Wow, you even add covers to fics and prettify them? XD; Hm, I've never used Calibri before. Maybe I should! Since I do have stuff I'd like to convert for my tablet.
Bittersweet Sweetness has been nearing the finale for quite some time. I'm just really bad at... wrapping things up. OTL Invincible still has a long, long way to go! I'm kind of feeling daunted at the moment, haha, because I've barely scratched the surface of what I wanted to do with the fic.
Mostly! It's more borrowing the context clues to understand though~. I don't recognize every single word used (especially not in isolation), but I'm very good at understanding the general meaning. I'm Chinese American, so Chinese is part of my background. :) Except, my Chinese lessons were limited to only once a week when I was young, so it's not nearly at the level of people who study it all the time in actual Chinese schools. But I am immersed in Chinese all the time, since I speak it at home, and I love to read manga and novels in Chinese, so that helps! I wouldn't really be able to give a time length for it... since it would probably equate to my entire life. (Even if it's not formally studying the language...just learning by osmosis through reading, haha)
