In all of our minds, a new year means a fresh page. This is a space where we can write our own story and realize our goals. I have prepared a plan full of big dreams for 2025. My aim is to record this plan and create a roadmap for me and a source of inspiration for those who read it. Who knows, maybe you will want to plan your own 2025 goals after this article!
Let’s get started. Here is what I will do in 2025:
Penguin Academy: Daha Fazlası Mümkün
In 2024, I decided to make my Penguin Academy app, which I developed to teach English to children, even bigger in 2025.
This year, I will add new games (such as matching and memory games) and tutorial videos to the app. I want to create a platform where children can learn and have fun at the same time. The task is big, but the steps are small. I will proceed with the motto “Big dreams come true with small steps!”
I also plan to share with you every detail I learn while developing Penguin Academy.
You can download my app from the link below, I would appreciate your feedback:

Minik Tarifler: An App to Bring Joy to Kitchens
My second big project is Minik Tarifler.
This app offers parents special recipes for their babies and I want to take it one step further.
I want to add features like user login, recipe saving, scoring, adding pictures and sharing recipes. I want to give families an experience that is both useful and enjoyable. This project is a great opportunity to make the kitchen a fun place and bring mommies together.
This app will also be available on GooglePlay in 2 weeks. I’m excited to announce it.
German: New Horizons in Language Learning
I aim to improve my German level beyond A2.
Two applications will be my biggest helpers on this path: Duolingo and Rosetta Stone. I aim to practice three days a week for 30 minutes on Duolingo and two days a week to complete units with Rosetta Stone. At the end of the month, I will repeat what I have learned and reinforce it with quizzes. In this way, I will consistently complete chapter 4 on Duolingo and reach the end of 20 units on Rosetta Stone every month. At this point, with the help of both applications, I am approaching this project with great determination.
Every word opens a new door.
Language Test App: Memorization Hard, Technology Easy
This year I set a new goal for my software work: An application to help those preparing for language exams.
The app will have features such as vocabulary memorization, test solving and creating individual study plans. I’m in the data collection phase, but I’ve invested enough time in this project to last the whole year.
“The way to simplify challenges is to use technology well.” With this project, I will make learning easier with technology.
Medium
I started writing on Medium in February 2024. I learned incredible things from what I researched to write and what I wrote about what I researched. I met new articles and writers, and my horizons expanded. That’s why this platform will be even more important for me in 2025.
In 2025, I am allocating a big focus to Medium. My goal is to be able to write about every topic I learn, every topic I get stuck on and every topic I want to learn about. I don’t know if it makes sense to set a number, but I can still say 100 articles as a concrete goal. In 2026, of course, with the aim of writing better articles in terms of quality rather than quantity.
Some of my articles will be technical information and some will be inspiring stories from life. In this way, I aim to reach a wider audience.
Every article is an idea, every idea is a change.
Now let’s come to the planning part.

Are You Ready to Plan?
This is a work plan rather than a life plan. Therefore, I hope to be healthy and to be together with my family and to have enough time for my son, my husband, my friends. And of course to have fun :)
A 1-year work plan is long term. We don’t know what will happen during the year, what will happen to us. Still, planning is everything.
I hope this article will be a record for me and a source of inspiration for you.
Remember, every big goal is realized with small steps. May 2025 be a full year for all of us. How about creating your own plans and taking the first step on this path?
“When your dreams are big, the meaning of your steps grows.”
