AI Prompts for Learning a New Skill from Scratch

It is realistic if you give an honest number of hours per week and a deadline. The prompt asks for the stage where most people quit and what to do at that point, which is the part a syllabus never mentions and the reason self teaching stalls.

Any skill that can be practised and checked: a programming language, a statistical package, a lab technique, a foreign language, an instrument. The roadmap asks for a demonstrable ability at each checkpoint rather than a chapter finished.

Each stage is asked to name two or three things you must be able to do without help, which is a test rather than a feeling. That is deliberate: watching tutorials feels like progress and is the usual way a learning plan quietly stops.
