I plan to start a thread on the difference between plans and goals.

Plans are fuzzy with no obligations, and goals are detailed and with obligations? Rather than start in 2015, I have some goals I would like to start now (why wait until later?) 1. Finish learning all the kanji radicals from the book "Let's Learn Kanji!" by at least February, if not by January. 2. Write regular updates on my log again (the past few weeks have been weird). 3. Really work on Spanish Super Challenge (I'm soo behind on reading). 3.5 Work on Spanish in general. 4. Hammer on Japanese grammar and vocab. Now, the next part of the goal-making: how shall I accomplish these tasks. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This is a bit of a mix between plans and forecasts, but here’s what’s probably gonna happen to me:

By end June-end december 2015, I would like to:
- get to B2 in Italian (if not more) - get to B2 is Spanish - get to B1 in German - if there is still some time left, get as far as possible in Esperanto - same, with Portuguese - also maybe confirm a C1 in Dutch - and possibly finally getting to English C2, if it's not done yet But I always tempt to try and bite off more than I can chew, so I may not archieve one (some) of my objectives 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My plan is unexciting but it's what I feel is best: just keep doing what I'm currently doing. That is, French and Italian. Particularly speaking skills (fluency, pronunciation and accent, correctness) but also listening, reading, and all the rest.
I've decided I'd rather focus on these two and get to a satisfactory level, which is probably a several-year project, before putting more languages into the mix. For that reason, I recently decided to stop studying Spanish. I hope to keep my Spanish alive with Anki reps and a bit of input, and only restart actively studying it if I have a good reason, like a trip to Spain or spending a lot of time with native speakers. Any new languages outside of these three are out of the question, apart from basic tourist phrases for trips since I'm planning on doing a reasonable bit of travel, although no definite plans yet in that respect. I don't have any concrete goals about reaching particular levels etc.; I've been doing this long enough to know that there's no point! Things change, I never know how much time I'm going to have, and as an example, having never reached C1 in any language I still have no idea how much time and effort is involved. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Have a successful 2-3 months in Central America.
Bring my Spanish up to the level where I can freely read. Watch as many Spanish films as possible this summer. Ideally, I could start on French during the fall while maintaining Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

* Bring my Spanish to a very high level. I want to increase both input and output. I want to read literature originally
written in Spanish. * Decide what I want to do with Tagalog. Honestly, while my love for Spanish hasn't ebbed a bit, Tagalog is a bit of a struggle at times. I'm currently thinking that my main interest in Tagalog is being able to understand it. I don't need to speak it fluently, but I do want to be able to follow along with conversations. I don't know if it's the materials that I'm using (which are much more "school-like" than the materials I used for Spanish), but learning Tagalog just isn't as intrinsically motivating as learning Spanish was. So I have to figure out what I want, and how I can get there. * I will either start learning Russian in May 2015, or else I will start guitar lessons. Up until this week, I was pretty set on Russian. But now I'm thinking that I might alternate a new language one year with a different kind of skill the next year. 1 person has voted this message useful |
