Last Month’s Goals
I didn’t have any since it’s been some time since I’ve done a Clear the List.
This Month’s Goals
Start digging into Scottish Gaelic. // This is my newest and 17th language. I’m very excited to take it on.
Maintain my vocabulary learning streak. // I use Memrise to study vocabulary on a daily basis. I use some community decks, some Memrise decks, but mostly focus on decks I’ve created myself. I currently have streaks on Drops, Memrise, and Duolingo.
Keep working through my YouTube Queue. // I have more than 2,000 videos in my YouTube to watch queue – mostly language learning videos, but also videos on things that can help my language learning overall (like how to use Notion better, how to be more productive, etc.)
Keep reading Game of Thrones in Russian. // I love reading and one of the ways I can re-read books I love guilt-free (rather than reading something new) is by reading in one of my target languages.
Keep reading Eye of the World in Hungarian. // Same as above.
Read in French. // Same as above.
