Something New (No 9)
After the success of German with Duolingo last year, I've started the Hungarian course, since we're planning on going to Budapest in the autumn. It is not easy and I'm not convinced I'm learning much, but I shall keep going for the moment. The simple exercise of hearing and seeing Hungarian for a few minutes every day will at least give a certain familiarity.
And on the note of being prepared to try new things, I've signed up for a day workshop in sketching at Nature in Art, which is where I made the Christmas wreath. It's not until September - they run a selection of workshops throughout the year on different art forms. It said it was open to everyone who wants to draw, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I'm also trying out a little sketching here and there -- I'm not taking any classes, it's all just me fooling around with a sketch pad and some colored pencils, but it's fun and I hope to do more of it this year. I hope you'll share some of your drawings with us when the time comes!

I've done a little sketching - mostly drawing little sketches of paintings we've seen in various galleries. I think having a little professional help might enable me to get more out of it. I'm sure I shall be posting something.

Oh, I'm so envious of your sketching class. I took one art class 20 years ago but it was wonderful. I look forward to seeing what you learn.

It will be interesting - I'm looking forward to it.

(or maybe he didn't know how to explain, of course))
anyhow, I wish you lots of success both with language learning and drawing!

You will - I'm sure I shall blog about it.

I'd heard Finnish and Hungarian were related, but it doesn't sound quite as close as I'd been led to believe.
