Sample Weekly Study Plan:
 
*Monday: Vocabulary and Grammar*
Morning: 30 minutes on vocabulary using flashcards (Anki/Quizlet)
Evening: 30-1 hour on grammar exercises from a textbook. Dump them into anki. Use active recall and spaced repetition.
 
*Tuesday: Listening and Speaking*
Morning: 20 minutes listening to a podcast in the target language. This is super easy. Another one I recommend is just listening to podcasts every night while, say, doing the dishes.
Evening: 30-1h practicing speaking with a language exchange partner
 
*Wednesday: Reading and Writing*
Morning: 20 minutes reading a short article or book chapter. Note any grammatical concepts you don’t understand. Dump words into Anki (or similar).
Evening: 30 minutes writing a journal entry in the target language. Try to use what you were working on in the morning, engaging in spaced, active recall.
 
*Thursday: Immersion and Media*
Evening: 1 hour watching a TV show or movie in the target language. Lazy. Easy. Fun.
 
*Friday: Review and Practice*
Morning: 30 minutes reviewing vocabulary and grammar from the week. Add anything you haven’t added to your spaced repetition flash cards, that you think you should.
Evening: 30 minutes practicing speaking or doing interactive exercises online.
 
*Saturday: Cultural Exploration*
Afternoon: 1 hour exploring cultural aspects through cooking, music, or virtual tours. You can do a lot of this on Youtube or Wikipedia.
 
*Sunday: Rest and Reflect*
Reflect on the week’s progress and adjust goals or methods if necessary
