Finish 8 of the 12 courses at lernu.net. Then I should
be at an intermediate level for an Esperanto conference at the end of March. Complete FSI Basic Spanish by the end of the year. I'm on unit 33 of 55 now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Only God knows what my language plans for 2006 will be. Maybe I will continue learning languages of India(Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil), or maybe I will tackle some easy European language, as Finish or Hungarian, or something easier than Hungarian as Slovak, Croatian, Slovenian or Ukrainian; or maybe I will try some African tongue as Lingala, Swahili or Yoruba(which I certainly will never learn properly); or maybe I will continue to learn Classical Chinese which I am learning at snail's rapidity; if so continues I will need several lives for it; hopefully I will reincarnate in China for the next life :)))

o_O strange conception of easy! ;) I hope I'll reach an advanced level in my Norwegian: I've got so many audiobooks to listen to, a good grammar written in Norwegian, and maybe a friend of mine will send me a real Norwegian newspaper (I'm tired to read them on the internet) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well since im moving to beijing in january 2007, that gives me one
full year to bring my mandarin up to IRL level 3+ in speaking/ listening and at least a 2+ in reading. (Right now I would estimate my listening is at 2+ my speaking is at 2 (maybe even 1+)---i know lots of vocab (2000+words), but i still speak slow so that every tone is 100% accurate, and my reading is at O (i can only recognize 50 characters right now). I'll be studying fulltime there 30hrs./week classtime and my goals are 4+ across the board for speaking/ listening/reading. I'm placing no focus on writing. When I'm finished with that course of action I'll begin russian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

By the end of next year, I hope to be near FSI Level 3 in Spanish. In addition to completing FSI Spanish, I plan to study in Mexico for a month and then travel to Spain for a few additional weeks of practice. I am also studying Spanish full-time at the university level, and will continue this through the new year (although I consider these classes as complementary to my studies, as I am learning much more quickly on my own).
Hopefully after these efforts I'll have met my goal and will be ready to go on to the next language! Good luck to all and Happy New Year... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My language goals for 2006 are...
a) Sit for (and pass!) the Diplomas de espaņol - nivel inicial and nivel intermedio (if I study hard :OS) b) Move out of aupair work (where I speak way too much English) and get a job behind a bar in spain. c) Take a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (related to helping me learn future languages). At the end of the year if I am happy with my level of Spanish I will begin to embark on a new language. At the moment I am enchanted by Russian, Swedish and German. Iīve been researching teaching English in Russia and it looks fantastic, so maybe thats a possibility! My main goal is just to escape ENGLISH. Other than in my work environment I donīt want to be speaking English. I want to find a place that is remote and exciting where I will learn so much faster because I HAVE to, rather than having everyone switch into English for me the moment I get stuck. Good luck with all of your goals people. It will be interesting to look back to this in a years time! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My language goals for the following year:
1) To be good enough to participate in competition in classical languages. 2) To finally be able again to speak of Russian as of my other mother tongue (i.e.to "re-reach" fluency, for now it's very passive, hopefully I will get my mother's permission to go to Russia, and thus use it more). 3) To be able to hold a decent conversation in Modern Greek. 4) To bring my French on a level at least close to the current level of my Italian. 5) To bring my Italian to the level of my current English. Good luck to all of you with your goals. 1 person has voted this message useful |
