German term or phrase: bestehen analog zu einer Woche aus Einheiten
German term or phrase: 99 Tage lang nebenbei und spielerisch

This also comes from the introduction to the book "Jeden Tag ein bisschen...Deutsch".

Context

The whole sentence reads as follows:

Mit diesem Block haben Sie die Möglichkeit, 99 Tage lang nebenbei und spielerisch Ihre verschütteten Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache wieder aufzufrischen oder kurzlich Gelerntes zu festigen.
Auf jeder der 99 Seiten gibt es Interessantes zu lesen oder Sprachspiele zu bearbeiten. Durch das bequeme Blockformat können Sie für den Urlaub oder den Weg zur Arbeit entweder alles mitnehmen oder einfach nur die gewünschte Anzahl von Blättern abreißen und einstecken.
Die 99 Tage bestehen analog zu einer Woche aus Einheiten mit je sieben Tagen.

Thanks in advance for any naturally-sounding suggestions.

Maybe Day 99 is a supertest! (98/7 = 14.00)

The principle is that the first five days of each unit are Werktage, where as Day 6 and Day 7 (analogous to the 'weekend') are for a change of activities.

agree  David Hollywood: "are made up of seven-day units" gets my vote and the rest is good too, well done L a Briton with hot stuff German as has been validated on countless occasions
1 hr

agree  Steffen Walter
10 hrs

agree  Ramey Rieger (X): ..., one for each week (the 'standard' pinches)//each day of the week - who cares in which order?
10 hrs
  -> I'm wondering if the individual sheets are marked MoDiMiDoFrSaSo or whether you can structure your own seven-day learning period to start any time, even midweek? // Day 6 and Day 7 have different types of activity.

agree  Birgit Gläser: but should something like "with one page for each weekday" :-) but we do know that as it states "bestehen analog zu einer Woche aus Einheiten mit je sieben Tagen" :-)
13 hrs
  -> Possibly, but the pages may instead be headed Day 1, Day 2 etc. Unfortunately, there are no sample pages available on the publisher's website https://www.cornelsen.de/lextra/

agree  Karolin Schmidt
