New Year, new purposes! ... or not so new? Surely
you have already started preparing your list of purposes and you know that
mastering English is a recurring point on that list, but how are you going to
achieve this in practice this 2018? How are you going to make sure that your
goal with English is not lost along the way along with your fitness routine?
You need a plan
PLANT IT
"I'll be fluent in English this year" sounds
great, and it sure motivates you the simple fact of thinking about it, but does
not it seem a bit vague and unreal? The end of 2018 is too far away and, if you
do not make intermediate milestones throughout the year, easily events of your
daily life will stand in your way and your purpose with English will remain a
dream. How far do you want to go before the summer? And in 3 months? And at the
end of the first week?
If you stay at that rate of progress, even a total
beginner could reach an advanced level by the end of the year. Set measurable
and achievable goals for each quarter and mark them in an annual calendar,
which you should have in a place that is always visible.
