Resolutions, new processes, etc

Following on my resolutions post, here's a look at what a few other people are doing:

Edwin (Tower of Confusion) is trying out some new processes for in-context learning.

Kelly (DragonFruit), the Aspiring Polyglot, is making more use of Mandarin, but steering clear of overly ambitious resolutions.

The Cunning Linguist is going to get a better handle on what she's learned before and make sure to do more listening.

And ChineseQuest is making process resolutions instead of outcome resolutions, which makes a lot of sense since good habits are what make resolutions happen and bad habits unreformed are what gets in their way.

[Update: After a long hiatus, PolyglotToBe is back, with plans to learn 2000 words of French, German, Japanese and Italian, along with references to memory systems for doing so.]

But the Paleoglot seems a bit perplexed by others' interest in calendrical cycles.

Also, a note for language learners that a lot of you probably already thought of: Wikipedia is available in literally hundreds of languages! Scroll to the bottom, look for your language and try out a few keywords of interest. I've been getting a little bit of a feel for Breton working through the entries on Roue Arzhur (King Arthur), An Daol Grenn (The Round Table), Kaledvoulc'h (Excalibur) and Jafrez Menoe (Geoffrey of Monmouth).
