- Basic fluency in Dutch (B2 level) with emphasis on the speaking side of things since this is the skill that is lagging behind. (By end of April)
- Pass all four parts of the NT2 II (Dutch as a Second Language) test - Start a new language and reach A2 level - Reach C1 level in Dutch by the end of the year Edited by Iolanthe on 30 March 2010 at 1:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Reach 2 or +2 on the ILR scale in Arabic (Finish Al-Kitaab/FSI Gulf Arabic/FSI Arabic Reader)
Become conversational in Turkish. The college in town is offering free Turkish tutoring!! might as well take advantage) Maintain my Japanese grammar, learn more kanji, watch more movies in Japanese and try to better understand them without subs Finally, start studying either French or German. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks to my discovery of this site a month or so ago, my passion for languages has been utterly reignited, so first of all thanks to everyone for your part in that!
So, in 2010 my goal is simply to have a go at Georgian. I'm memorizing words on Byki deluxe while I wait for Beginner's Georgian to arrive, and I'm already comfortable with the alphabet (it was surprisingly easy). If I do manage to stay motivated and get to a reasonable level, I'd like to work through Georgian: A Reading Grammar so I can achieve a standard which enables me to read Georgian texts. Since I have never met anyone from Georgia and have no plans to travel there in the near future, I guess a good reading knowledge is a sensible goal for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My goals for 2010
German: Just keep working on it. Read, write, speak, listen. Go through Teach Yourself Improve Your German and read Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen. Japanese: Finish Assimil, several seasons of Japanesepod101, other not yet decided resources. French: Complete Assimil French and Teach Yourself French* Spanish: Complete Assimil Spanish and Teach Yourself Spanish* Italian: Complete Assimil Italian. (Just Assimil since I'll just be finishing it at the end of 2010). I'm hesitant to make any level of fluency goals since I'm still pretty new to language learning. * I'm note entirely set on doing the Teach Yourself courses following the Assimil courses. Mainly, after completing the Assimil courses, I will be continuing both Spanish and French by using something else - right now Teach Yourself is my prefered option. It may change. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My goals, as I spoke of in my TAC2010 log are, for German, to finish Assimil without toil, having a good grasp of it. I'd very much like to be able to pick up a novel and start making my way through it with a dictionary without having to look up a work each sentence of course. But I realize this might be asking too much, so I'm going to say I'd like my German to be at least A2 bordering on B1 or even B1. I hope this is doable.
For Japanese, I'd like to reach lesson 14 in both the Japanese for Everyone textbook and the kanji book (meaning I'd have studied, and hopefully mastered, 258 kanji). I recently started going through my Japanese for Young People textbook (vol.1) and would also like to finish it. Would like to comfortably reach the A2 level. Specially for Japanese, I know these aren't very big goals, but I am only studying short times each day and I will be very busy in a couple of months, so I am trying to keep it reasonable so I don't get demotivated. If I do more, well, awesome! Edited by sei on 29 December 2009 at 3:20pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

First of all, I need to "finish off" English and Spanish.....when I feel more confident about my level, I'll probably study Italian and French.....but a language like Russian still grabs my interest.
