Continue studying Spanish to an intermediate level. Hopefully I will reach my goals with Spanish by mid year.
I'd like to begin anew with French, with the goal of reaching a high intermediate level by mid year. Good French gives me access to many good Assimil courses! Start working on Russian with a goal of reaching a high beginner or low intermediate level by the end of next year. I plan on taking it slow with Russian so I don't scare myself away from it :) Once I've reached my goals in French and Spanish, and I feel Russian is going well, I want to start one other language, German, Swedish, or even Japanese.

Keep studying Russian, get to intermediate level by end of the year.
Get back into Spanish, stronger conversational fluency with more vocabulary. Slowly but surely add more German vocabulary over the course of the year (not sure what method yet)...conversational fluency as the year-end goal. Start Turkish, work to a moderately comfortable beginner level. Read Swedish once every few days, listen to Swedish radio, etc....get back up to intermediate level through passive learning. Not really goals: flirt with French, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well. Having put some thought into this I'll say:
Take my C1/C2 Spanish exam (gulp) and have a 10,000 word working vocabulary. Carry on with my Polish Take my Swedish past the phrasebook plus vocabulary stage into native materials. After that it depends on how my business requirements change. In order of interest for me are Improve my Italian (should be fairly pain free). Continue revising Joyou Kanji (including the new ones) But it will probably pan out that I improve my German 1 person has voted this message useful | |

As for me, my goals are the following:
- Dele B2 (Nivel Intermedio) by May 2011; - N2 (previously known as "JLPT 2") by December 2011 (by the way, quick question: what level do you consider this certification is according to the "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages"?); - keep my English at "high" (or at least "decent"...) levels. I've recently got interested in Afrikaans too (but only God knows whether I'll eventually start seriously learning it or not... eheheh) :) Edited by Fabrizio on 13 December 2010 at 11:44pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm roughly half way through FSI German right now, so I certainly want to finish that program this year.
As a general rule, I don't like the idea of studying more than one language at the same time. That being said, I have never studied more than one language at once before, and I don't think I can hold off Italian any longer (I really, really want to go back, but I want to speak it first), so I'm going to start Assimil Italian in the next few days. I would like to hit B2 as a minimum by the end of the year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Since I’ve managed to read at least a book (novel or drama) in four languages this year, I think it would be great if next year I read a book in all five of my languages.
Apart from that, I don’t like making plans for the future, because I’m hopeless when it comes to keeping them. I must admit, though, that I’m pondering whether it’s time to bursh up my long-neglected German and I’m not ruling out starting a new language altogether: I’ve kept wanderlust at bay this year, but I’m not sure I can do the same next year. If I choose to pick up another language the most likely candidates right now are Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. 1 person has voted this message useful |
