| Gabriella: Listeners, what’s your new year’s resolution? |
| Peter: And how will you make sure you succeed? |
| Gabriella: A lot of people fall short... don’t they? |
| Peter: They do. Even I almost failed my old resolution of learning Chinese. |
| Gabriella: So what happened? Did you achieve it? |
| Peter: Gabriella, I smashed through my resolution. I visited China in Oct. 2013, and broke through every one of my goals. Do you know how I did it? |
| Gabriella: Listeners, listen up because this is a GREAT lesson. |
| Peter: A few simple changes to my goal made a massive difference. |
| Gabriella: Like what? |
| Peter: I started aiming for smaller, more measurable goals. For instance, I changed my New Year’s resolution from “Master Chinese” to “Speak 10 Minutes of Chinese per study session with my tutor” |
| Gabriella: Clever! Sounds more manageable doesn’t it? Afterall, you can’t expect to magically become fluent. You put a number on it. |
| Peter: No magic here, Gabriella. Once I made that small change, I hit my goal in 3 months and extended 10 minutes to 15 then 20...and now I’m up to 30 minute conversations. I’m blown away at how easy it was once I changed my mindset. |
| Gabriella: So which other tips for fast and effective language learning can you pass onto our learners out there for 2014, Peter? |
| Peter: Write down your new measurable goal and place it somewhere where you’ll see it everyday. It sounds a little strange, but it keeps you focused on your goal. |
| Gabriella: And that doesn’t just apply to language learning, but any goal you’re trying to achieve in life! |
| Peter: It really works Gabriella. So, listeners, take these tips and apply them right now.. |
| Gabriella: And once you do that, we challenge you to master a language in 2014. |

HideWhat’s your Chinese Resolution for the New Year?
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for posting.
We're glad to hear that after studying Japanese, you became interested in trying Chinese as well.
Let us know if you have any question.
Cheers,
Lena

I'm adding Chinese to my Japanese studies. In doing this, I've been speeding through all the Sunday News lessons. I've noticed that Peter had shared the same goal-setting advice this year (2014) as he did in 2013; but went from 30 minutes of Chinese conversation to 60 minutes by the end of 2013. Congratulations Peter, and I hope you have gone much further as I am writing this in 2018.
