Self-Development Challenge 2

For my Self-Development Challenge 2 I will:  

 2.3.6  Attend and satisfactorily complete a course of at least three months duration in an adult learning environment. This may include (for example) languages, psychology, economics, information technology, making jewellery or science. This course must be in addition to any university or TAFE studies that you are already completing.

I will take a German language course to C2 level, classified at the Goethe Institute as “Autonomous Language Ability”. Additionally, I will record a 10 minute conversation with a German friend in German to prove fluency.

​​

This is a challenge for me because:  

While I have a basic understanding of German grammar, I would like to push myself further so that I feel confident using it. Fluency requires a lot of vocabulary, colloquialisms and a general familiarity with the language structure. These will require sustained commitment to learn and solidify.    

 In completing this challenge, I hope to (achieve, learn, develop, etc):  

Learn a new skill.

Develop my ability to persist at learning something over a long period of time.

  The timeline for this challenge will be:  

• B1 by end of 2017

• B2 by end of 2018

• C1 by end of 2019

• C2 by end of 2020
