Snowflake Challenge #4

[kate]

A goal is defined as the object of a person's ambition or effort. For this challenge, you are to make a goal or two or, well, as many as you wish to.

Well, I'll pick a continuation of an old goal and a continuation of a new goal.

1. I want to write every day of 2021. I managed it in 2020 and wrote over 300k words. I plan to do that again this year, and I hope to post more of them.

2. I've started learning Chinese on Duolingo and I'm going on like, 24 days continuous, I think? I'm not going to pretend I can do this every day, but I will try for as long as I am able, and I am enjoying the hell out of it so far. It's fascinating trying to pick out characters I know in subtitles and hear words I recognize in the shows I watch. I'm watching accompanying youtube stuff about simple phrases and different radicals and stuff and that's mostly for interest and fun (I don't know how much of it really sticks right now, and honestly it's not much more than background noise but I truly believe in learning by osmosis).

That's enough, I think. :)

Those are great goals! When I was in junior school we had a Chinese exchange teacher and she taught us a little of the language, both spoken and written, just for fun. I'd love to be able to write Chinese characters, I live the way they look.

Good luck with your goals. 🙂

Oh, that's awesome! When I was in gradeschool (in my teenie tiny town), we had a lady from France that taught us some basics of French and I continued that on through college. I love learning languages, and Chinese is really awesome (if intimidating), so I'm really liking it a lot. :D
