"...Ein Geheimnis, das das Schicksal
der Menschheit entscheidet."
from Sergei Lukyanenko "Spektrum"

German learning: My main focus

"...We can win if we stay focused."

From the RPG Final Fantasy XIII  

I begin to say about the German. I live in Germany and have a work.
The work language is German. I'm sure of my speak activity.
My impoving goal in German is the perfective of my audition ability.
For that I will listen audio podcasts, broadcasting, or watch any video clips or films.
Possibly I can read also any interesting books or internet articles.

Generally, my speaking activities are performed at the work successfully.
I don't calculate these activities here.

My Rules "Learn It Or Die", allowed Mediums and Point Values

"When I started counting my blessings, 

my whole life turned around."

from Nelson, Willie; Pipkin, Turk (2006). 

The Tao of Willie: A Guide to the Happiness in Your Heart

I will use a specific algorythm where can calculate my progress.

I may use various types of media. I took the basis values from the Tadoku reading challenge strategy.
Each medium and learning method has different points (points = Tadoku pages) per page value associated with it. The following list shows the viable mediums with its twitter tags, small description and equal point values (abbr.: ppp - points per page, ppl - points per lyrics, ppm - points per minute).

#readbook : reading of a book: 1 ppp
#readarticle : reading of an article or the news in internet, magazines or newspapers: 1 ppp (for ca. 1500 symbols)
#writeessay : writing of the text, essay, letter etc.: 1 ppp (for ca. 400 symbols)
#listenreadlyric : listen a song and reading of the lyric: 1 ppl (point per lyrics for whole song)
#talkspeaker : talking with native speaker with language exchange: 0,3 ppm (points per minute)
#listenaudio : listening of audiobooks, podcasts, broadcasts: 0,2 ppm
#watchvideo : watching a tv program, video or film: 0,1 ppm
#learnanki : training of the words and phrases with anki srs: 0,05 ppm
#learntextbook : learning a language with the textbook (all tasks): 0,05 ppm

The sum of these points shows my complete progress by the learning.

My goal is: to reach 600 points! 

The language tags:
#de - German
#dk - Danish
#en - English
#it - Italian
#pl - Polish

Also, forward to the exciting contest and to the arriving goal!

My Goals 2013

"... So that is our mission. There is nothing, literally nothing, 

more important than completing our mission. End of story!"

dialogue from the film "Sunshine"

My current Mission: 
- Certainly to get on the tetraglot club!

How do I learn the foreign languages: My current levels:
- Russian: Native language
- Belarussian: Secondary native language
- German: Advanced fluency
- Polish: Upper-intermediate
- English: Pre-intermediate
- Danish: Starter
- Italian: Starter

There are my main goals for 2013:

1) to keep my level in German and Polish
2) to impove my English
3) to begin to learn of Danish and Italian

This summer (by learning of the Polish) I was confronted with the difficulties where ​​I started to lose the current levels by other languages. I came to the conclusion that it's necessary to promote several languages ​​at the same time.

I took as a basis the challenge strategies Takedo and 6WC.
I adjusted the Takedo calculation method of Takedo to meet my requirements, It can quantify the progress level and degree of goal achievement. Now I will consider generally three languages (German, Polish, English) and try to begin with Danish and Italian.

Introduce myself...

As many languages as you know, 

so many separate individuals you are worth.
