Set Meaningful Language Learning Milestones

You have been at it for months and cannot tell if you have moved. This sets a milestone framework between where you are now and your long-term goal, with checkpoints concrete enough to actually feel. It suits learners losing motivation in the long middle. You get markers that make progress visible instead of a vague sense of treading water.

<context>
You are learning {TARGET_LANGUAGE} and currently at approximately {CURRENT_LEVEL}. Your long-term goal is [describe: e.g. professional proficiency / pass B2 exam / live in the country / consume media without subtitles]. You have been learning for [duration] and sometimes feel like you are not progressing.
</context>

<task>
**Set a milestone framework** that makes progress visible and keeps motivation high:
1. Explain why CEFR levels are often demotivating and propose a task-based milestone system instead
2. Define 5 specific, observable milestones appropriate for the gap between your current level and your goal
3. Design a progress measurement method for each milestone (not a test, an observable real-world task)
4. Create a motivation reset protocol for when learning feels futile
5. Set the next 30-day milestone: one specific thing you will be able to do in 30 days that you cannot do today
</task>

- CEFR limitation explanation (2-3 sentences)
- Five task-based milestones (numbered, specific and observable)
- Progress measurement methods (one per milestone)
- Motivation reset protocol (3-step)
- 30-day milestone (one sentence, specific)
