Goals and Progress Need Each Other

|On Learning2 Comments

When you don’t see progress your goals become an albatross.

When you don’t have goals, your progress is meaningless.

How do you set goals when studying Chinese? How do you determine your progress?

    I think it is important to have different kind of goals. Small and big. For example my big goal is to finish my BA in Chinese lanaguage after 4 years and be fluent then too. But my smaller goal is to pass HSK 3 level this November.

    You should also from time to time think about the reason why you study Chinese. Remember how excited you used to feel when starting with the language. Try to keep that feeling.

    Sounds like you have two big goals!

    I’m curious what you define as fluent? I always struggle to decide what should be considered fluent in a language.
