Comments
As a native Russian speaker I have the advantage of learning Ukrainian with the leverage of my familiarity of the "slavic" grammatical structure, which is predominant in languages of Eastern Europe. Despite my learning plan being an overall "general" guideline of what I plan to learn, I did not specifically address that I will mostly focus on application of the vocabulary learned throughout my studying of the Ukrainian language. I did not specifically highlight my grammatical learning efforts in my learning plan as a result of the Ukrainian and Russian languages being overall similar in grammatical conjugation and structure. As a result, I specifically highlighted my vocabulary efforts, since that focus will help me address the differences in the languages first, and then figuring out the application of my learning in grammatical and practical application. This way, I tackle the difficult aspects of my language learning and ease into the easier aspects after.
This is certainly a good start, but you need to be much more focused on discourse rather than vocabulary. For example, when you learn food names, you need to be able to use those names to do something, e.g., go to the market, ask for something on a menu, etc.
