A5 language journal inserts for vocabulary, verbs, grammar and study logs

A5 language journal inserts you can print at home: 22 undated pages in two-page spreads for learning any language inside an A5 ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a discbound planner. The set includes an A5 PDF, a Half Letter PDF and print-and-cut A4 and Letter files that place two pages on one sheet. It is an instant download, so nothing is shipped.

Small daily sessions add up, and these pages let you watch it happen.

How the A5 language journal keeps your study steady

Start by naming your goals and placing yourself on a simple A1 to C2 guide of can-do statements. Then map out each week day by day and record every session along with the skill you worked on. Gather new words with sample sentences and three boxes to tick as they stick, complete six empty verb tables, and put grammar rules into your own words with examples and the mistakes you tend to make.

A streak of 100 study days, a log for listening and reading, notes from speaking practice and a review at the end of each month show how much ground you have covered. The pages are undated and suit any language, so you can print more study logs, word lists and verb pages whenever you need them.

Who these language study inserts are for

• Self-taught learners working on Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean or any other language
• Students in a language class who want vocabulary, verbs and grammar kept in one neat spot
• Travelers getting ready for a trip or a move to another country
• Owners of an A5 six-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner who enjoy studying with pen and paper

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimal pages: white with soft blush pink details that need little ink
• Generous margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Two portrait insert sizes, A5 at 148 by 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 by 8.5 inches, plus sheets for A4 or US Letter paper that you print and cut
• No dates and no fixed language, so you can begin on any day of any year
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm on the binding side, left on odd pages and right on even pages, with 8 mm on the outside
• Lines spaced at least 6.5 mm apart and text never below 8.5 pt, easy to use on a small page
• A dashed guide runs down the middle of each print-and-cut sheet, with ticks at the edges, so one cut gives two pages
• Print at full size (100%) in portrait. With only A4 or Letter paper, print the print-and-cut version in landscape at full size and cut once on the dashed guide. For facing spreads, print the A5 or Half Letter file on both sides, turning on the long edge
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop

Good to know

• These are PDFs for printing, not a hyperlinked digital planner. Most note taking apps can still import them so you can write on the pages.
• You receive a digital download only. Nothing physical is sent.
• Printed colors may look a little different from your screen.
• Personal use only. Please do not share, resell or redistribute the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Ring spacing is different from brand to brand, so no holes are marked. Punch the roomy inside edge with an A5 six-hole, junior or disc punch you own.
• The A1 to C2 cards are a broad guide for checking your own level. They are not an official language exam or certificate.
