I know resolutions can be a little silly and get dropped quickly. But setting goals is good practice, and any excuse for self-reflection is a valid one.

So yeah, what goals do you have in mind? Bonus points if you can be specific, realisitic, and/or measurable.

Do you plan to start a new language this year? Hit new milestones with ones you're already learning?

Thanks! It feels a little lopsided going for Kanji first, but to me it always felt like such a stumbling block reading or doing grammar when I have to stop and check the characters often. I figure, gotta learn 'em eventually anyway.

Good luck with your studies! Definitely understand the desire to aim a little lower. For me the test is just a personal benchmark, it doesn't open any doors. I'd hate to very publicly go off to take it, stress hard studying, and then not come close to passing. Aiming a level down, there's more confidence.
