It's really nice to set goals for the year and keep'em in your head. Most times around June I've forgotten about it and that's sort of demotivating. So I hope this is a better year for all of us and in the end of the year we feel like we've accomplished all that we wanted or, at least, that we feel like we have done our best. I wish you all a great year for language learning! Thanks for the nice video Mr. Kaufman! :)

Thank you so much Steve for your motivation videos I’m a big fan of you and your website lingq. I would like to see you speaking Turkish. Greetings from Azerbaijan 😊😊👋👋👋
Great video. I love LingQ. I used it learn Portuguese, now German. I really like how he just focuses on improving three languages. There are so many silly videos were somebody is bragging that they are going to learn 12 languages or more in a year😂
Good luck with your goals and Arabic Steve! I am curious to revisit LingQ when the new version is out, I used it a lot for Spanish but found the parsing to be not that good for Mandarin. My main goals this year in Mandarin is to keep reading a lot every morning, if I could read 19 books this year that would be amazing, but not sure how realistically that is now I am reading bigger/longer books. I also want to practice writing a short story/book in Mandarin for creative writing, it's quite a fun idea because now when I read I am paying attention more to short phrases or structures that I could use in the writing part.
Parsing is an issue in Asian languages unfortunately, it's very tough to get 100% accurate. 5.0 will let users edit sentences with ease to help mitigate the issue (and parsing in general should be improved). Good luck Luke.
I’m still working away on French and Arabic and enjoying both. If, by the end of the year, I could get to a level in Arabic where I could read Harry Potter, I’d be delighted. I’d love to find some of that advanced beginner-intermediated content in the TPRS style for Cree or other Indigenous languages but I’m not have much success there.
My goals are to: refresh my English a little, mejorar mi español, понимать и говорить по-русский хорошо et je veux bien parler et comprendre le francais, und probieren mit Deutsch noch einmol. (I probably made mistakes, especially with the German ^^;) Best of luck to you all! :D
"My goals are ... und es nocheinmal mit Deutsch zu probieren." Very tricky sentence structure, especially when switching between languages, so don't worry. May I ask how you learned Russian? I am trying to learn the alphabet, but it's so difficult!
@@jeanneg6004 Danke! I suggest you watch th-cam.com/video/AYRZupz6rdw/w-d-xo.html (12:50) (Her entire series so far is great :)) At first it seems difficult, but don't give up! Write them down somewhere, maybe do 5-10 at a time (х ж ш щ ч ц can be confusing, but it won't take you long to get the hang of it.) Viël Glück! :D Me personally: I had learnt most of the alphabet by comparing words with their English/my native lang equivelents, when I assumed they were the same. (i.e if "Анна"-> if a stays a, then н sounds like n. Noted.) whenever I encountered Russian text online or maybe even on the street. (That way I got the basics of Russian whilst learning Spanish :p) Other than that, I believe I also tried to write stuff down using the Russian alphabet. (ду ю лаик догс? / writing my classmates names when they heard I can write in Russian xD)
Two weeks late (oops) but... here are my language goals for 2021: Chinese (Cantonese) C2 Thai B2 Spanish A2 + improvements on SAT English (Super excited for Thai!! Can’t wait to practice Thai on Lingq😆)
Thanks for sharing your goals - as a relatively new user in LingQ I look forward to any usability improvements ( not sure these are part of the 2021 plans?) because as a platform for someone moving into and beyond intermediate it really hits the right notes !
What I would like to see in Lingq (which beyond my control too) is a monthly update by a senior developer or other technical guy, who can explain some of the short term goals, the things the team is struggling with and the prospect of new functionality. I also wonder if it is at all possible to have improvements applied in smaller increments. One the problems I encounter on a daily basis is my reluctance to translate a sentence in sentence mode, because it gets added in an unchangeable way to the sentence number, so that when I alter the text (split a sentence into two sentences), the translation is coupled with the wrong sentence **and I can no longer change this translation, even if it is wrong**. Of course a monthly update would help me as a user to understand what is coming, and when it is coming. I seem to remember seeing talk of lingq 5.0 as early as begin 2020. In sept/okt I asked about it and a developer said they were aiming for november. Having a monthly update would at least help understanding where the team is at and what they are struggling with. That and smaller increments is my wish for the year with regards to Lingq!
A.J., check the LingQ forums. There's usually an update on LingQ once a month. Here's one about LingQ 5.0 www.lingq.com/en/community/forum/updates-tips-and-known-issues/lingq-development-update
i tried linq with persian and wasnt very satisfied, but after hearing that you are learning persian too maybe ill check linq again and see if it's different :)
I hope to be able for next year to be at 2300ish lingq (now at 900ish). I hope to understand more mandarin Chinese orally. Let's do our best this year!
Steve, could you make a video about your opinion on ALG (automatic language growth), especially AUA Thai school. I know that you once commented on that. I'm especially interested in your opinion if active study can really minimize your full potential when using ALG. Because the school or the approach recommends not using any form of active study (looking up words, learning grammar etc.)
Believe me it’s easy. I know Japanese, Russian, Italian and German. It’s not hard to read, may be only ‘ğ,ş,i,ç,ö,ü’ hard to spell for the first time.Yes, I’m Turkish.
Well done on starting with Finnish ! If there’s anything I can do to help with Finnish intermediate level, I have been collecting a lot of it. It was very difficult for me to get it, and would love to help the next learners !
My goal for 2021- all about finnish: spring: switch to finnish as my main writing and speaking language. By summer, go from 5000 words to 15000 words. Fall, focus on B2 and C1 language tests.
@@Re3iRtH Yep! I've been studying French for 10 years, so I hope I'll be close by the end of this year hahah. It's definitely tough though! You're right
In the end it's your call, but some say the JLPT is not worth the time or money. It doesn't test speaking ability and handwriting Japanese is not very useful unless it's for either studying or work in which case there are lots of other places to go than a country with a competitive marketplace and stressful school/work environments. Marketable skills and experience are more valuable than meritless certificates that are merely bragging rights on paper. What good is language certification if the test doesn't have a speaking section nor vocabulary related to your program or job? You still need to learn the language anyway to some extent, which defeat the purpose of a test
@@michaelrespicio5683 Yeah, I guess the Japanese government failed to make it the perfect exam. However, since I’m studying the language anyway and plan on spending a significant amount of time in the country, I figured I would knock it out. There will be plenty of other tests I will take after the JLPT that will test my speaking and handwriting etc (after entering a grad program in Japan). I consider the JLPT my first step up the Japan staircase, not the last one. I will continue working at a US company, but since my job switched to being permanently remote we have the chance to live abroad, so I'm not worried about karoshi, haha
How much Indonesian and Finnish did you learn? Chances are the Finnish you saw is not actually how natives speak in real life, so here's a quick lesson to spoken language. Perkele, mä oon persestä. Syön paskaa koska en puhu suomea. That means "hello, I'm a polyglot. Nice to meet you, and I'm learning Finnish"
yeah you are right. your next step would be Hindi. If you know arabic and persian, Hindi will be easy. And it has more than 1 billion speakers. It is a language that you cant skip over.
Many people know English and Spanish but never try Tagalog. There are lots of communities around the world, in fact: 25% of nurses worldwide are actually Filipinos, and South Korea with its modern culture would likely not exist today as we know it if not for my countrymen who died so they could prosper. Unlike other cultures, Filipinos will be friends for life if given the chance and will treat anybody as family. If you know English, Spanish, Indonesian, or any combination of these, there's no excuse to skip over it.
Hi Steve. Just curious what Turkish TV shows your wife watches. I'm a huge fan of Ethos, Personality and Magnificent Century, but I'm always looking for new suggestions :).
Hello sir, I have a question regarding the 60 mini stories...When you actually finish them and you understand everything in each one of them, in which level realistically speaking a learner is at? (German for instance that's the one im currently learning)
If you can understand them perfectly, I'd say you'd be conversational. However, to understand them perfectly (and similar material) in another language, will still take time.
My goal in 2021 is to put 500 hours into my target language (comprised of 80% exposure, and 20% grammar). Let the results fall where they may.
Great goal.
Try focusing on vocab more. You can speak with just vocab but you can't with just grammar. As you immerse grammar will come naturally
How are you doing so far?
@@MrSpruce been tough. Im very busy at work and I try to exercise regularly. Work is always the biggest barrier for me. My motivation remains high though.
Best of luck everyone with their language goals! I’m hoping to learn Arabic this year :)

My goal is to get solid at Vietnamese tones and read text without much effort (even if I don't understand what I'm saying)
I also want to improve my reading skills in chinese, so I can consume more content and read more books in Chinese this year.
But your Chinese is already sooooooooo good!!!!!!!!
@@micah385 Thanks a lot. I can speak pretty fluently now, but I cannot read as much as I can read. I need to get better at that haha.
Some of these videos are just thinly veiled ads for linq
Вы молодец!
حظا موفقا في تعلم اللغة العربية
我 2021 年的目标：把我的中文更上一层楼！
How much Indonesian and Finnish did you learn? Chances are the Finnish you saw is not actually how natives speak in real life, so here's a quick lesson to spoken language.
Perkele, mä oon persestä. Syön paskaa koska en puhu suomea. That means "hello, I'm a polyglot. Nice to meet you, and I'm learning Finnish"
开始学德语，英语，法语和西班牙语保持，希望下半年可以开始学日语
My goal is to clean my university year and to master German, and I really really want to master German, holy smokes...
Would you ever try learning Finnish? :) so fun 😩
yeah you are right. your next step would be Hindi. If you know arabic and persian, Hindi will be easy. And it has more than 1 billion speakers. It is a language that you cant skip over.
Many people know English and Spanish but never try Tagalog. There are lots of communities around the world, in fact: 25% of nurses worldwide are actually Filipinos, and South Korea with its modern culture would likely not exist today as we know it if not for my countrymen who died so they could prosper. Unlike other cultures, Filipinos will be friends for life if given the chance and will treat anybody as family. If you know English, Spanish, Indonesian, or any combination of these, there's no excuse to skip over it.
My goal: continue with Scottish Gaelic
Hi Steve. Just curious what Turkish TV shows your wife watches. I'm a huge fan of Ethos, Personality and Magnificent Century, but I'm always looking for new suggestions :).
Hello sir, I have a question regarding the 60 mini stories...When you actually finish them and you understand everything in each one of them, in which level realistically speaking a learner is at? (German for instance that's the one im currently learning)
I'm not sure but make sure your constantly reviewing the mini stories
If you can understand them perfectly, I'd say you'd be conversational. However, to understand them perfectly (and similar material) in another language, will still take time.
