CLB 7 While Working Full Time: The 90-Minute Daily Routine That Fits a 9-to-5

You work 40 hours a week. You commute. You are tired by 8 p.m. And you still need NCLC 7 in all four French skills.

It is doable, but not with the plan most people try, which is "two hours every evening after work." That plan dies in week two. This one is built around the hours you really have: small blocks attached to things you already do, and one longer session at the weekend.
