Here's what I think will help my French in 2015:
Get up to word 4000 (of 5000) in the Routledge French Frequency Dictionary (I'm around word 1200). I say 4000, rather than 5000 because it's a realistic push/plod goal at about 10 words per day. Complete Unit 18 (of 24) in FSI Basic French (I've been up through unit 11). Get through unit 26 (of 52) in French In Action (I'm on unit 10). Continue mastering the four French Assimil courses (NFWE, FWT, Using French, Business French). Perhaps write out NFWE as a listening/writing exercise. Learn most of the words in Barrons Mastering French Vocabulary. It has a MP3 CD and covers about 10000 words. Other more normal French activities like reading and listening, some writing, and perhaps say a few words at when it's appropriate.

I didn't even want to make some goals for I have not achieved those of 2014, not even close, but meh...
Main focus is German, with which I hope to: - be able to watch things I know without subtitles - read more than I can now (which is close to nothing but songs' lyrics without knowing >half the words) - start using it actively somehow (I'd aim for writing more than speaking, but both would be even better) - have an idea of what's going on with the language (my level is really unknown, at some things it's A1 but close to B1 with others) - listen to a pile of audiobooks I've downloaded (18 gigabytes!!! omg, how could I...) Next is Swedish, with which I would like to: - go past A1 (considering that I am A0) - still have a desire to learn it - find and L-R Millennium in Swe/Eng (or even Swe/Deu, if I suddenly become a pirate that good!) Then it's Greek, I would like to: - finally learn the alphabet, rules of pronunciation, reading and thus be comfortable with switching - find a suitable course - find good books and audiobooks (I am so not going to read the Bible...) Italian: - decide what to do about it, level 6 on Duolingo ruined down to zero when I've tried strengthen my skills Other languages: - L-R Les rois maudits for fun and to be sure that I am not going to do anything with French - Patiently wait for Esperanto course on Duolingo 1 person has voted this message useful | |

German
I'd really like to get back to my Chinese and I've started again with Anki and a HSK 1 pack. But my German still feels awkwardly jammed into my life in fits and starts rather than a more organic 'fun' past time. But that's to do with my life in general, not learning German specifically.

Same as last year more or less. I hit B2 listening for Cebuano and Spanish last year for 3 days. Then it went
away. It doesn't seem unreasonable to recapture it this year. No more Hungarian. I don't have the time :p 1 person has voted this message useful | |

For this year I'd like to really get my Mandarin up. I've been living in Beijing the last 5 months and plan to stay here another year. In the last 5 months I've learned a decent amount of Mandarin, enough to easily get by in my normal day-to-day tasks and have simple chats. I can recognize a few important characters and have simple written conversations in Chinese. However a lot of these past 5 months have mainly been a settling in and adjustment period (lifestyle, jobs everything). So now that I feel comfortable in China and living in Beijing, I'm going to really focus on my Chinese and try to attain a higher level by the end of the year. I'd like to push it up to B1.5 at least, so it's something I can slam on my CV too :).
Other than Chinese, I'm going to read the news in Dutch every day and I have 3 Russian books I'm going to read by November. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
