I'd like to ban "processed foods" from my diet but I don't have a good definition of "processed" allowing me to rule out the sort of "food" you find in a US gas station (long trips; bad planning; desperate measures!) while still letting me to eat, say, Wensleydale. Ideas, anyone?
I would also like to improve my French, German and Polish. My best idea was to aim for a certain vocabulary size (which I could measure with Anki). I thought a target of 2500 French words, 1000 German words and 500 Polish words would be a reasonable target. Any better ideas?
Wildcard suggestions are good, too! Last year someone suggested meditation, which I hated and was one of my failures. But I liked the suggestion, and I'm willing to try most things, though they do have to fit in with my itinerant lifestyle. Looking forward to the suggestions.
How about killing two birds with one stone by staying 120 days in Poland? ;)
That is actually the plan!
How are you planning on learning languages? Local classes or online/app?
I'm planning on using Anki. It's been working well so far, and it's really good at adapting to my rate of learning. The UI is a bit "raw", but I quite like that about it... By the way, I always think of you when I'm learning the days of the week in Polish! ;)
Rather than learning words, which is really just a means to an end, why not set goals for the end. Spend X hours having conversations in the language. The hardest thing I found about learning German was forcing myself to speak it in situations where I could revert to English.
I sort of have these goals (vaguely) anyway, but I think I need the immediate, monotonically incremental feedback on my progress. Last year I said I'd give my first talk in French. I did, and although it was terrible (linguistically), it was a useful target.
