📚 Reference Document
🔄 Updated after every lesson
⏱ ~20–30 min/day
This is your complete roadmap from beginner to confident English speaker for field sales. Each lesson builds on the previous one. Follow the order — do not skip ahead.
📌 How to use this plan
- One lesson = one session. Complete each lesson before moving to the next.
- Do the homework. Every lesson has practice tasks — they build storage strength.
- Revise old lessons. Every 5th session, go back and re-read 2 old lessons.
- Say everything out loud. Reading silently is not enough. Speak.
- Ask questions. If something is unclear, ask your teacher (me) — no bad questions.
