Days and Words | GOALS: Language Learning 2020 @daysandwords | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Goals are important to be successful in learning a foreign language, but there is a right way to set them. In my last video, I talked about why it is important to set goals in the right way, and in this video I share some specific goals I have for Swedish in 2020 and why I have set them like that. This language goals video was partly inspired by Lindie Botes and her video 12 languages for 2020 New Year Language Goals, so I am talking about my own (more humble) goals for 2020, especially Swedish. There will be another video about my French learning goals.
Whereas Lindie speaks about 12 languages, I only speak 3, so although Lindie Botes' 2020 language learning goals inspired me, I need to be careful not to try to be Luca Lampariello, Steve Kaufmann, Benny Lewis, Lina Vasquez or Ed from Double Deutsch - I like all those people and I want to be like them but my language learning goals can't be at that level yet, they can only be at my level. I can only improve on the language learning stage that I am currently at; fluent in English, reasonably conversational in Swedish and starting to become quite conversant in French. I am thinking of learning a 4th language starting at the end of 2020. In Swedish, I am trying to overcome the intermediate plateau, and I have taken some of my ideas on exactly how to do that from Lindie again:

One of my heroes is Luca Lampariello, and here is one of my favourite videos of his on how to prepare for a good language learning session:
