The Challenge
For the next 100 days, you will commit to learning and practicing a new language every single day. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistent progress, immersion, and measurable improvement.
The Rules
- Study the language daily – No zero days. Even 10 minutes counts.
- Speak or write in the language every day – No passive learning; use it actively.
- Document your progress – Track words learned, sentences spoken, or practice sessions completed.
- Engage with native content – Read, listen, or watch something in your target language daily.
- Measure progress objectively – Use a journal, app, or recordings to compare improvement.
Clear Goals
- Basic Communication – Hold a simple conversation by Day 100.
- Vocabulary Growth – Learn and retain at least 1,000 new words.
- Listening & Comprehension – Understand native speech better over time.
- Pronunciation & Speaking Confidence – Reduce fear of speaking out loud.
Measurements & Tracking
- Daily Study Log – Track what you learned and practiced.
- Vocabulary Tracker – Record new words and review them regularly.
- Speaking & Writing Samples – Record yourself speaking or write short journal entries.
- Checkpoint Tests (Day 30, 60, 100) – Assess comprehension, vocabulary, and speaking ability.
How to Get Started
- Choose Your Language – Pick something you’re excited to commit to.
- Set Up Your Tools – Apps (Duolingo, Anki, LingQ), books, tutors, immersion strategies.
- Create a Daily Plan – Mix passive (listening) and active (speaking/writing) learning.
- Start Small, Build Up – Begin with key phrases, then expand to full sentences.
By the end of 100 days, you’ll have a solid foundation in a new language, increased confidence in speaking, and a structured learning habit. Ready to get fluent?
