How I Learned Spanish in 3 Months

I ran a 90-day challenge to go from almost zero Spanish to a real 30-minute conversation with a Colombian teacher.

  • Study limit: 30 to 45 minutes/day of active study
  • System: speeches, textbook, Anki deck, AI tutor, and Netflix
  • Result: around B1 conversational level after three months
