Language Learning Plan
Create structured plans for learning any language from scratch or advancing to the next level. Combines proven acquisition methods with personalized scheduling based on your goals, native language, and available time.
Usage
Specify your target language, current level (if any), daily time commitment, and learning goals (travel, business, fluency, reading). The planner creates a phased curriculum with daily activities, resource recommendations, and proficiency milestones.
Parameters
- Language: Target language to learn
- Current level: None, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 (CEFR scale)
- Goal: Travel basics, Conversational, Professional, or Full fluency
- Time: Daily minutes available for study
- Native language: Your first language (for transfer analysis)
Examples
- Japanese from Zero: 6-month plan for English speakers covering hiragana/katakana (month 1), basic kanji + grammar (months 2-3), conversational patterns (months 4-5), and reading practice (month 6).
- Spanish B1 to B2: 3-month intermediate plan focusing on subjunctive mastery, expanded vocabulary domains, podcast comprehension, and essay writing with native content immersion.
- Mandarin Business: 4-month plan for professionals focusing on meeting vocabulary, email writing, phone etiquette, and industry-specific terminology with cultural context.
- French Travel Prep: 6-week crash course covering essential phrases, restaurant ordering, directions, emergencies, and cultural etiquette for a Paris trip.
Guidelines
- Plans balance all four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking
- Daily sessions mix active study (grammar, vocab) with passive input (podcasts, TV)
- Specific free and paid resources are recommended for each phase
- Grammar is introduced in context through comprehensible input, not isolated rules
- Vocabulary targets high-frequency words first (most common 1000 cover ~85% of speech)
- Speaking practice is introduced early, even at beginner level
- Cultural notes accompany language lessons to build pragmatic competence
- Weekly self-assessments track progress against CEFR level descriptors
