I would like to start 40 new languages courses, but I need to be more realistic, so these are my goals:

German: at least B2. I must to finish Pimsleur method before february and start to read news and some blogs (anyone can recommend me some?). I'm in the way right now

French: Reach C1 Certification. I have to recover my ancient skills, long ago forgotten.

Portugues: Reach C1 Certification. I'm going to start in July, i also need to recover ancient skills

English: Improve my Toefl Score (87). Perhaps a C1 certification Try to get a British accent

Start a new language (I hope it would be Basque because I travel to Bilbao to do a Master title).

Polyglottery: Start a multilingual blog (I have already one in Spanish), write in this forum very often

Good luck gor everyone

I've read the entire post and I could see that some members talk about Assimil method. Is it as good as you say? Where could I find it?

For many languages, you can just go to www.wordpress.com and choose a language in the drop-down box. I do this to find German, Swedish, and Esperanto blogs to read, and there are plenty more languages in the list.

German fluency - This means a C1 or C2 level. We'll see what happens. I've never taken a
language to fluency other than English (native), so this will be fun. I have a new TAC
log

Wow...2010... Here are my goals:

ENGLISH: Native Fluency (my proficiency has gone down lately)
ESPAÑOL: Native or Very-Near Native Fluency
PORTUGUÊS: Advanced Fluency
FRANÇAIS: Advanced Fluency
ITALIANO: Basic Fluency (at least)
DEUTSCH: Basic Fluency
ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ: Basic Fluency
日本語: High Intermediate Level
SVENSKA: Basic Fluency

EDIT: This was originally a very long post with lots of mini-goals, but it looked a bit annoying in a public thread, so I shortened it. The full thing is in my log.
