The first week should feel small on purpose. Learn a handful of high-frequency words, listen to how they sound, and come back to them the next day. That repeated contact is what builds confidence.
Once you have a little vocabulary, sentence practice matters. It turns isolated words into something usable, and it gives your brain context for meaning, grammar, and rhythm at the same time.

A good routine feels light enough to repeat. If you can finish your session and still want to come back tomorrow, you are doing it right.
