Next year this school starts teaching one language properly, week by week. Not five languages at once, and not just noticing.
Here are three things you might be able to do by this time next year:
Which of those sounds exciting? Keep that thought. Later you will write your own target, after you have listened and looked at the map.
Before you set a target for next year, measure what your ear can already do. You will hear three clips. They are harder than the ones you met early on.
Listen, choose the language, then show with your thumb: easy now, okay, or still hard.
Watch the map of Europe on the board. When your teacher opens a country, say the language you see out loud.
Think quietly: which one would you most like to start next year, and where could it take you?
Open your copy. Write one target for next year and, beside it, how you would know you had reached it.
Use these frames if they help:
Or pick one of these cards and make it yours:
A target of "I will be better" does not count. Make it something you could prove without a test paper.
Some languages live in families, on holidays, in cartoons or songs, and school may never teach them. That does not make them less real.
