Hey all,

What are your goals for 2014??!?

To enjoy using Chinese every day, no matter of brief the time or how crazy life gets. (Studying doesn't count as "using" here...)

I was inspired by Nick's project, so I'd like to get to 4000 words on Skritter. I think this should take me several months.

For each word, I'd like to learn a sentence using it in context (I'll study the sentences in Anki). This will probably take longer based on my experience studying sentences in the past.

I am committed to being more consistent with studying. This year I will pass a few HSK exams. Another goal is to plow through the Chinese version of management discussion and analysis for Chineae companies that pop up in my stock filter criteria. It's all about fun and applying Chinese this year.

Skritter at least 30' /day (aim for 45')
Read at least 3 novels without the help of a dictionary.
Complete the boya series and reach advanced in the road to success series.
Listen to and study at least 3 chinespod advanced/upper intermediate lessons p/week (starting on february)

- Skritter every day (already failing miserably on this, but will start today :)
- Finish Remembering the Simplified Hanzi 2 Book
- Finish Integrated Chinese Level 2 Textbooks
- Learn HSK4 Vocabulary and write the HSK4
- Read through all the available Mandarin Companion and Chinese Breeze books
- Start learning traditional characters with Heisig Remembering the Traditional Hanzi 1 and 2, and the Practical Audio-Visual Chinese textbooks.
