Last Month’s Goals
Continue filling the gaps in my Mandarin vocabulary I’ve noticed since Little Linguist’s arrival. // We read a book in Mandarin each night, watch movies, and do other bits of immersion at home.
Maintain my vocabulary learning streak. // YES!
Keep working through my YouTube Queue. // I didn’t work on this during the month of June, so I’ll keep it on the list.
Fluent in 3 Months Challenge // In progress.
Keep reading Game of Thrones in Russian. // Yes! I’ve continued reading and discussing Game of Thrones with my Russian tutor.
Study Stranger Things in Hungarian. // Yes! We’ve completed two whole episodes and are getting into our third.
Begin to do some coursebook work. // I also haven’t managed to incorporate this yet, so it stays on for next month!
Maintain my weekly lessons in each language. // Yes! Some of my tutors are on holiday and I took a week off for our company offsite, but otherwise, I kept this up.
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 and continue reading with him each night.
Maintain my vocabulary learning streak. // This has been a great way to rebuild my language routine, so it’s staying on the list!
Keep working through my YouTube Queue. // Since I didn’t start this last month, I’d like to work this in this month.
Fluent in 3 Months Challenge // The end of my Russian challenge is coming up!
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.
