The goal
Hold a 20-minute conversation in Spanish by this time next year
Make it yours: change the highlighted parts, the numbers and the wording. In Ascanti the dates are set from the quarter you start in.
How you'll know you got there
A 20-minute conversation in Spanish on everyday topics without switching languages.
Why this works
Apps are great for vocabulary but rarely get you speaking. Conversation comes from speaking early and often, even badly. This plan pairs short daily practice with a weekly conversation with a tutor or partner, and sets a concrete test: a 20-minute conversation on everyday topics.
Milestones
One checkpoint for each of the first three quarters. The goal itself lands in the fourth.
- Quarter 1Foundations: core grammar, 500 common words and first spoken sessions
- Quarter 2Speaking weekly: 10-minute conversations on familiar topics
- Quarter 3Nearly there: 15-minute conversations and a native speaker lined up for the test
Key results
Numbers you can check at any point to see whether you're on track.
- Conversation sessions with a tutor or partner: 40 sessions
- Words in active vocabulary: 1,500 words
- Days practised: 250 days
