Last Month’s Goals
Continue filling the gaps in my Mandarin vocabulary I’ve noticed since Little Linguist’s arrival. // Little Linguist had a couple of Chinese lessons this month and I’ve been doing my best to keep our playtime in Chinese. Now that the move is over, we’ll hopefully be able to get into a more consistent routine.
Maintain my vocabulary learning streak. // I missed a few days this month, but overall, maintained daily learning. The days I missed were because it was after midnight before I checked the time (it was during moving days).
Keep working through my YouTube Queue. // I feel like I’ve added more video lessons this month than I’ve studied, but I found several Hungarian vloggers that talk about language learning in Hungarian, so I’m very excited to get to them.
Fluent in 3 Months Challenge // I’m behind doing my day 30 video, but I’ll have it to share soon.
Keep reading Game of Thrones in Russian. // My tutor and I are reading through this together and discussing it each week. We’ve been keeping on track with it.
Study Stranger Things in Hungarian. // Likewise, my Hungarian tutor and I are discussing Stranger Things in Hungarian each week. We’ve done one lesson doing this so far, and are keeping with it.
Find a new Japanese tutor. // I found one! We’ve had a couple lessons now and I like her teaching style.
Maintain my weekly lessons in each language. // With the exception of the “offsite” week for work, I managed to have lessons every week for the six languages I’m working on actively this month. #majorwin
This Month’s Goals
Continue filling the gaps in my Mandarin vocabulary I’ve noticed since Little Linguist’s arrival. // I want to make sure Little Linguist keeps up his Chinese lessons and play. I’d also like to incorporate some Chinese reading each night.
Maintain my vocabulary learning streak. // This has been a great way for me to really get back into my language studies, and it’s an easy thing I can do each day to maintain contact with my languages. I’d like to maintain this.
Keep working through my YouTube Queue. // I really want to work my way up to those new Hungarian videos I found!
Fluent in 3 Months Challenge // I’ll be preparing for Day 60 in the challenge.
Keep reading Game of Thrones in Russian. // This has been an enjoyable way to work on Russian on my own and with my tutor and I’m learning loads of fun vocabulary.
Study Stranger Things in Hungarian. // Same as above with Russian.
