How a hundred days usually unfolds
Enthusiasm does the work and the lists are too ambitious. Most people cut them in half by day eight.

The point where earlier attempts died. This time there is a report due, and the day gets done in ten minutes instead of not at all.
A hundred entries you can read in one sitting, which is a more reliable account of the three months than your memory of them.
why the restarts
Every attempt starts well. That was never the difficult bit.
- The attempts have a start date and no end dateNothing is ever abandoned officially. It thins out over three weeks until opening the book would require explaining the gap to yourself.
- An app can tell you that you practised, and no moreIt records taps. Whether your listening moved, whether you said anything, whether the week was any good, it has no opinion on.
- Last time left no evidence behindWithout a log, month three feels like month one, which is exactly the month people stop.

Things people ask
Can I actually speak French after three months?
We will not promise that, because we have no control over your material, your starting point or your hours. We promise a structure that makes a hundred days of practice likely.
Are there lessons?
None. No videos, no exercises, no curriculum. If you want teaching, you buy it elsewhere and log it here as one of your three tasks.
What if I miss a week, not a day?
You write the week down and return to the list. The count is of days you did something, and a week off does not delete the sixty days before it.
How big is a group?
Small enough that unfamiliar names are rare and your report gets read. Exact size depends on the intake.
Do I have to write publicly?
The report goes to the group. That visibility is the working part of the mechanism, so there is no private mode.
Three tasks each morning. One report each night. A hundred days of language.
The next hundred days of French have a start date
