My goals in descending scales are:

[I have read and loved both the English and Chinese translations of the novel, so it would be a great pleasure to be able to read in its original language.]
- Current Goal:- I want to complete "Integrated Korean" Beginning 1 and 2
- Specific Goal:- I want to complete one lesson from the text book and five lessons from TTMIK every three weeks
