Adult Language Practice Log
Use with Practicing a Language with AI: A Drill Partner, Not a Certified Teacher.
The rule
Attempt every sentence, translation, or answer yourself before the correction is shown. AI corrects and explains; it does not produce your first attempt.
Weekly drill log
| Day | Focus (vocab / grammar / roleplay) | My unaided attempt logged? (Y/N) | Errors AI flagged | Rule I need to review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Human conversation log
AI drilling is preparation. This table is the part it cannot replace.
| Date | Conversation partner (exchange app / meetup / tutor) | Duration | What I got stuck on | What I want to drill next week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Monthly review
- Did I book at least one real human conversation this month? If no, that is the gap to close before adding more AI drilling.
- Is the model correcting every error, or letting minor ones pass? If sessions feel unusually smooth, ask explicitly: “Correct every deviation from standard grammar, even small ones.”
- Am I attempting sentences unaided before seeing a correction, or drifting into asking for the answer first?
What this log is not
Not a proficiency certificate. Not a substitute for a placement test, an ACTFL or CEFR assessment, or a qualified instructor’s judgment of your speaking level. Use it to track practice consistency, not to self-certify a level.
