Speak out loud from day one, even badly; speaking speeds up learning more than reading.

What you will get

A four-week plan with a theme for each week, a short daily list of vocabulary, listening and speaking tasks that fits your minutes, a starter list of 100 words, a small real-world challenge per week and a self-test every seventh day.

Common mistake

The daily tasks take twice the time you gave.

Fix: Ask for a minute count beside every task and a total for the day that must not go over your number. Cut the plan, not your sleep.

Also watch for

The 100 words are textbook words you will never say. Tie the list to your goal, for example “words a traveller needs in a café, a station and a pharmacy”, and ask it to drop anything formal.
Week four is no harder than week one. Ask for a clear step up each week, such as reading a menu in week one and holding a three-minute chat in week four.

Try a variation: make it a 15-minute plan

Set the time to 15 minutes and ask for one task per day only, with a single speaking line to say out loud before bed.
