At this time of the year, internet is flooded with content which reminds us 2022 is gone. Newsletters in my inbox, articles on blogs, posts on social media and my YouTube feed all point in the same direction: chau 2022, hola 2023.
I know many people plan for the year ahead with the same strategies a company applies to their business plans and I know people who don’t do it at all. I’m not a big planner myself, but there is something that I like to do: pay attention to my achievements and challenges of the current year.
Before moving on and turning the page, it’s a good idea to look back on the year in retreat and draw some lessons from it.
This video I’m sharing is from a YouTube teacher I like a lot. In it, she poses 5 questions on us, language learners. When we discuss language learning, it doesn’t matter if we are learning Spanish, English, Japanese, or Dutch— the same principles and tools apply to all cases.
Hope you liked the video as much as I did.
¡Lo mejor para el 2023!
