Q: How long does it take to finish the book?

A: For self-study, plan 4–6 months (one unit per week). In a classroom, typically 60–90 hours of instruction.

• Example: "Today I learned how to use 'should have' for past regrets. I also learned 5 new idioms for describing weather."

• This removes your foreign accent and improves fluidity.
