Curriculum
A structured month-long path designed for tourists with a specific trip on the calendar. 15–30 minutes per day. Every link points to a real page on this site — no homework you can't complete in one tab.

Affirm, deny, and express gratitude with the right register
Count, ask 'how much', and respond with a price

Self-assess and identify what to keep practising
Skim it once. Don't treat the days as strict — if you miss a day or need to repeat one, do that. The path is a map, not a schedule. The CEFR widget on your dashboard will show your level estimate as your mature-card count grows. Aim for ~150 cards by Day 14 (A2 target) and ~300 by Day 30 (B1 target).
