In this module you will learn:

The 3 pillars of effective daily study How to decide what to do every day Sample schedule

But first…

There are many ways to learn a language

Telling you what to do every day is

problematic

You risk neglecting other areas that might be

important for you as an individual

But it’s also a risk that without a clear path

to follow, you end up doing nothing

I believe action is better than inaction,

because you learn from your experiences

your needs…

Regular speaking

practice

Speaking should be the

cornerstone of your language learning week, both for progress

and motivation

However, because they rely on

other people, they are the part of your routine that you’re most likely

not to do

In other words, when planning your week, start with speaking sessions and fill in the gaps from

there!
