Study plans

Choose a plan by stability, not ambition

Pick the plan that matches the level you can currently complete with honest control. A shorter plan followed consistently is usually more productive than a longer plan chosen for motivation alone.

If you are between two routes, begin with the calmer one, collect one week of real work, then adjust upward only if the lesson outputs still feel controlled.

• Use the starter plan for calm foundations.
• Use the climb plan for steady level-building.
• Use the exam bridge only after the core path is active enough to support timed work.
• Use the return-after-a-break plan when memory and confidence both feel uneven.

Switch, slow down, or restart on purpose

Study plans are pacing tools, not promises. If a week feels too heavy, reduce the quantity but keep the routine alive. If the same weakness repeats, use a resource page or a review lesson before pushing forward.

The best next step is usually visible in your answer keys, review notes, and mock corrections. Those surfaces tell you whether you need more lesson depth, more repair work, or more timed practice.

30-day starter plan

A calm but serious first month that turns absolute-beginner enthusiasm into repeatable A0 to A1 habits.

20 to 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week

1. Week 1
   Open A0 honestly, focus on sound contrasts and greetings, and finish every study block with one tiny written or spoken output so the week produces language, not only recognition.
   Open step
2. Week 2
   Stay with beginner survival language, rebuild requests and personal details, and keep one daily line so familiar that you can say it even on a low-energy day.
   Open step
3. Week 3
   Move into early A1, revisit the grammar quick reference only when a pattern repeats, and record one short self-introduction or daily-routine answer that you can compare at the end of the week.
   Open step
4. Week 4
   Use one resource page for repair, then try the DELF A1 preparation layer as a confidence check and write down the two weaknesses that most deserve next month s attention.
   Open step

90-day climb plan

A structured plan for learners who want to move from A0 foundations toward steady B1 habits.

45 minutes a day, 5 days a week plus one review session

1. Days 1 to 21
   Finish A0 and begin A1 with stronger pronunciation, short review notes, and one weekly speaking recording so the basics become active instead of only familiar.
   Open step
2. Days 22 to 45
   Work steadily through A1 and into A2, alternating normal lessons with one targeted resource session whenever agreement, tense, or sentence order keeps breaking.
   Open step
3. Days 46 to 70
   Open B1, start using writing models deliberately, and practice longer opinion or narration answers that still end with a visible conclusion.
   Open step
4. Days 71 to 90
   Review the weak areas that repeated most often, use the phrasebank and grammar pages deliberately, and finish with one DELF B1 mock or checkpoint-style self-test that produces a clear next-month repair list.
   Open step

6-week exam bridge plan

A focused plan for learners who already know the core path and want to connect it to timed practice without abandoning lesson quality.

35 to 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with one mock block every weekend

1. Weeks 1 and 2
   Choose the exam hub closest to your current level, review the linked core lessons first, and rebuild one phrasebank page that supports the same task family.
   Open step
2. Weeks 3 and 4
   Alternate one core lesson with one timed mini practice so the format stays connected to real language growth instead of turning into isolated test training.
   Open step
3. Week 5
   Use writing models, grammar reference, and one targeted resource page to repair the structural errors that repeated across the earlier mock blocks.
   Open step
4. Week 6
   Run one full mock, review it by skill and by timing, then list three lesson topics and one resource page you still need before the next exam cycle.
   Open step

4-week return after a break plan

A restart plan for learners who studied before, forgot some material, and need a calm route back without pretending to begin from zero.

25 to 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, plus one light review block at the weekend

1. Week 1
   Reopen start-here, choose the most honest level for your restart, and rebuild one familiar lesson plus one short speaking or writing response without rushing ahead.
   Open step
2. Week 2
   Use grammar and verbs as repair tools for the patterns you forgot first, especially agreement, tense choice, and the high-frequency verb chunks that support almost every answer.
   Open step
3. Week 3
   Return to normal lesson flow at a level that feels stable enough to complete honestly, then rebuild one response from memory so confidence starts returning through success rather than pressure.
   Open step
4. Week 4
   Finish with one light timed practice or checkpoint, review where you still forget earlier material, and choose the next study plan or level hub with a clearer restart baseline.
   Open step

6-week speaking repair and confidence plan

A structured six-week plan for learners who can understand a lot but need steadier spoken output, repair language, and oral confidence.

25 to 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, plus one recording review block

1. Week 1
   Rebuild short spoken lines from A0 to A1, keep one repair phrase visible, and record only very short answers so speaking restarts through success instead of pressure.
   Open step
2. Weeks 2 and 3
   Move into A2 and B1 speaking tasks, pair every lesson with one pronunciation or phrasebank page, and keep answer-building in three moves: opening, support, and closing line.
   Open step
3. Weeks 4 and 5
   Add follow-up pressure through speaking labs and short oral responses to reading or listening texts so the speaking task stops feeling isolated from the rest of the academy.
   Open step
4. Week 6
   Finish with one oral checkpoint or speaking-friendly mock block, review where structure still collapses, and choose the next lesson and repair page from that evidence.
   Open step

8-week writing and synthesis boost

An eight-week plan for learners who want stronger writing, cleaner revision, and a clearer bridge from B-level structure into C-level synthesis habits.

35 to 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with one longer writing block each weekend

1. Weeks 1 and 2
   Rebuild paragraph logic through B1 and B2 writing lessons, connector repair, and one short revision pass after every lesson task so structure becomes visible again.
   Open step
2. Weeks 3 and 4
   Move into formal messages, recommendations, and source-linked writing, then use writing-model pages to check whether each paragraph is doing the job you think it is doing.
   Open step
3. Weeks 5 and 6
   Open C1 synthesis and memo work, focusing on hierarchy, selection, and controlled briefings instead of longer but flatter pages of text.
   Open step
4. Weeks 7 and 8
   Finish with one exam-style or checkpoint-style writing cycle, review the exact line where precision or organization weakened, and choose the next resource page from that evidence.
   Open step

5-week travel and survival French plan

A practical plan for learners who want travel French for transport, food, accommodation, and everyday problem solving without abandoning structure.

20 to 35 minutes a day, 5 days a week, plus one light weekend review

1. Week 1
   Start with greetings, requests, and calm survival French so asking for help, repeating, and clarifying do not feel improvised on the day you need them.
   Open step
2. Week 2
   Move into directions, stations, and route language, and keep one short travel question and one repair phrase active all week.
   Open step
3. Week 3
   Add food, cafe, and shopping routines so ordering, checking prices, and reacting politely become reusable instead of scripted.
   Open step
4. Week 4
   Work on tickets, transport changes, and booking logic so you can follow plans, times, and practical changes without freezing at the key detail.
   Open step
5. Week 5
   Finish with complaint and service-repair language for restaurants, delays, or booking problems, then keep one phrasebank page open for polite follow-up and clarification.
   Open step

8-week DELF B2 goal plan

An exam-focused DELF B2 route that treats B2 as a cycle of structure, evidence, and repair instead of a stack of full mocks.

35 to 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with one longer mock or review block at the weekend

1. Weeks 1 and 2
   Rebuild the B2 core first through presentations, argument structure, and source comparison so the exam format sits on active language rather than on recognition alone.
   Open step
2. Weeks 3 and 4
   Open the DELF B2 hub, study the overview and clinics, and connect each weak task family back to the linked lessons before you let the timer dominate the routine.
   Open step
3. Weeks 5 and 6
   Use B2 writing models and paragraph-repair resources to fix the exact structural patterns that still cost clarity, comparison logic, or task completion.
   Open step
4. Weeks 7 and 8
   Run one full mock, review it by skill and by score-losing pattern, then choose the next lesson or clinic from the evidence instead of from mood or panic.
   Open step

6-week university and study abroad plan

A study-abroad plan for learners who need campus survival, presentations, lecture notes, and source-based academic habits.

30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, plus one weekly note-review block

1. Week 1
   Start with practical mobility and admin language so arrival, scheduling, and campus logistics become easier to manage in real time.
   Open step
2. Weeks 2 and 3
   Build stronger oral structure for class participation and short presentations, keeping one roadmap pattern and one follow-up repair move active.
   Open step
3. Weeks 4 and 5
   Open academic listening and note work so lectures, seminars, and denser source passages turn into usable notes instead of overloaded notebooks.
   Open step
4. Week 6
   Finish by turning those notes into short oral or written briefings and decide whether your next step should be B2 exam work, more lecture-note repair, or longer synthesis practice.
   Open step

6-week professional French ramp

A professional path for learners who need formal requests, register control, briefings, and workplace-facing written or oral structure.

30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, with one weekly rewrite or briefing block

1. Week 1
   Begin with formal requests and practical professional writing so purpose, evidence, and requested action stay visible from the first paragraph.
   Open step
2. Weeks 2 and 3
   Work on register shifts and stance so public, professional, and more formal French stop sounding mixed inside the same response.
   Open step
3. Weeks 4 and 5
   Add briefing and reported-information practice so meetings, updates, and recommendations can be delivered with a visible line instead of a list of notes.
   Open step
4. Week 6
   Finish with professional memo models and one register-conversion repair pass so your next workplace message or short oral briefing sounds clearer, calmer, and more intentional.
