Assess yourself

- Why am I learning Spanish? Is it a need? Is it for pleasure?
- How am I going to use my Spanish? Will I speak it? Where? With whom? Will I write? Do I just need to read it?
- What is an realistic, achievable goal?
- How much time do I have (or want) to spend on learning Spanish? Do I have enough time? Is distance learning or online learning an option?
- What kind of a learner am I? How do I learn better? Can I efficiently learn on my own or with little guidance? Do I need structured lessons, with a tutor telling me what to do?
- Am I able to discover and design my learning path? Do I need to trust that to someone else? Can I negotiate it with my tutor?
- How do I work better in class? Do I take the initiative and like to speak? Does it help me to systematically work on drills and exercises? Do I remain focused on what matters when learning through ludic activities?
- What specific topics do I like? What vocabulary area do I need to prioritize?
- Is there anything else I should keep in mind when defining my learning strategy?
Hope it helps.
