My new year plan is not late. It is right on time. Happy Chinese New Year!

The global financial crisis has lead me to reorganize my priorities. Thousands of jobs are being cut across the globe in recent weeks. In fact, I just managed to survive a bloodshed last week. It seems to me that at this time it is much more important to sharpen my sword than anything else. Thus, my new year direction will be to invest in anything that would increase my own value in the job market.

Putting this direction into the context of language learning, I would need to re-prioritize my target languages. No doubt, English will come first, followed by Mandarin. Then I have decided to put Spanish next, before French. Cantonese, my native tongue, will be the last.

I will probably not go into details about my plan, as it will run for too long, and will probably not interest many of you.

Another area which I promise to do is to post more often in this blog. In the coming year, I have decided to shorten my posts, and hopefully I can produce more of them and still keep them interesting.
