I was too focused on sharing methods and just remembered to share with you guys my top 5 goals for 2023😜:
1. Finish my thesis.
2. Language learning: focus on Arabic and German and maintain my level of Persian and Turkish.
Bring Fusha Arabic and German to the academic level.
Finish all the basics of C1 and be able to read articles, hold speeches, and participate in academic discussions in both languages.
3. Grow the channel to 500K. Upload a new video every two weeks. Create high-quality and valuable content.
4. Do meditation every day and improve my concentration.
5. Gain 5 kg of muscle.
I would love to hear about your goals :)🥰🤩

My language goals for 2023:

- Pass the C1 exam in Polish + speak with my Polish husband only in Polish. I want to completely ban English from our home. We will speak French as well because I am French and he is learning it too, but English needs to go.
- Pass DELE B2 exam in Spanish + read a novel in Spanish + speak Spanish with my online friends on a regular basis.
- I just started learning Japanese, so my only goal is to reach N5 level, with a focus on comprehension before anything else.

I like exams, they give me something to reach for and ideas on what to study. But I know they don't represent the whole picture. Apart from English, French and Polish, I don't 'need' to speak another language. I want to learn others mostly out of cultural interest, so comprehension skills are the most valuable to me.

My biggest obstacle, especially in the new year when I’m re-evaluating and planning, is decision paralysis. I feel it is a monumental task to choose which languages to focus on when there are so many I genuinely want to learn. I struggle more with this decision than with actually studying, which I am very adept at after taking 5 languages in college. I’m facing the same dilemma again for 2023 with no resolution in sight. I’ll think I’ve made a “final decision” but a day or two later question my decision and feel compelled to change my mind 😢

Improve these languages to C2:
Pashto(C1)
Persian(B1)
Arabic(B1)
French(B1)

Learn to intermediate:
Spanish(A1)
Mandarin(A1)
Russian(A1)

Pray that Allaah guides Zoe for she is kind and open minded to the truth.

Would love your tip on how to achieve it if u got suggestions.

I don't set strict goals in language learning, because if one fails to achieve them, it results in a disappointment. I have a very general goal like this, my 2023 goal:
In French, right now I am transitioning from A2 to B1 level, so as soon as I reach a level where I can read a paragraph in news and general media at a slow pace. I will start learning a new language too. My eyes are on an Asian language this time. Haven't decided yet, its so hard to pick, whatever I see, I want to learn it all 😂

[inprogress]

Im on Lingoda too. Joined yesterday. For German.

My goal for 2023 is to reach B2 in German in 8 months.

[FruitReader]

Thank you for this video, amazing as always! Wish you the best for this new year ✨

Here are my language goals for 2023:
- English: maintain my level by reading books, watching series, and maybe speaking English with new friends.
- Chinese: reach HSK4 level to speak and understand what I'm reading and listening to + speak whole conversations with my Chinese friend.

Let's do this!

[coupstsukare]

My Language Goals for 2023:
Korean: Pass TOPIK I Level 2
Spanish: Achieve A2
Japanese: Memorize Hiragana & Katakana and recognized them easily

While watching this I realized how vague the language goals I wrote and I feel so inconsistent despite of seeing some progress because of the I don't have very specific goal, plan and not properly tracking my progress. Will now revising my goals. Thank you so much Zoe. Your videos always help me a lot on how I tackle my own language journey 💖

Beautiful!
I am in my 30's from Bosnia and my background is in Architecture. A potential firm from Germany just contacted me for a job offer. My German is A1 lvl, to be honest I love the language, I love all the languages but I struggled the most with structuring my study and work schedule. BOOM! Here I am... Watching your channel and I must say that I am astonished! I will follow your habit/routine plan from now on! My wish is to meet you one day😍in Germany! All the best to you Zoe, keep up the good work, stay happy and motivated and most importantly stay gefährlich ! 😁😎

This is the best video on YouTube. You make the best content. Thank you so much! I re-watch your videos every time I need a boost of motivation.

[mariacristinaranauro]

My language learning goals
Reach level B1 in Russian
Mantain German and French
Help my daughter with Spanish
Read two books in each of the foreign languages I speak including English because I am Italian :)

[EliseAziza]

You inspired me two things: rethinking the motivation/lack of motivation (are the goals recheable?) and vizualising obstacles and think in advance what can be done to overcome them (pour les dépasser, not sure of the expression in English ;) ) Thank you!

Hi Zoe! I wish everything will be the best for you and your family in 2023. I would like to show my gratitude to your amazing videos about language learning and life experience sharing. You just like an another me living in the parallel world with all dreams came true. I picked up my Arabic these days, after putting this language aside for 3 years, fortunately, I still have most of them in my brain, I just have to find them out from the corner. I Hope to find a chance to work and live in Middle Eastern country again. Best Wishes and Stay Safe!

Hello Zoe! I'd love to hear about your journey in learning some of your languages in particular (like French or Arabic for example), if you'd ever want to do a video about this

[douniadd]

Really really interesting video!! you always make on order and clear some ideas I have and give me new ones to learn and progress! thank you so much 🥰 ...for my goals I have a B2 in French, I want to reach a C1 this year and a B2 in English! I want to take some time to find my method and to do a schedule, I'll try to progress in the same time so I stay in the same level at least, the time I start with my schedule! thank you again Zoe 💛

سلام زو عزیز
من با دیدنت خیلی انگیزه میگیرم و یکی از مشوق های اصلی من برای یادگیری زبان هستی؛توی سال جدید می‌خوام زبان انگلیسیم را تقویت کنم و عربی یاد بگیرم 😍
امیدوارم در سال جدید کلی موفقیت بدست بیاری و سالی پر از خوشحالی و آرامش داشته باشی😍🥰

This video was so interesting, not only to set goals related to language learning, but also to setting goals in general. On top of that, I often feel like my studies make it almost impossible to do things outside of them (I do work and have 2 physical activities a week), but it's nothing compared to you. Therefore, it's really interesting to see how you combine your busy life with learning 6 languages, and it's really inspirational :).

I find it hard to set goals for 2023 as I'll graduate my Master's LEA in 2024, and therefore hope to achieve the C2 level in both English and German, and will most probably travel to Latin America by the end of it.

German: 1 hour conversation classes to challenge myself speaking about topics not related to Germany. We've been talking about natural disasters, diseases, accidents, etc, and it made me realise there's still a lot of room for improvement. I also want to continue watching Tagesschau on a daily basis.
Spanish: 2 hour classes on grammar, vocab, and conversation. My Spanish is rusty as I only obtained the B1 level recently, so I still struggle a lot. My tutor made me talk to his 13 years old niece, and we had a nice, basic conversation, but it'd be nice if I can talk about more difficult things too.

I don't feel like I must set goals for English or French because I live in France, and use English on a daily basis too. :)
