The best daily routine is the one you can actually stick to.

For most learners:

• 10 minutes a day beats 2 hours on weekends.
• 30–45 minutes daily is the sweet spot for noticeable progress.
• If you're cramming, you're probably forgetting. But if you're consistent, you’ll retain more.

The real answer depends on your goals:

• Want casual travel fluency? 10–15 min/day over months.
• Want fast results for a job or exam? 30–60 min/day with structure.

It’s not just about time. It’s about what you do with that time. Focus on:

• Listening to native content.
• Saving useful phrases.
• Reviewing what you learned last week.

Even better, stack it with habits you already have. Listen while walking, cooking, or commuting. That’s how you turn language practice into part of your lifestyle - not just another to-do list item.
