First, take a look at your language choice. Is this a language you previously
studied in high school or university? If so, then you probably already have
the basics of grammar and vocabulary, even if you have forgoDen most of
it. Don't worry about what you've forgoDen as most of this will come back
to you quickly. If this is a language you've previously studied, we
recommend a Review Schedule.
Second, take a look at how different this language is from yours. If you're
learning a west European language, these are the most similar to English.
East European, African, and Asian languages will require more 8me
because they're less similar to English. In this case, we recommend a
course with a higher number of reps (at least 60,000). Again, if this is a
language you're familiar with, we recommend following the Review
Schedule. Familiarize yourself with the structure of language families, or
look up your language on Wikipedia to find out which family and branch
it's in.
For example: English is Germanic in structure and grammar, but has a
large number of vocabulary from Romance languages. Therefore English is
halfway between Germanic and Romance making any west European
language in these branches easily accessible. If your na8ve language is
Korean, the situa8on is different. Korean is not related to any other
language, but it does have some characteris8cs that make it similar to
others: the structure of Korean is more or less the same as Japanese,
which like Korean, borrows a large amount of vocabulary from Chinese. So
although Chinese is structurally different, it is definitely a good choice as a
similar language given the fact that you'll already know a large amount of
vocabulary when you begin.
Third, how many languages have you learned in the past? The hardest
language to learn is your very first foreign language. In this case we
recommend using the slowest, most thorough approach, but together
with other textbooks and materials, and probably even a teacher to guide
you. If your language is wriDen in a different script, your progress will be
very slow using other textbooks and teacher's methods. You can save 8me
with Glossika by focusing mostly on the audio and transcrip8on, then
coming back and learning the script once you're already familiar with how
to use and speak the language.
The schedules in this table are merely guidelines. Effec8veness will differ
from person to person, depending on your concentra8on levels. We
recommend choosing the schedule that fits your daily 8me schedule best.
Once you've selected a schedule, label folders by date for every day of
your study, then copy your sound files to the appropriate folders. This will
save you 8me gegng ready every day.

On the first page of every Glossika publica8on you'll find a How to Use Guide.
This guide men8ons two approaches: one for intensive study and one for
relaxed study. Due to popular demand, we have analyzed our GSR algorithms
and figured out how you can integrate all four steps into a variety schedules
depending on the amount of 8me you have available.
The How to Use Guide featured in Glossika books is printed for your
convenience on the next page.
All of our schedules make use of each Glossika recommended step. You
shouldn't do every step every day you use Glossika. Instead, each step should
be spread out over a period of several days. We demonstrate just the right
amount in the schedules.
Best results will be achieved by doing a mixture of both GMS and GSR files.
We've developed the right mix and right pace for you in our schedules to take
the guesswork out of it.
At any 8me, if you are unable to do the extra work such as dicta8on or
recording, this is okay. You can skip these and just s8ck to listening and
repea8ng.

A. 9-Month Relaxed Training (total of 43 Weeks)
20 Minutes Daily, 180 Reps Daily, 1260 Reps Weekly, 57180 Reps Total
This schedule is for the really busy person. So there is less prac8ce per day, and
more emphasis on Spaced Repe88on. Best results will be achieved by doing
at least one file per day.
1. Where the GMS-A files appear, do this file first, preferably with the book or
ebook. You'll only need to do the GMS files once every five days as you
progress through the GSR files.
HOW TO DO GSR
Listen and repeat as best you can without pausing the audio. If you can't
keep up, this is normal. Just try to mimic the prosody, cadence, accent,
rhythm of what is being said, even if you mumble. There will be a lot you
won't be able to keep up with throughout the course, but it won't affect
your progress. If you try, you will make progress. As you get through the
first 1000 sentences, the paDerns will emerge and you will develop a habit
that mimics the na8ve speaker. At first you might feel like a toddler, but the
more days you do, the more your pronuncia8on will start take form and the
more paDerns you'll start to recognize.
3. If you have 8me, you can try wri8ng down the sentences you hear from
GMS-C files, or recording yourself by reading from the book.
43Week Glossika Relaxed Training Schedule: 20 Minutes Daily (35 Minutes every 5th Day)
This schedule is for the busy person that wants to get results within a half year
or for experienced learners trying a completely different language for the first
8me.
1. Where the GMS files appear, do these files as a warm-up before the GSR
files.
GMS-A files will appear several days before other GMS files. Listen and
repeat with the book open. Pay aDen8on to pronuncia8on, prosody, rhythm,
and accent. Recognize the parts of speech: where are the adjec8ves, nouns,
GMS-A verbs, adverbs? Are they changing in different sentences and under different
condi8ons? You don't need to memorize the changes, but at least recognize
if they are changing. Repeat the sentences as best you can with the na8ve
speaker.
GMS-B files are interpreta8on training files and are the hardest. Listen to the
cue in your language, then try to translate into the target language in the
8me given. Don't worry if you make mistakes or miss a few. It shouldn't be
GMS-B frustra8ng. Try to have fun with it. You'll probably miss a lot in the beginning
and that's okay. Just keep going with the schedule. Our schedule actually
pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes sure you're making lots of
progress even if your tongue and brain are resis8ng.
GMS-C files will appear later as a review. GMS-C files were added later to
Glossika because people wanted a file type without listening to the source
language. Since there is no comprehensive input, we recommend using C
GMS-C
files as review. If you want to save 8me, you can always subs8tute GMS-A
files with GMS-C files any8me you want. If you have extra 8me, you can also
use GMS-C files to do dicta8on.
2. Do the GSR files aaer the GMS files daily. Since GSR are made up of 80%
review content, you'll be gegng plenty of prac8ce with these. We've
rearranged the order of the files to accommodate this par8cular schedule.
You'll start with GSR-Day-002. Inside this file are the sentences in the
book numbered from 1 to 20 which you already reviewed in the GMS
file. Sentences 1-10 will get four reps each, and sentences 11-20 will
get five reps each. The next file is GSR-Day-007. This file covers

This schedule is for the serious learner that really wants to put in the work to
get results within a half year. If you are an experienced language learner
working on a completely new and different language, this is the beDer choice
of the two 5-month courses.

3. How We Built the Schedule
We go through 3000 sentences 100 per day in the first 28 days to establish
familiarity with the intona8on and syntac8c paDerns. We start with 300
sentences on the first day to complete the cycle in 28 days. → Review the first
1000 sentences 100 per day with the C files, then cycle them again with the
interpreta8on B files, comple8ng the first book by the end of Week 7. →
Repeat a cycle of A files from 1001 to 3000, reviewing 1001-2000 with the C
GMS
files, then aDemp8ng another cycle of interpreta8on from the beginning:
sentences 1 up to 2000. → Do A files again from 2001 to 3000, C files from
2001 to 3000, and a complete run-through of the interpreta8on files from
sentence 1 to 3000. If you’d like to con8nue prac8cing aaer 5 months, keep
running through the interpreta8on files for Books 2 and 3 and get extra
prac8ce in or move on to more challenging material like reading novels.
We’ve doubled up so that you’re progressing through the GSR files two per day.
This is how we got the 9-month schedule cut in half. However, since you’re only
exposed to each GSR set for 2-3 consecu8ve days, we’ve added a review set
trailing 3 behind. So the paDern is trailer-new-new: 2…5-6, 4…7-8, 6…9-10, etc.
This means the large rep sentences in the trailing set are also repeated in both
the new sets each day. The last 10 new sentences in GSR-Day-006 (5 reps) will
GSR get reviewed in GSR-Day-007 (4 reps) and GSR-Day-008 (4 reps) 24hrs later,
and in GSR-Day-009 (3 reps) and GSR-Day-010 (2 reps) 48hrs later, and GSR-
Day-008 (4 reps) 72hrs later for a total of 4 consecu8ve days and 27 reps per
sentence, which is great for establishing Long-Term Poten8a8on. All of the
surrounding sentences and their paDers and repe88ons greatly enhance your
brain’s ability to keep hold of what you’ve been learning, no maDer whether
you forget individual vocabulary words or not. You won’t feel results right away.

GMS
ac8ve interpreta8on with B files. Each book takes 6 weeks (40 days) to
complete at this speed.
We’ve doubled up so that you’re progressing through the GSR files two per day,
but we breeze over the first 10 GSR files at each 500 sentences interval to make
the schedule work. This has only a minor effect, since much of these paDerns
GSR
are exposed in later sentences. The majority of sentences are gegng 3 days of
consecu8ve prac8ce which is s8ll highly beneficial for establishing Long-Term
Poten8a8on.

It’s best to use this schedule if you’re coming back to revive a language that
you haven’t used in a while.
1. Where the GMS files appear, do these files as a warm-up before the GSR
files.
GMS-A files will appear several days before other GMS files. Listen and
repeat with the book open. Pay aDen8on to pronuncia8on, prosody, rhythm,
GMS-A and accent. Many polyglots who are reviving a language may find the A files
unnecessary. You can switch these out with C files instead. Or simply drop
the GMS files un8l GMS-B files appear in the schedule.
GMS-B files are interpreta8on training files and are the hardest. Listen to the

An 8-Week refresher course. You can use this for new languages if they are
neighboring or otherwise very similar languages where you can ac8vely
deduce the meanings of all the vocabulary (Catalan to Spanish, Portuguese to
Spanish, Polish to Czech, Cantonese to Mandarin). For some direc8ons, this
tac8c may not work (like Mandarin to Cantonese), but this also largely depends
on you and your previous exposure to the language.
1. Where the GMS files appear, do these files as a warm-up before the GSR
files.
GMS-A files will not appear in this schedule. However, you can swap C files
with A files anything you wish. It is great to use GMS-A files on a tailored
GMS-A
triangula8on course where you learning a very similar language, for example
from Polish to Czech.
GMS-B files are interpreta8on training files and are the hardest. Listen to the

GMS-C files appear in this schedule (no comprehensive input), so use these
files together with the book if you’re unfamiliar with the vocabulary. If you’re
GMS-C
using a triangula8on product, we recommend switching to A files instead. If
you have extra 8me, you can also use GMS-C files to do dicta8on.

You’ll get a separate set of reps every 10 sentences. (Many people
worry they're missing something by not star8ng with GSR-Day-001.
On the first day Don't worry: you're not missing a thing!)
HOW TO DO GSR
Listen and repeat as best you can without pausing the audio. If you can't
keep up, this is normal. Just try to mimic the prosody, cadence, accent,
rhythm of what is being said, even if you mumble. There will be a lot you
won't be able to keep up with throughout the course, but it won't affect
your progress. If you try, you will make progress. As you get through the
first 1000 sentences, the paDerns will emerge and you will develop a habit
that mimics the na8ve speaker. At first you might feel like a toddler, but the
more days you do, the more your pronuncia8on will start take form and the
more paDerns you'll start to recognize.
We cycle through 500 sentences every 3 days, first with C files then the
GMS interpreta8on B files, and allowing a more relaxed pace for the interpreta8on
prac8ce.
We’ve set up two GSR strands running in parallel 60 sentences apart and
GSR
progressing 60 sentences per day with a 60 sentence jump every two days.

book numbered from 1 to 30 which you already reviewed in the GMS
file. The next file is GSR-Day-005. This file covers sentences 1-50. You’ll
get a separate set of reps for every 10 sentences. The last file is GSR-
Day-007 which covers sentences 21-70. (Many people worry they're
missing something by not star8ng with GSR-Day-001. Don't worry:
you're not missing a thing!)
On the first day
You’ll progress through the course at a rate of 20 sentences per day in
with two trailing prac8ce sessions, then skip ahead every fourth day.
The schedule is set up so that you are exposed to all the sentences
mul8ple 8mes over a period of several days. Even when you get fewer
reps of a par8cular sentence, Glossika is s8ll exposing you to the same
sentence (syntax) paDerns again and again. So don’t worry and just
follow along.
HOW TO DO GSR
Listen and repeat as best you can without pausing the audio. If you can't
keep up, this is normal. Just try to mimic the prosody, cadence, accent,
rhythm of what is being said, even if you mumble. There will be a lot you
won't be able to keep up with throughout the course, but it won't affect
your progress. If you try, you will make progress. As you get through the
first 1000 sentences, the paDerns will emerge and you will develop a habit
that mimics the na8ve speaker. At first you might feel like a toddler, but the
more days you do, the more your pronuncia8on will start take form and the
more paDerns you'll start to recognize.
We cycle through the sentences 1000 at a 8me (100 per day), first with C files
GMS for 4 days, then doing ac8ve interpreta8on with B files for 10 days comple8ng a
book (1000 sentences) in 2 weeks.
We’ve set up three GSR strands running in parallel 70 sentences apart
progressing 20 sentences per day, then jumping every 4th day to new material.
GSR
There is a lot of overlap between the three strands. This allows us to get
through 1 book in approximately 2 weeks.
6Week Glossika Intensive Training Schedule: ~90 Minutes Daily
90 Minutes Daily, 640 Reps Daily, 4580 Reps Weekly, 18120 Reps Total
This power user schedule is best as a refresher course for a language that you
haven’t used in a while or a Glossika course you previously did. This schedule is
also very prac8cal for triangula8on packages if you’re picking up a similar
language.
1. Where the GMS files appear, do these files as a warm-up before the GSR
files.
Only GMS-A files appear in this schedule, however, you can swap C files with
A files any8me you wish. This schedule runs through the complete set of A
GMS-A
files once. If this is your first 8me with the language, do A files. If this is a
refresher course, use C files (or even B files as described below).
This schedule does not make use of B files (for interpreta8on training). The
choice depends on whether this is a new language for you or whether this is
GMS-B a refresher course. Perhaps you’d like to only do B files instead in order to
hone your interpreta8on skills, in which case just subs8tute all the A files for
B files. This is your personal choice.
GMS-C files appear in this schedule (no comprehensive input), so use these
files together with the book if you’re unfamiliar with the vocabulary. If you’re
GMS-C
using a triangula8on product, we recommend switching to A files instead. If
you have extra 8me, you can also use GMS-C files to do dicta8on.
2. Do the GSR files aaer the GMS files daily. Since GSR are made up of 80%
review content, you'll be gegng plenty of prac8ce with these. We've
rearranged the order of the files to accommodate this par8cular schedule.
You'll start with GSR-Day-004. Inside this file are the sentences in the
book numbered from 1 to 40 which you already reviewed in the GMS
file. The next file is GSR-Day-014. This file covers sentences 91-140.
You’ll get a separate set of reps for every 10 sentences. Next is GSR-
Day-024 covering the sentences 191-240. (Many people worry they're
On the first day
missing something by not star8ng with GSR-Day-001. Don't worry:
you're not missing a thing!)

3. How We Built the Schedule
In this schedule there is just enough 8me to cycle through all the GMS-A files
GMS
once.
We’ve set up three GSR strands running in parallel 100 sentences apart
progressing 40 sentences per day with a new sequence star8ng every fourth
GSR
day. Many sentences get mul8ple exposure on the same day with some review
on the second day.
