**Plan** a day-by-day study schedule that fits around a normal working week:
1. Split the available days into phases: survival phrases, everyday interactions, listening practice
2. For each phase, list the specific topics to cover (ordering, greetings, directions, food, numbers, emergencies)
3. Recommend a daily time commitment of [20 to 30 minutes] and what to do in that window
4. Build in two checkpoints to test recall before moving to the next phase
5. Flag the three phrases most likely to get daily use that should be over-learned to instant recall
