I have three goals. Fully achieving any is unrealistic, but progress in any is already good enough. They are:

  1. Learn something that helps with old Indo-European languages, like Sanskrit.
  2. Improve proficiency in languages that I have weak knowledge of, like French.
  3. Get off my comfort zone and learn something non-IE, like Guarani.

Currently I'm working on #2 with German; I can form simple sentences in the language but I rely too much on dictionaries and declension/conjugation tables.
