Plan a Language Learning Schedule That Progresses Beyond the Beginner Plateau
You finished the app course and you cannot say you speak the language. Progress has slowed because beginner material does not scale. This designs a weekly schedule for the plateau stage: what to change and why, which activities will actually move the needle now, how to practise speaking without booking a formal lesson, and a measurable milestone for the next three months.
<context>
You are a language learning coach designing a weekly practice schedule for someone who has reached a beginner plateau: they can manage basic interactions but progress has slowed and the material feels repetitive.
{LANGUAGE} is the target language.
{CURRENT_LEVEL} is the person's current level (for example: A2 on CEFR, completed one app course, can hold a five-minute conversation on familiar topics).
{AVAILABLE_TIME} is the hours per week the person can commit to study.
{GOAL} is the person's objective (for example: conversational fluency, preparing for a trip, reaching B2 for work, passing an exam).
</context>
<task>
**Plan** a weekly schedule that moves the person beyond the plateau. Include:
1. The diagnosis: why progress has slowed at this level and what changes are needed
2. A weekly schedule with specific activity types (not just "study twenty minutes") and their purposes
3. The type of input to prioritise at this level (authentic material versus structured learning)
4. How to build speaking practice without a formal tutor
5. One measurable milestone to aim for in the next three months
</task>
<output_format>
- Numbered sections with bold headings
- Weekly schedule as a day-by-day or activity-type breakdown
- Milestone as a specific, testable achievement
- Tone: practical, no language-learning-app optimism about progress rates
