This checklist lays out a practical, 90-day plan to reach a clear CEFR target through daily immersion, SRS flashcards, grammar work, and speaking practice. It’s for motivated self-learners who can commit to daily study and want measurable progress.

Progress
0 / 18
  1. Set a clear 90-day target level and focus topics — Pick CEFR level (A1/A2/B1) and 2–3 real-life topics to prioritize.
  2. Break the target into 30/60/90 milestones — Define measurable outcomes (vocab count, minutes speaking, mock test score).
  3. Schedule daily immersion time and commit to it — Block 60 minutes per day; split sessions if needed for focus.
  4. Choose a primary grammar resource and quick reference — Pick one course/book plus a concise grammar cheat sheet.
  5. Select a core vocabulary list relevant to your goals — Use frequency lists or topic-based lists aligned to your milestones.
  6. Set up an SRS flashcard app and configure daily limits — Install Anki/Memrise, set new/day and review limits to avoid overload.
  7. Create initial flashcards with words, sentences, and audio — Aim for 200–300 cards to start; include context and pronunciation.
  8. Design a daily 4-part practice routine — Split your daily hour across SRS, grammar drills, listening, and speaking.
  9. Do SRS reviews and learn new cards — Spend ~30 min on reviews and a few new items; keep accuracy focus.
  10. Practice focused grammar drills — Spend ~15 min on targeted exercises tied to your current mistakes.
  11. Do intensive listening practice — Spend 10–20 min on graded audio, podcasts, or subtitled clips.
  12. Do active speaking practice (partner, tutor, or self-record) — Spend 15–30 min speaking: conversation, roleplay, or recorded monologue.
  13. Find and schedule a regular speaking partner or tutor — Book at least 2–3 short sessions per week for real conversation practice.
  14. Practice shadowing daily to improve pronunciation — Shadow short audio for 10 min focusing on rhythm and intonation.
  15. Consume target-language media daily — Consume 30 min of podcasts, shows, news, or articles relevant to you.
  16. Keep a weekly error log and target weaknesses — Record recurring mistakes from speaking and correct them systematically.
  17. Run milestone assessments at 30, 60, and 90 days — Take mock CEFR tests or timed speaking tasks and log your scores.
  18. Plan post-90 review and maintenance habits — Schedule ongoing weekly practice to retain gains and grow further.
