Setting language goals
I think it is important to set goals when learning a language. Small yet significant goals that can be achieved, so you can stay motivated. With German, which I’ve just started, I have decided to join a language challenge starting in September which means I’ll be aiming for a video at the start and then at the end of each month for 3 months, each one longer than the previous. This is somewhat scary but super exciting. 

Do you set any goals to help stay motivated? If so, what are they?

I’m putting this under German but it is relevant to any language you might be learning.

I’m such a chaotic person. In theory I know how to set goals and in theory I know that we should set SMART goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. But then I just study what I feel like in that very moment...

Aprender alemán es complicado, yo lo intenté, aprendí pero igual es muy difícil. Tendrías que hablar con muchos nativos y estar exageradamente motivada. 👌

I usually write down my goals and I post them on the wall as a reminder. It is important to have goals not just in learning a language but in life. It helps a lot to put a time frame as well so that you don't procrastinate and work towards it.

Creo que el alemán es difícil pero vale la pena el esfuerzo.

Edit: Just to write it in English too: I think German is difficult but worth the effort.

You're right having goals in life can be really important too. I think if I don't have something pushing me to do something I procrastinate a lot.
