Clear The List | Monthly Language Learning Strategies Update | August
With “Back Again” complete, I’m working on my next music project, “Back 2 Back”. It’s pretty far along and I can’t wait to share it with you. I’m still keeping fairly consistent study with each of my languages and I’m getting ready for a trip to Seoul with Lindsay!
On to #clearthelist …
If you’re new around these parts, #clearthelist is a linkup where we share our monthly goals, and by we, I mean myself, and Lindsay of Lindsay Does Languages.
We’d absolutely love for you to a part of our community. You can join us by adding a link to your own goal post below.
So let’s get started, sharing our goals and motivating one another to #clearthelist!
Please feel free to tag your posts or photos with either #clearthelist on your favorite social media channels!
What’s Been Going On
This coming month, I have two trips in store, and I’ll share more on that soon. I’m working on improving one language for one, and will learn a bit of another language prior to the trip to the other.
And now you’re caught up!

The Biggest Lesson I Am Taking Away from This Month
To say no. In the past, if I started working on something or through something, I felt obligated to stick with it. Now, I’m being more selective and even minimalist in what I decide to take on and work with.
