WEEK 6: Learning Russian in 3 Months

Speaking progress after 6 weeks of Russian challenge

Dorian, Benjamin, and Aurélie have finished their sixth week of the 3-month challenge: Learning Russian in 3 Months. We recommend taking 6 weeks as a first milestone. After 6 weeks of intensive learning, you should evaluate your results! Did you achieve good results? Should you continue with your learning strategy or should you change it?

You must evaluate your progress after 6 weeks!

Why after 6 weeks? We think it is a good moment to reflect on your progress. However, when you want to do it after 7 weeks it is totally fine. The bottom line is that you should not do it too early (after 2 weeks) or too late (after 12 weeks).

After 2 weeks, you are still in the experimental phase. Everything is new and exciting but also overwhelming. It is impossible to skip this phase and immediately start with your individual strategy. You cannot objectively assess your progress after such a short time period. For example, you do not know if the lack of self-study hampers your conversational practice. 2 weeks of learning Russian is not enough to find this out.

Let’s say you follow the same learning approach for 12 weeks. Suddenly you realize that you still don’t know a lot. You see the progress of other students and you become jealous.  Now you ask yourself what you did wrong? The problem is not that you did something wrong. It is normal, even necessary, to make mistakes while learning a language. The problem is that you haven’t asked yourself this question 6 weeks ago. You would have been spared the disappointment of not making progress.
