Day one of the Language Hacking Technique.

Language Hacking Technique. Taken from Benny.
"When you go through your journey alone, it is much easier to lose track of the goal and even your motivation." Thus, this blog has been borne. It is part of an assignment.
What I am aiming for in learning French:
I haven't hashed out the calendar yet, because I need to read a bit more about the resources out there. Hopefully they will be in the hacking guide as I get farther along. I also wonder if the Hacking Guide should be a little more organized in the order of the worksheets.
So, here are my goals (worksheet two):
1. Read Le Petit Prince aloud by mid-September, spending a max of 3 minutes per page and only using the dictionary 2-3 times per page.
2. Watch Ne le dis a persone (Tell No One, one of my all time favorite movies) without the help of subtitles by mid-September, and be able to understand 90-95% of the complicated content by then.
3. Be able to converse with a French woman for at least 20 minutes fluently about the best vacation spots in France, what the French countryside is like, what her favorite food is, perhaps the French view of Americans, and the differences between American and French culture. I would also like to tell a joke and make her laugh.
4. I would like to join French Facebook - this might should be higher up, as this would be a good way to chat with and meet French people.
5. Create a blog entitled: Food of Atlanta, posting in English and French, then entirely in French. This will go on my CV for residency programs.
6. I would eventually like to converse medically in French - but I am not putting a timeline on this yet... I would like to accomplish this after
Au revoire.
