My goal is to develop proficiency in Mandarin by achieving a score of “Advanced Low” on the ACTFL proficiency exam within 3 months. To achieve this goal, I will attend 1-2 Mandarin classes every week for 1 hour each and practice on my own for 2 additional hours each week, utilizing Mandarin language websites and applications. I will also aim to visit a Chinese-speaking community or China to better immerse myself in the language.
