Q&A: What's a Reasonable Weekly Schedule for Language Learning?


Listen Later

Rebecca from New York asked

Can you talk about how to set up a reasonable weekly schedule for language learning?

In this show, I've got five simple steps for you that will help you plan a successful week in language learning. I'll talk about setting goals, managing your energy, analysing your calendar, and matching your activity to your strengths.

A reasonable schedule for learning languages is one that doesn’t make you groan, but isn’t empty either.

Here's what matters most:

  • prefer regular to all-in-one
  • Ensure you speak, read, listen, write
  • Have at least one big session, preferably more than one
  • Review after a few weeks
