Note: This timeline assumes a "standard" pace. If you are studying 20 hours a week (Intensive), you can complete these levels significantly faster than someone studying 2 hours a week.

To fit a comprehensive A1 and A2 curriculum into a 3-hour-per-week schedule (1.5 hours x 2 sessions), we have to be highly strategic. This pace is considered "Part-Time," meaning it will take roughly 6–8 months to complete A1 and another 8–10 months for A2.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the first 4 weeks for each level to show you the rhythm.

💡 Success Tips for the 3-Hour Week

The 70/30 Rule: Use 70% of the class time for Speaking and only 30% for Grammar explanation. Students can read grammar rules at home.

Homework is Essential: Because 3 hours is a low "exposure" time, students must do at least 2 hours of independent listening (podcasts/music) or reading per week to maintain progress.

Cyclical Learning: At this pace, students forget easily. Start every session with a 10-minute "Review Fire" of the previous lesson.

Since we are moving into the Independent User territory (B1 and B2), the complexity shifts from "how to say it" to "why we say it." At 3 hours per week, these levels take longer because the grammar becomes more abstract and the vocabulary more specialized.
