My 2025 learning journey, and 2026 goal

I began this year at an estimated A2 level in French, and have worked my tail off. - I didn’t miss a single day on Duo. - I took a university-level conversational French course. - I took a trip to Québec. - I have read a bunch of books and comics. I started with young adult fiction, but I’ve now read books like this: https://www.leslibraires.ca/livres/de-remarquables-oublies-t-3-ils-serge-bouchard-9782895963424.html - My phone is set to French. «Dis Siri ! » - I read most of my news on Apple News in French. - I’ve hired a weekly conversational tutor. - I use French in emails to French colleagues. - I listen to Radio Canada for about an hour a day on my commute. - I watch some French TV shows and documentaries. - I’m now coming to the end of B1 level in Duo, for whatever that’s worth. My goals for 2026 are to complete Duo B2, continue with my tutor, be more confident in speaking with French colleagues, and come to the end of the year feeling almost fluent in terms of daily life. Perhaps I can find another level-relevant university course as well to practice with others in a group setting. Our family hopes to take a trip to Europe in 2027, including about 10 days in Paris and Marseilles. If I can keep up my progress in 2026, and maybe also get to Québec once or twice in the meantime, I feel like I’ll be very ready for that. submitted by /u/ipini [link] [comments]
