Here are my goals for 2013 (the first CEFR rating for each language listed below is my current estimated speaking level, whilst the second rating is where I hope to be by the end of the year). In the past, I've always focussed on reading levels, but this year my goals are more speaking-oriented:
German: B2 --> B2 (ideally B2+) Vorsprung Durch Technik; failing that, I'd be happy just to maintain my current level and keep the engine running. Russian: B1 --> B2 Reaching out for that all-too-elusive shiny B2 Holy Grail, will 2013 be the year? French: A2 --> B1 It's been over 20 years since learning how to ask the way to the train station; hmm, I wonder how much I'll remember... "Pour aller...à la gare,...s'il vous plaît?" It's coming back, it's coming back! Irish: A1 --> A2 On the high road with shillelagh in hand, every step brings me closer to the green grass of home. Japanese: A0+ (false beginner) --> A2 Without doubt Professor Tanaka's worst ever exchange student, I hope to make reparation for my sins and eventually take my place as his long-lost eighth prodigal samurai. Pidgin: A0+ (false beginner) --> A2 If I start speaking Pidgin (Hawaii Creole English) at length with the local mokes, I might quickly end up with a good ol' fashioned haole lickins; just imagine a southern-born Englishman enthusiastically trying his hand at Scots on a Gorbals Glasgow estate whilst wearing an "I love Nessie" t-shirt. I think I'll just settle for improving my cultural understanding here and throw in the odd phrase from time to time. Hawaiian: A0 (total beginner) --> A1 Not quite ready to become the next Big Kahuna, I'll settle for being a touristy pineapple headdress instead.

a higher level gets even more difficult with time. Wish you the best! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi, Teango!
As we’re on the same team for TAC, I will follow your log regularly. In the past years I read your previous logs (though not in their entirety): I’ve always admired your writing style. I think you’re a writer at heart and your posts are enjoyable to read even when they don’t focus on your language learning. Your introduction two pages back is simply brilliant! 1 person has voted this message useful |
