My major goal for 2016

Learning English is one of my major goals for 2016, but what do I mean exactly by "learning"? I spent a lot of time trying to answer that question because "learning" can mean different things. It can mean to learn the basics of the langage, or to learn how to communicate a little as a tourist, etc.

In my case, learning means to master the langage at 4 levels:
1. Writing: The most important. I want to be able to write correct and clean English by the end of the year. I would stadte as clear and concise writing.

2. Speaking: I want to improve my communication skills as well as my prunonciation of English. In other terms, I want to be comprehensible for English speakers. I would state this as I want to improve on my pronounciation and fuency.

3. Hearing: I actually find it hard to understand English especially the one spoken in news and movies. So I want to resolve this by 2017. I would  say I would like to improve on my audio listening. 

4. Reading: Which I'm already good at but I still have to do more efforts in this area. Simply put as " I would like to continue improving on my read abiity." 

So these are the goals I want to reach this year. I know it is not an easy task but I'm really motivated about it and ready to dedicate time and energy for it.

NOTES: I just want to covey that I understood your explanations burt highlight is maybe a sightly more concise way or different way to state the same. I hope you achieve your goal.

Hello Chadi,

Your writing skills seem to be quite good, obviously and effect of having good reading skills, you have learned without realising it.

We talk about listening skills, at the moment you are hearing English but not understanding it - that is the difference, the last one is a collocation you 'make an effort'

All the best for 2016
