Are you wanting to seriously stay on track? Maybe you find yourself trying to focus on TOO many phrases all at once.
Or you’re skipping around by listening to one phrase without ever practicing that phrase in a situation or using that phrase as life happens… then you jump to another phrase to listen to, and you’re left wondering why your family isn’t really using your phrases together… (Hint: It’s because you’re missing the three critical steps of the TalkBox.Mom Process.)
Or maybe you’re doing multiple languages, and you want to make sure you’re moving forward equally in both of them.
BUT! You can’t see if you’re doing too much or too little, and you feel lost not being able to check all the boxes to move forward. Afterall, you’re a box checker! Where are your boxes for your boxes?!
The Phrase Planner by TalkBox.Mom will not only give you boxes to check, but it will give you the RIGHT boxes to check. When it comes to really using a foreign language with your family, there are three critical steps that you need to focus on, and the Phrase Planner won’t let you miss a beat.
Choose a Phrase from your Guide
First, the Phrase Planner will help you choose your phrases without picking too many or guessing about what you’re focusing on for the day, so you don’t feel scattered all over the place but focused to make progress. Plus, the Phrase Planner will guide you on how many phrases to choose from your boxes and from your other guides, like your phrasebook.
Then at the end of the day, the Phrase Planner will give you a clear picture and process for moving phrases to work on the next day, checking phrases off your list, and moving phrases to the Sink-In Zone, so they can sink in over a week or two.
And don’t worry, the Phrase Planner will give you space to store the phrases you’re dying to work on but aren’t ready to focus on today.
Practice your Phrase
Second, the Phrase Planner will help your family SLOW DOWN to practice your phrases in three distinct ways. And as you know, when we say SLOW DOWN at TalkBox.Mom, we really mean focusing on what’s important and skipping the busy work, so you can make real progress while passing up years of “trying” to learn.
And if you family has ever listened to the audio straight through for a section or challenge when you’re learning, you definitely need to slow down and follow the TalkBox.Mom process instead, so your family can make more progress USING your phrases.
The Phrase Planner will have you focusing on exactly what you need to:
(1) The Phrase Planner will slow your family down to focus on listening to ONE phrase at a time. By announcing the phrase in English and saying the phrase with the native speaker audio, your family will make more progress than listening to 100 phrases all at once.
(2) Next, to help your family make the phrases real, the Phrase Planner slows you down to practice the phrase in a situation. Whether you need to work on a phrase for one day or for 15, you’ll be able to practice the phrase in a situation each day, doing the work that matters.
(3) The Weekly Activity Plan will give you space to plan out ways you can practice your phrases through extra activities, like our printable games. This part is totally optional! If you can’t do more here, don’t! Just focus on practicing your phrases by repeating with the audio and practicing them in situations.
Third, the Phrase Planner will help you make sure you are doing the most important step, using the phrase as life happens *after* your family is all on the same page from steps one and two. No bulldozing allowed here.
If your family is focusing each day on these three critical steps, you’ll find your family filling your day more and more with your new language. But as you know, getting through all these checks aren’t as important as HOW we get through them. So the Phrase Planner has a weekly check-in for your family, so you can see if you’re getting in each other’s way or creating a solid environment to use a second language together.
If you want to check all the boxes as you use the TalkBox.Mom Process to work through the program, grab your beautiful copy of the Phrase Planner today!
Yes, of course! Everything you need to be successful with the program comes in the box! This Phrase Planner is just a special add-on for those who love to check things off their list or who might need a little more help with planning their language learning for the week
Yes! The Phrase Planner is for anyone who wants to have their language goals written down and have a space dedicated to the phrasebook. However, we do suggest that if you are wanting to become fluent in a foreign language, you purchase our boxes, which focuses more heavily on language patterns.
Yes! The Phrase Planner is for anyone who wants to have their language goals written down and have a space dedicated to the phrasebook or homeschool phrases. However, we do suggest that if you are wanting to become fluent in a foreign language, you purchase our boxes, which focuses more heavily on language patterns.
The Phrase Planner is detailed, meaning it is quite thick coming in at 338 pages. A one year planner would not only look overwhelming but be difficult to carry around. The six-month planner is perfect for working towards a reasonable goal and feeling accomplished halfway through the year. From there, you can decide to use your digital copy that comes with your purchase or get your second planner!
Totally understand. You can use the digital copy and continue to print it out as much as you like! Similar planners with o-rings can cost $40+ for six months, so we did price this beautiful planner as low as possible!
There are different options if you’re learning more than one language. You could use the same Daily Page for all languages but use a different color for each of them. You could purchase multiple planners and have a different planner for each language. Or you could use one week for one language and the following week could be the second language, creating a three-month planner.
You’re working on too many phrases! The FOCUS should be on 1-5 phrases to make a lot of progress.
You can print the Phrase Planner for your immediate family as many times as you want. (The license does not extend to extended family, friends, co-ops, frenemies, etc.)
You can send it to Office Depot or whoever your favorite printer is. We recommend having it printed double-sided.
Then please skip the Weekly Activity Plan! It totally says “optional” on that page in the planner, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. When you start getting your footing, you might want to add one or two activities per week by using our free printables with your boxes.
You’ll be able to use 100% of the Phrase Planner! The First Fluency Layer focuses on Talking & Listening. If you choose to do Fluency Activities, you’ll just choose activities from the First Layer.
Because we want you to be fluent! To read more on fluency, click here.
The Phrase Planner focuses on the three critical steps you need to take to really use a language as a family. A standard planner wouldn’t track if you’re checking all the right boxes.
Because you like pretty things and don’t want to spend time printing it out yourself!
No worries! The TalkBox.Mom Companion App’s Learning Section and Using Section will help you keep track of your progress. You can use that as a digital planner! (Don’t heart more than 5 phrases!)
No, the digital PDF is a bonus. The planner is only available with it. If we remove the PDF from your account, the planner will still cost the same price.
Yes, the planner will help you work through your boxes if you need extra help. I think you’ll absolutely love it! After you order, there are videos on how to use the planner to work efficiently through your boxes by doing the right things. Be sure to watch that after you order!

I love this planner! I am a person who loves to journal and keep daily plans, so this phrase planner is perfect for me. It has even more than I was expecting; pages like the “sink-in zone” and the “bi-weekly phrase list” are additions that I really appreciate for keeping track of phrases that are taking time or that I am looking forward to learning. The main thing that this planner helps me with is focusing on the recommended 1-5 phrases at a time. The planner itself looks so pretty, and you get a digital copy as well!
I’m a big planner and lists person, so this one is ideal for me! My top 5 of why I LOVE it:
1) Flexibility to write in my own dates- includes weekends.
2) Has a bi-weekly section so I can write down all my thoughts.
3) It’s beautiful and lays flat to write.
4) Has plenty of space for multiple languages.
5) Having a separate planner for our language journey in one place to look back on
and reflect how much we’ve learned.
Amazing tool! I’m not a huge planner person, but this has been an invaluable key to getting the most out of the program. There are so many phrases in the book, from our boxes, the homeschool pack etc. that I’m excited to learn but it can get overwhelming figuring out how to make it happen. The planner walks me through step by step and keeps me focused. There are so many layers to it I know it will remain useful for many years to come. The physical planner is very well made and aesthetically pleasing, and getting the digital copy as well makes it an excellent deal.
I’m not a planner person. But I am a language person, a list person, and I love crossing things off. This planner seemed like it would be able to support my big learning goals and help me stay focused, and I have to say it works!!
I can use this like a big running list of dream phrases, get the satisfaction of marking things off, and my family can easily get an idea of what things we will be learning in the next few days. And it keeps me organized so I don’t have a million scraps of paper floating around with ideas scribbled on them.
Bonus the physical copy is pretty!! And the digital one is sooo practical for when we are traveling and I pack light- I just print how many pages I need and go!
I absolutely love this planner! It’s so great for keeping track of the different phrases we are working on. And since we are doing Korean, it also helps with writing out the Hangul and getting a hang of it. Another perk is that you can use it as a family to really sit down and decide what phrases we want to do together. Highly recommend this for all talkbox.mom families!
I love this planner (and I’m really not a planner person) but I love how this planner is set up to guide you through your language learning journey in a gentle way. I love the reminders and the set up! I’m currently using mine as a weekly planner instead of a daily planner because that fits my lifestyle better right now.
I love the fill up zones. I always catch my self hearting phrases I want to know….there are so many. Then planner has helped me give those phrases a home that isn’t in my learning area. Super helpful.
It is the perfect complement the program.
I didn’t know how much I needed this planner until I got it! Physically writing down our phrases has definitely helped cement them into my mind quicker and I love having the ability to review past phrases easily from the planner itself. My kids’ favorite part is the area to plan daily fluency activities, and I find we’re more likely to do the activities because we’ve written them down. I was worried, this planner would just become one more thing I had to do on top of everything else, yet it has actually simplified and streamlined our language learning. We did TalkBox for a year, before the planner came out, and I wish we would have had it from the start! This planner is truly perfect, both aesthetically and practically!
I love this planner!!!
This planner is well thought out and perfect for keeping your family learning a foreign language. From writing your phrases, to checking off how you are practicing, to daily community check-ins, you are sure to move further and faster along learning your language(s).
I love that you get to check things off often. I love that it encourages you do do activities to help those phrases sink in. But I also really love the sink in zone where phrases go if you just haven’t gotten it down quite yet.
Most importantly, I love how this planner encourages you to connect to people. Real people who are also language lovers learning alongside you.
This has been such a great language learning tool for us. Before the TB.M planner I knew I wanted a physical log of our journey. I enjoy a handheld record to look back on our progress and I liked the idea of the kids being able to review a phrase without needing my phone to check our learning phrases in the app. Previously I tried keeping track of our phrases in a notebook, then an old calendar, and it was okay, but I didn’t know what I was missing! This planner helped us to be more balanced in our approach. I LOVE the Needs and Wants section! We had been neglecting the Phrasebook and this section helped me correct this. I am now regularly keeping an eye out for what we can pull from the Phrasebook or another TB.M product (Neighborhood Walks, Homeschool Phrases, etc.) that applies to our life right now. So Helpful! The Sink-in Zone also gets a lot of use in this house. Such a great addition! Other highlights … the kids love checking things off and coloring the hearts, it reminds me to play games more often, we are using the digital version too as we get our feet wet with another language and, did I mention, what a beauty! The only think I might change is the weekdays listed at the top of the page, but this is minor, and probably just applies to us. I’ve found that some weeks, when we are out of town or have a lot going on, a 2-day spread is the perfect amount of space for all of our new phrases. But I just cross off the weekday and use the space for dates to reflect what we did. So thankful for this pretty TB.M tool and its gentle reminders!
