My Learning Plan
My plan might be a little different as most of my semester will be focused on finishing all the lessons on the website Persian Language Online, which consists of 3 levels of Farsi (Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate) totaling 60 lessons. Each lesson (generally) consists of a main text and two dialogues.
"Beginner" comprises lessons 1-20; these are the shortest lessons of all levels, the main text being only a few short paragraphs. I have moved on from these lessons.
"Elementary" are lessons 21-40, this being the level I am currently reviewing. Though I have technically read every level, I consistently go back through them with my language partner to practice fluent speaking, using these lessons as a talking/listening exercise due to my familiarity.
"Intermediate" are lessons 41-60, which are quite difficult for me. They are very long, and sometimes it will take 2 or 3 meetings to get through one lesson, where is in "Elementary" it was rare to use more than 1 meeting to initially read through the text and dialogues. My goal is to finish PLO, but considering the spike in difficulty, for this semester I am aiming to progress to lesson 50 (as opposed to 60). I do not know if this is even practical, as each lesson becomes more difficult (and sometimes longer) than the last.
PLO provides cultural learning as well, which is why I think my task list is not as long as the template considering these lessons cover (theoretically) 60 different topics, though the "Beginner" lessons are quite short.
My focus will be mainly on my first 3 tasks, PLO, spontaneous speaking, and beginning to learn writing.

PLO sounds like a great tool for your language learning plan! How is it going now? DId you complete all of the lessons? I wonder if there is something like this for Catalan, how did you find this website? I struggled to have structure with my language partner this year and something like this would have helped us tremendously.
I am almost jealous that you have so much structure! You have such a clear path to building on your language skills. I am excited to hear about your progression through the lessons.
