knows what could happen.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile on Omniglot, I will carry on adding new material and improving the existing pages.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m taking a break from the monthly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/radio\/\">Radio Omniglot<\/a> podcasts after reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/radio\/?p=1652\">episode 50<\/a> in December, but will keep making the weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/radio\/?cat=98\">Adventures in Etymology<\/a> series and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/radio\/?cat=108\">Omniglot News<\/a> podcasts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/SimonAger\/videos\">videos<\/a>. I also plan to add a new series &#8211; Celtic Routes &#8211; which will explore links within the Celtic language family, and between Celtic languages and other European languages. This will be based on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/celtiadur\/\">Celtiadur blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;ve finally found a way to reduce some of the clutter of ads at the bottom of the pages on Omniglot.com using a PHP script that displays a different banner each time you refresh the page. Ideally there wouldn&#8217;t be any banners or other ads, but I do sort of need to make a living, and the ads help with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you make New Year&#8217;s resolutions?
