I am starting one of my new groups tomorrow, and one thing I will definitely have each student do is create a spreadsheet to track their progress. For example, I recently came across someone who set a goal of immersing in French for 1,500 hours. They track their daily hours of study and monitor how close they are to achieving their goal. This is a great example of a measurable system. For the average learner, it typically takes around 300 hours to progress from one language proficiency level to the next. Having a system to measure your hours is crucial for staying on track and motivated. I emphasize this again: make sure to create something that is measurable. #
