The 2nd post was a great idea. tl;dr and comment as well.
Mandarin Chinese
- Get into reading with mostly good comprehension
- Get into listening with fair comprehension
- Maybe get into speaking and chatting
- Finish vocabularies up to HSK Level 6
- My study log in WaniKani is more Chinese-focused
Japanese
- 10 manga series / 100 manga volumes
- 3 light novels series
- Get into web novels (I might not need as long as a year)
- Get into manga magazines and weekly updates
- Get practical and reliable at listening to news
- Practical at able to listen to audiobook without needing text volume
I have 2024 goals in WaniKani. I should wait for the end of the year to summary (prob some day in Jan 2025). So far,
- 76 books according to Bookmeter, most of which are manga. Some are audiobooks, including 本好きの下剋上 up to Vol.6
- Didn’t read a Dictionary of Advanced Japanese Grammar yet. WaniKani has a club starting Jan 2025.
- I didn’t try to complete Joyo list. Reading and learning vocabularies only.
- Japanese listening is unreliable. Some not bad, some bad.
- No Japanese friends
- Mandarin Chinese was started latter half of the year. Now can read, on a shaky ground, and a lot of lookup.
