We have divided these tutorials into two buckets:

• Language level: intermediate, intermediate-to-advanced

If the “Daily Dash” approach doesn’t work for you, try to carve out one chunk of time every week.

At least one hour, but ideally 1.5 to 2 hours is best.

Tune into this tutorial to hear my thoughts on how to make the most of your time.

This is what we call the “Weekly Walk”.

If the “Daily Dash” or “Weekly Walk” approaches don’t work for you, one or two longer focussed sessions per month can still make a massive difference.

Ideally 2-3 hours at least one time per month.

Tune into this tutorial to hear my thoughts on how to make the most of your time.

This is what we call the “Monthly Marathon”.
