The plan
Four one-hour sessions a week (Mon, Tue, Thu, Sat), daily listening on your commute, flashcards at coffee, lunch, and bedtime. Open a week, click the links, study. Your checkmarks save in this browser.
Flashcards 3-4x daily, 5 minutes each - use the flashcards - every Week deck matches this plan exactly. Listening 6-10 hours a week stacked on drives and chores. From Week 3: 5 minutes of daily shadowing. From Week 12: 10 minutes of reading before bed. These habits matter more than the study sessions.
