Official language goals for 2011:
1) Be able to understand 95%-100% of all spoken French I hear and improve my understanding of the ortography of this language
2) Get to my current level of speaking, writing and reading of French in Spanish, which combined with Spanish' ortography being around ten times easier to me and understanding the spoken language easily should just about make me quite 'fluent'
3) Become "fluent" in Swedish... I should be able to get there. Also, pass my matriculation exam in February in this language with an honorable grade.
4) Maybe try starting to finally get somewhere in Russian
5) Avoid the darned wanderlust like a plague

My goal is to be able to move Italian from my Studies: list to my Speaks: list. I have started reading a novel for the
first time, and I have surprised myself with how much I can understand of it. So this year will be concentrated on
that.
I also aim to use my French more. I work primarily with French and Italian people, so there is no excuse for me not
to be using it.

I'm going to focus mainly on French. My goals are understanding the french news for 70% (at least), working through the books I use now to learn French. Reading a French novel. Acquiring basic fluency.
Beside this, my goals are:
[Edit] Working through Assimil Russian and finishing an other book to learn the basics of Russian.
Learning to communicate in Esperanto.

Perhaps it's helpful for my motivation to officially announce some goals for 2011:
1. Spanish: Pass the DELE B2 exam in November and read at least 8 Spanish novels.
2. Norwegian: Hopefully there'll be enough participants to continue with my Norwegian course which should get me to B1 by the end of the year; read at least 2 Norwegian novels.
3. Japanese: Continue with my course and get to A2 by the end of the year
4. Czech: A2 by the end of the year.

My language goals for 2011 are to continue my language learning project Turkish / Danish as it is described in my TAC-log. A big success will be, if I can enhance my modest little skills of communicating in Danish and start communication in Turkish. And we'll see how much I can say in Danish, when I visit Copenhagen in summer 2011.

Ideally, I'd like to get my Norwegian up to C1, my Polish up to a strong B2 and my Turkish up to a B1.
What will probably happen is they'll all be somewhere between B1 and B2.
And I'd still be happy with that.
