Teach Yourself a Language to Conversational Level

You have downloaded the app and finished the first five lessons three times. This builds a plan with a realistic timeline, a weekly schedule split across input and production in the right ratio, named resources that suit your learning style, and the one mistake that causes most self-taught language learners to stall at the same level for years.

<context>
You are a language learning coach helping someone reach conversational level in {TARGET_LANGUAGE} from [starting point: beginner / elementary / intermediate]. They have [daily time available] minutes per day and [total time frame: e.g. six months / one year]. Their learning style is [e.g. prefers listening / prefers reading / needs structure / likes apps].
</context>

<task>
**Build** a realistic learning plan:
1. Define conversational: what can the learner actually do at B1/B2 level in concrete terms
2. A weekly schedule: how to allocate time across input (listening, reading), active production (speaking, writing), vocabulary, and grammar in a ratio that actually works
3. Specific resources: name actual tools, apps, courses, or methods for each activity type and why each suits this learner
4. The milestone check at one month, three months, and six months: what to measure and how
5. The single most common mistake that causes learners to plateau and how to avoid it
</task>

<output_format>
- Conversational definition: three to five concrete things the learner will be able to do
- Weekly schedule: table or bullet format with time allocations
- Resources: named, with a one-line rationale for each
- Milestones: three checkpoints with measurable outcomes
- Plateau warning: one paragraph
- Tone: direct and realistic; account for the fact that most people overestimate early and underestimate long-term
