My 7 language learning goals:

1. Acquire words. Passive vocabulary is the best measure of my potential in a language.

2. Read a lot. Reading is easier to understand than listening. I may read new material or re-read old material, but I read every day.

3. Listen everywhere. I listen every day, either repeatedly as a beginner, or more extensively as I progress in a language.

4. Speak when I have the chance. With enough input, I find it easier to speak and do so without worrying about how I do.

5. Focus on grammar at the right time. With enough exposure to the language, enough errors in speaking, I circle back to improve my usage.

6. Write as required. Writing is a great way to improve but how much I write depends on my needs.

7. Culture. My ultimate goal in learning a language is to connect with the culture and history of the language. I can start doing this at any time, but fid it most satisfying only after I have achieved a good level of comprehension and familiarity with the language.
