My language new year goal
I was talking to a friend about one of my new year goals: learn French [well, reach A1 or A2 level]
He told me that it would be "a full time job" because I don't know nothing about that language and I should start by memorizing a lot of grammar rules and vocabulary, but I'm not sure.
I mean, would you like to learn tons of grammar rules and verb lists? No? Me neither. That's boring.
I think the best way to learn a language is by using it in real conversations with some explanations where necesary.
Because of that I'll learn some vocabulary and phrases on Duolingo and Memrise and then I'll look forlanguage exchanges and a French tutor to have the opportunity to use the language.
We'll see in a couple of moths how it works.

My language new year goal My Language-Learning Goal for the New Year (<< this wording sounds more natural)
I was talking to a friend about one of my new year's goals (the possessive form can get a bit messy in English; probably the best way to write this phrase would be "one of my goals for the new year."): learn French [well, reach A1 or A2 level]He told me that it would be "a full-time job" because I don't know nothing anything (in Spanish, more than one negation in a phrase adds emphasis; however, in English, negations function like in math and cancel each other out; as young children, many English speakers play a game where we say phrases like "I don't not not not not not know" while the other children have to keep track of the number of negations in this sentence; in my example, I said six no's--an even number--so these no's cancel each other out and make a positive which means I do know; in fact, there is a joke based on this game in one of the Shrek movies where Pinocchio is trying not to lie) about that language and I should start by memorizing a lot of grammar rules and vocabulary, but I'm not sure.

I think the best way to learn a language is by using it in real conversations with some explanations where necessary (spelling).
Because of that I'll learn some vocabulary and phrases on Duolingo and Memrise and then I'll look for language exchanges opportunities/partners (<< the phrase "language exchange" is not countable; add a countable noun here to make the phrase countable, as in "language exchange opportunities," "language exchange partners," "language exchange events," etc.) and a French tutor to have the opportunity to use the language.
We'll see in a couple of months (spelling) how it works.
