What are your Language Goals for 2022?

For 2022 my plan is to read (and listen to) the full Harry Potter series in Norwegian and French. I also want to get Russian, Finnish, and Irish to an upper beginner level, at least. In each of those three I have between 60-100+ hours of study, with lots of gaps (especially Irish).

I want to start limited output in each of those languages, so I will be using journaly.com for writing practice (1x/week/language) and, with staggered starts throughout the year, find someone to practice speaking with on tandem, italki, or discord.

Also, I get a great joy from playing around in lots of different languages. In the past Iā€™ve tried restricting myself to a single focus language, but its not ideal for me. This year Iā€™m embracing that I enjoy dabbling, so I will allow myself to indulge, guilt-free, so long as I work on at least three of my main languages daily prior.

Edits: I forgot that there may be a trip to Greece and/or Japan in a few years, so Iā€™d like to get those to at least a travel-usable level. Its still a ways off, so thereā€™s no rush, and no need to reach a high level.

Among dabbling languages there is a priority. German, Italian, Danish, and Portuguese will probably get more time than others. Not on Lingq Iā€™ll likely continue putting more time into Maltese. I also got Assimil Occitan and Breton, and will be looking at Occitan early in the year, and Breton later in the year.

To make my first major breakthrough in Russian. At my current rate of progress, that is pretty certain to take place. It is tough work though.

Italian:

  • Reach 20k known words
  • Reach 200 hours of listening
  • Reach 50 hours of speaking/conversation time
  • Read 10 books

Polish:

  • Reach a high enough level in Italian so I can afford to dedicate some amount of time consistently to Polish every day; so, not really any specific goal. Iā€™d just like to get started in the language and maybe start conversing a little by the end of the year

Stick it out. Itā€™s doable. I can understand some podcasters now after a hard slog of 400 some hours of listening to what sounded like gibberish at the beginning.

Nice one! We ā€œjustā€ make composite words out of nouns all the time, so you say ā€œWelche Sprachziele hast du fĆ¼r 2020?ā€ Important: The noun that carries the meaning is the latter world and this one also gives you the gender.
ā€œWƤre diese Frage richtig auf Deutschā€ is the correct word order, since in questions the verb is put in front of the noun. Hope this helped. :slight_smile:

I want to reach 22.000 known words at the end of the year in Croatian. It would be great to start French but first I want to progress in Croatian.
My biggest goal is to understand spoken Croatian so I can listen comfortably to podcasts or watch a movie.

Mine is a simple one - Make contact with the language every single day, and not to have weeks/months with no contact at all. Iā€™ve never once been able to do that after 8-9 years of Spanish. I think the longest Iā€™ve ever done was almost 3 months. I wonder where it would take me if I put in a couple of hours/day for an entire year. My guess is Iā€™ll never find out, but I can at least make it a goal. So far so good for 2022, haha.
