How I did it
How to reread the whole Harry Potter series this summer
It took me
1 month
It made me
Happy!

How I did it: Looking at the symbols on the page, then using my brain to translate the symbols into recognizable objects or ideas, then arranging them into a coherent whole. Read how I did it…

learn at least one foreign language
Candidates 5 months ago

So I’m not going to attempt this until I get to college, but some potential candidates would be:
Italian -This would be fun to learn, and not hugely difficult as I’ve already taken classes in Spanish and Latin
Arabic -Would be very cool to know, especially the writing
Chinese -Incredibly useful, but incredibly difficult. I would learn Mandarin, not Cantonese
Japanese -Same as Chinese, but slightly easier and perhaps more interesting. Less people speak it though
German -I just think this would be so fun to speak
Spanish -By far the most common language on the list, and probably the most useful, but I’ve already tried it and didn’t like it.
Russian -A lot of people speak it, and there’s a lot of interesting stuff written in it.
Hindi -Another big language, but I don’t know enough about it yet.
