What this tool does
A checklist of steps for getting started with a new language: tools, daily habits, listening and speaking practice.
How to use
- Work down the list and tick each item as you finish it.
- Ticks are saved on this device, in your browser, so they are still there when you come back.

- It does not recommend any particular app, course or partner.
- Ticks are saved only in this browser on this device.
