My Language Learning Goals for 2021 

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.

Our main goal - stay alive.

My goals 2021: Spanish B2 French B1 Italian A2 Start Persian ✊

Best of luck everyone with their language goals! I’m hoping to learn Arabic this year :)

My goals: Italian B2 Greek B1 Keep French at C1.

Can't wait for LingQ 5.0 and Thai 😍

Markmið mitt er að halda áfram að læra íslensku. Bless!

My goals: *French: B1 *Mandarin: HSK2 *Korean: I just started so any improvement will work lol

02:35 "There are some functions that we want it to have that aren't there yet." One very common problem with many software projects is that developers continue to add new functionality and that makes impossible to stabilize the existing code for release. As long as new functionality is added, there will be some unforeseen obstacles and problems, and that leads to more delays, which leads to the desire to add something new in meanwhile, and that cycle never ends. So it is important for any software to have a deadline for all new functionality, after which you have only testing and bug fixing. 02:48 "We have increased the resources that we're putting at the project." When you add resources to a project, keep in mind Brooks's law: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks%27s_law

Feliz año nuevo! Inspirador, también tengo metas . Es importante plantear metas realistas y disfrutar del aprendizaje 😁

Your videos led me to experiment with using typing other languages as a way to accelerate learning. Finger memory is powerful. I see you are a very admirable pioneer. I have attempted multi lingual for 20 years as a hobby. Cheers. Keith

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! :)

Happy new year 2021 I'm looking forward to your video you tube!! And please take care of yourself too!

I wish my grandpa was like you, it would be awesome to have a grandpa interested in languages as you do. Wish you a happy new year.

my goals for 2021:read a novel every month, listen an hour a day , read the texts of the listening stuff.I hope to do more if I have the time.I don't know where I will be at the end of 2021 but I hope to get to b2.I'm learning japanese.Thanks steve and I can't wait for the next version of lingq

These are great goals! Thanks for sharing. My goal is to continue learning French in 2021.

I’m using LingQ to learn Italian. I think it’s great right now. So convenient. I can’t imagine it getting better.

Hi Steve! I ve been always enjoying your videos! wish you a brilliant and extremely productive year!

Happy new year, Steve! Feliz ano Novo!

Çok güzel, umarım bu yıl sizin için verimli bir yıl olur:)

Benefited a lot. As a translator, Chinese and Japanese will be my learning goals this year. Let us work together. mutual encouragement! Happy new year! 新年快乐！

Glad u are pursuing newer line. A tool is needed for sure. My 2021 is to learn the latest line

Happily waiting to hear Turkish from you.I will be observing you end of the year.😄🙏🏻I believe in you.Go Mr.Steve Go!!🍀

موفق باشی در سال جدید استیوِ عزیز.

First comment, thank you Steve for the inspirational content! I fully recommend LingQ!

Hi Steve. very pleasure to see you again. actually I'm writing a book about learning languages, I hope I will do it successfully and soon, and I'm putting in it many of your methods and advices. and of course I'll mention where I did get them from. thank you Steve, happy to watch your videos

Very inspiring, Steve！ I also wish to make more progress in French learning in 2021as you will in Persian and Arabic

Really good to hear from you all that

I like it. Always something new to look forward to.

Happy New Year, Steve.

wish you all the best En iyi dileklerimle. اتمنى ان تحقق كل اهدافك

Harika! Happy to hear that you might go back to Turkish.

Great idea. LingQ moblile is already pretty good but it still can improve. Anxious for the news about! Hi from🇧🇷

I've been using LingQ for half a year and can already see a huge improvement in my Italian. Out of all the apps and services I've used, it takes the cake. I'll be continuing to use it throughout 2021 with my goal to reach B2 or C1. Keep up the great work Steve and team!

Hi Steve. Thanks for the video and the LingQ tool. Unbelievably after 2 years of consistent work of about 1/2 hour a day on French I am still at the beginning with hearing and understanding spoken French. Reading French is coming along were I would expect I should be. But my hearing the language really is quite poor. So my goal is to perhaps take my learning up to an hour a day. I am going to try this slowly because I don't want to get frustrated and then lose interest. Thanks for getting me interested in learning a foreign language.

اتمنى لك التوفيق في رحلتك لتعلم اللغة العربية والفارسية❤️ I wish you luck in your journey of learning Arabic and persian ❤️

cant wait for more persian lessons on lingQ!

Thank you Sir 👌

Salut Steve, merci beaucoup pour vos videos! Je m'appelle Lexi et je parle cantonais, chinois, anglais, indonesien et italien. Maintenant, j'apprends français depuis 2 mois. Mon plan cette année est de pouvoir communiquer en français 😍

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 😊😊👋👋👋

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 !

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

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😂

Really looking forward to Thai and Vietnamese

My goals for 2021: C1 or C2 in English haha

I just can't wait for the LingQ 5.0!!!!

I'm so happy you're learning Persian

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.)

Steve Kaufmann is a beast and a madman.

The Gift, The Protector and Bir Başkadır are fantaatic when you move back to Turkish in the summer. 😊

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!

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.

I can't wait for the new LingQ to be up.

Your goals are inspirational for me. I am learning merely French and Russian.

Any tips to start the year off right when learning a language? Also happy new year everyone.

Turkish, Persian and Arabic. Good language triplet

شيء جميل أن نجد مثلك يدرس العربية بالتوفيق

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.

Maintain HSK 5 保持汉语水平考试 5及 Mandarin Chinese 普通话 中文

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😆)

My goals: Learn Polish and Turkish. Goal for everyone: try to learn Hungarian😀

My language goals: I hope to reach B1 by years end (will go to Japan to study in september) German B2 (currently B1) Keep Spanish at B1.

I really look up to this guy! He's such a legend!

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!

I am a huge fan of LingQ 🙏🏻

Hello, I come from Poland and I have been learning English for 2 years. Regards Rafał

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 :)

My goal is to improve my English speaking and work all year on Chinese

Вы молодец Стив!

you are the best

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 !

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 :).

Portuguese - A2 Esperanto - A2 Español - B2 English - B2 (on advanced) Français and Zhōngwén - C2

My goals are getting Chinese HSK 4, keeping Italian at B1 and getting Norwegian to a lower A2. And reading at least one book in English per month

My goals 2021: English C1 German B2 Start learning a third language

My goals for 2021: C2 in French B1-2 in Japanese

J'envie cette année d'améliorer mon niveau en français c1 et également mon niveau en anglais B2

Вы молодец!

Really wish they would release Lingq 5.0

5.00!!!!!!!!!!! yeah

حظا موفقا في تعلم اللغة العربية

Will there be a Lingq 5.0 beta version(s) for premium users to try out if official version's release time is delayed further, let's say to the end of this year or beginning of 2022? It would be nice to check how it will roughly play out even if it has not all the functionalities of the finished version or has some bugs in it.

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

Steve, how long did it take for you to read easily and by easily do you mean smoothly and fluently? Just asking because I've been studying Arabic for two years and have been trying to make my reading more fluent and easy too. Thanks!

Some of these videos are just thinly veiled ads for linq

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.

English: C2 (done) Mandarin: C2 (done) French C1 (currently at B2) Spanish B1 (currently A1)

My 2021 lang goals are the JLPTN1 and to advance from basic Mandarin and Russian to intermediate

To the person reading this I hope you reach your language goals and work smart💪🏾

As a persian girl I'd love to know how will you start learning persian. I hope you share your journey learning my language. موفق باشی

my goal in 2021 English

Hey Steve, since you've become so well known for your proficiency in so many diverse languages, i was curious if you ever thought/have tried learning ASL? Granted its not a verbal language per se but im sure you would easily pick it up.

Hello, my goal in 2021 is to improve my English, Italian Espanhol, and my Korean, start France and Japanese. I can do it...

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)

In this year I will start learning chinese and russian

I can help with recording sentences in Hebrew and English!

My goals English C1(It seems to be difficult lol) German B1

Sometimes i stay in Gran Canaria. Do you have a course in Spanish?

Omg, are you planning to learn Turkish? I'll be really happy to help :'))

我 2021 年的目标：把我的中文更上一层楼！
