Language learning goals and polyglot plan for 2021 🤓

"Why am I in a hurry to learn languages?" I think that is so inspiring. I feel like a lot of language learners, I included, are tryna learn languages as fast as possible like there is no tomorrow. I think taking it slow, will help us learn the languages better and also have more time to rest.

Hey Lindie, you probably won't see this comment but I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration. I decided to try and learn Korean and Mandarin because of your channel and I'm hoping to start German soon. I'm already bilingual (hindi and english) but I needed a little extra motivation to pick up a new language and you gave me that. Thanks xx

[@starswnames]

i guess your comment gave me motivation to start learning korean now. i’ve also been consuming korean content for three years now (or four) gut gave up on learning the language cuz i thought i wouldn’t be able to make it (and same as you, i’m a bilingual so this is nonsense). hope i can watch going seventeen w/o subtitles someday 🥲 do u mind me asking what is your native language? & good luck with your studies!!

Nice! What are you watching in French? And translation challenges sound like such a good idea!

[@MATTierial]

@@LindieBotes have you heard of BALO? He's a French Graphic Design KZbinr that covers interesting design challenges. I just started watching him recently. Then have you heard of the channel "Easy Languages?" They have interviewers around the globe and they go out on the street and interview native language speakers about simple topics, and subtitle them in the native language and English (they may have more subtitles available too?). It's been helpful for both French and Japanese :) Otherwise, when I look something up for work, sometimes I'll look it up in French. I got that idea from you :)

[@MATTierial]

@@LindieBotes my translation challenges are usually this: if i get a song stuck in my head, I'll challenge myself to translate it into french on the spot. Then, I'll look up words that i stumbled on afterwards. This most often happens in the shower 😅 "Alors je dis... Merci pour la musique, les chansons que je chante. Merci pour la joie qu'elle m'apporte!" Also, ABBA is the most common band 😅

[@AlinefromToulouse]

I'm glad to see that some language learners do translation, it is rarely mentioned as a language learning activity on KZbin. I don't translate myself, I take an existing text in the target language and it's translation.

I always plan my language learning journey but what I have noted is that I spend too much energy most of the time planning and scheduling things than actually spending my time learning....I agree... we should relax more about the way we should approach our target language instead of feeling the pressure of working on deadlines and schedules. At the end motivation is what is going to keep ourselves on track!!!! Best wishes for your language learning journey!!!!!

My goals for this year is to improve all the languages i speak. I did achive my goals last year and i did improve in all of them and i learned how to read in khmer (took 2 to 3 months was very hard) but i cant write hardly at all because the spelling is so hard (for reference theres 23 vowels and each vowel in writing has 2 different sounds and theres 30 consanamts and many of them are similar, often 2 of the same sounds the only difference is the way the vowel sounds when you pair them together) so i hope i can learn to write in 2021

[@paulwalther5237]

I can’t believe I watched a language blog and thought “Only two languages!?” Your pace sounds much more in line with what I would do for myself in your situation. I’ve got this image in my head of you as a language learning super woman. Anyway, iTalki lessons every other week per language sounds like a great pace. Even once every week it feels like I’m in school or something. That sounds more enjoyable. I’m focusing on two languages to start 2021 too. Japanese pitch accent and I’m hoping to break out of beginner Korean.

when you said tagalog, it's sounded natural! but i would like to emphasize that our official langiage is called "Filipino", tagalog is like only a dialect, btw there are so many other languages in philippines like chavacano (broken spanish, but it's more close to Portuguese), bicol, hiligaynon, etc.

I know almost nothing about design but I always find it interesting to learn a little bit about others' fields. ^^

Do you feel like it helps to have clear goals for the year? I generally just make sure I have a system in place to study my target language regularly so that I improve. Do you think I should also set some goals?

[@SomedayKorean]

@@AfroLinguo Depends on the person, I suppose. I like the process of setting goals because it makes me really think through what I want to accomplish and where I envision myself in a year (or however long the time span is that you're setting goals for). It's also fun for me to look back at the end of the year and see if my motivations/priorities have changed throughout the year. Whether or not you set goals, though, is totally up to you. If you have a study system in place, then it sounds like you're set up for success as well. It probably wouldn't hurt to set some goals, though, because I find that after setting goals, I often get a boost of motivation haha. Again, totally up to you, though.

Such great advice! I love small goals. I've added "journal a paragraph" and "watch a video/listen to a podcast" to my weekly to-do's, and am excited to see how these new habits grow.

[@LindieBotes]

Yay! I hope to be able to read your paragraphs one day 💞

I have been consuming Korean Dramas, Variety Shows and Music for a couple of years now. I have my first class in the coming week and this channel has really helped me curb my anxiety about learning the Korean Language as I am a slow learner. I am bilingual (English and Malay) as well and I hope that will help me. Thank you for this. It really helps. Definitely interested to understand other fields.

[@artemislespagnard3047]

Our points of view are just so differents so it's always super interesting to watch your videos !

[@OpheliaVert]

Awww, such a lovely video! Thank you so much for giving me so many ideas about how to structure my language learning year. I love the way of going "these chapters take me three days, so I'm giving myself a week". Also, I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT DESIGN. Thank you for yet again a beautiful video about design

[@sharonoddlyenough]

Glad to see you're taking care of yourself, giving yourself flexibility in your plans. I'm still in the honeymoon period with Swedish. In 35 days I worked through the Duolingo skill tree, but only half way fully complete. Next year, my goal is to continue working on it. I want to have conversations with people I met online, understand and reply on Swedish twitter, and understand a Swedish stand up comic.

[@ekaf608]

Absolutely, Lindie. We love to see it if you share some UI/UX designs tips, trends, or anything! Language-learning should not be a chore, or something that stresses us out but rather, a hobby where we find it very comfortable and relaxing to do. (I think I'm gonna go for monthly goals rather than quarterly, for I don't know what 2021 will bring to me.) Thank you!

[@zuzanella]

Your approach to language learning is so inspiring and it also changed my way of thinking about it so that the only thing I can say now is big big THANK YOU for what you're doing here and on Instagram ^^ Also, I wish you all the best in 2021! Much energy, motivation and happiness!

[@annadeptua3225]

Hej Linde, I'm Pole, I cam from Poland nad I' m sheer joy to hear how you work and study language. Today I went to the shop and bought some notebooks. I'll give it a go writing my progress. Maybe it help me to improve my English :) you're awesome :) and you have inspired me to study so much today...

[@flipevent]

Definitely have to take languages at your own pace. I'm still on the private tutor train for Korean 2x a week, since I have an aggressive goal to be intermediate/"street-okay" by summer of next year. But, after that, I'll likely dial that back and generalize more to include Mandarin and Korean across a wider time range. Looking forward to seeing you learn the new languages, especially Tagalog! It'll be my first time watching someone learning my native language from relative scratch. Haha. Sana masaya para sa inyo po na matuto ng Tagalog. :)

[@rachelpark6324]

Totally with you on the more relaxed goals for the new year. I read this book recently 성과를 지배하는 바인더의 힘 and got the 3p바인더 and loving the system of setting goals, weekly, monthly planning etc but also trying to be easy on myself if things don't go to plan. Have fun and enjoy the language journey~ 2021 we're ready for you ^^

[@zoeysabelle6083]

So happy that people are interested in learning our language. ❤️ Kaya mo yan, Lindie! 💕 Rooting for you all the way from the Philippines!

[@daysevenxz]

I will start to learn spanish, thanks for inspiring me and for helping me with my English listening❣️🥰

[@Flauschbally]

Lindie I love your plans for 2021 and taking it easier and more flexible. This is your life, your decisions, your plans. You can do it in your own pace and if you change your mind, then that's ok too. Life has so much to offer and time runs by so fast. We don't have to stick to plans we have made... we are always free to adapt. Sending love and all the best to you and your loved ones. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful rest of the year. ❤️

[@hiruki_neko]

THANK YOU Lindie, I love your plan very very much. And i hope this plan gonna be my plan as well. I started learning Korean in June after watching your videos and they motivated me like ''let's do this ,come on, you can make it'' . Luckily now i can form sentences and understand Korean tv shows a little by little ( Kpop too). I am thankful to you. i started learning Japanese last year. this year Korean , Chinese, French and Russian. Next year I'm gonna add Arabic, German, Spanish and Turkish. and I wish you all the best and ENJOYABAL YEAR.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dafstube]

To be honest, your last year's language plan felt like such an difficult task to maintain that I couldn't really visualize it for me. But this one is amazing, how you're approaching languages as a fun ride is really relatable for me! I suck so much at sticking to a plan but next year I want to take the JLPT N1 so I really need to do even a little bit of planing and this video helped me so much! I love your videos and I hope your Tagalog and Hungarian journey be extremely successful. Love from Brasil 🇧🇷❤️

[@pablamarmolejo]

Gracias Lindie, me has inspirado muchísimo a ser más organizada! Me encanta cómo planificas tu día a día y tienes tus metas súper claras :) Sería muy interesante saber un poco más sobre tu vida como una diseñadora; siendo una traductora que se ha cambiado al UX/UI design, tu experiencia me sería muy enriquecedora. Gracias por la inspiración! Saludos desde Barcelona! :)

[@alex-yc4lt]

I would love to see you talking about design, I would watch it :D

[@ЕкатеринаЧуракова-щ3ь]

Habit stacking sounds like a terrific idea, I'm so glad I watched this video, Lindy, thank you! 🤩 I've been having a hard time making learning Korean a part of my daily life and starting German because of work, but habit stacking is definitely worth a try and actually sounds fun 🌝 Happy holidays! ✌🏻💚 You've been a huge help for me in terms of motivation mostly so thank you ♡ I hope everything goes smoothly in your language learning journey and I'm looking forward to your future videos in the new year!~

[@marissalongo4483]

I would love to see you talk about design and your other projects! I like that you're making quarterly goals and you're focusing on a couple of languages instead of trying to focus on all of the languages at the same time. I'm also planning out my goals three months at a time. I started doing that this year and it works so much nicer. I think I'm going to try to pick one or two focus language(s) each quarter too. That seems like a good idea. I love the idea of habit stacking too. I'm gonna have to see if I can implement that myself lol. Best of luck with Hungarian and Tagalog!

[@СаналЧимидов]

Thank you, Lindie, for helping with the languages for a long time. Good luck in coming year

[@gabirose6342]

i’m struggling just with Korean, major props to you
