Take your time and don’t rush. The goal is to establish a solid foundation in the first month. Practice listening to podcasts and repeating what you hear to reinforce your learning.
Month 2: Building Confidence (A2 Level)
What You’ll Learn: In the second month, you’ll progress to A2, where you’ll expand your vocabulary and learn to express more complex ideas in everyday situations. This month is all about building confidence in your ability to communicate.
