About this template
Language learning works on repetition. Twenty minutes every day beats three hours on a Sunday, and speaking early beats waiting until you feel ready.
The project sets up a daily practice routine, a weekly speaking session and monthly milestones, from greetings to a ten-minute conversation.
Tips from the template
- Keep the daily task small so you do it on busy days.
- Book the conversation session before you feel ready.
- Change the milestones to fit why you are learning.
