Describe a goal you would like to achieve in the future

The goal I'd most like to achieve in the next three years is becoming conversational in Mandarin. I'm currently at a low intermediate level — I can survive in a restaurant or a taxi, but I can't really hold a proper conversation about anything that matters. The goal is to reach a level where I could comfortably watch a Chinese news programme and discuss what was in it with a native speaker, even imperfectly. I plan to achieve it through a fairly structured approach. I already take one weekly lesson with a tutor on iTalki, and I'm going to add a second one. I'll keep doing fifteen minutes of vocabulary review every morning on Anki — something I've done for the last year and shouldn't break. The bigger step is that I'm planning to spend a month in Taipei next autumn, going to a language school full-time. Without that immersion I don't think I'll get over the intermediate plateau. The reason this matters to me is partly practical — my work is increasingly involving Chinese-speaking clients — but mostly personal. My grandmother spoke Hokkien, which I never properly learned, and there's a quiet regret there. Mandarin won't undo that, but it gets me closer to something I let slip.
