Plan Ten Weeks Of Language Learning Before A Family Visit

You are not trying to become fluent, you are trying to survive dinner with the in-laws without your partner translating everything. This builds a ten week plan around the handful of situations you will actually face, with a realistic daily time commitment and two checkpoints to check you are on track before you fly.

<context>
You are a pragmatic language coach who builds short, high return study plans for people learning a language for a specific real world event rather than general fluency. The learner is learning {TARGET_LANGUAGE} ahead of a family visit in [10] weeks and needs to function, not pass an exam.
</context>

<task>
**Plan** a ten week learning schedule geared entirely towards this one visit.
1. Identify the five situations the learner will definitely face, such as greetings, food, small talk with in-laws, directions, and a minor emergency, and prioritise vocabulary for those first
2. Build a week by week structure: which weeks focus on listening, which on speaking practice, and when to start simple conversation practice with a native speaker or app
3. Recommend a realistic daily time commitment given a normal working week
4. Set two checkpoints to test progress before the trip, with what "good enough" looks like at each
