00:00:00
do you want to know how to learn a
00:00:02
language as fast as possible are you
00:00:04
interested in Saving so much time that
00:00:06
you end up reaching fluency in months
00:00:07
rather than years after 30 years of
00:00:10
learning languages and 10 coaching
00:00:11
others to do the same I believe I
00:00:13
finally figured out and today I'm going
00:00:15
to share it all with you I'm going to
00:00:17
tell you how I would go about learning
00:00:18
as much language as possible within 90
00:00:21
days if that sounds interesting to you
00:00:23
keep watching and don't forget to stay
00:00:25
until the end if you do you'll get to
00:00:27
hear the one piece of advice that will
00:00:29
ensure you that you too can learn a
00:00:31
language really really fast hi I'm Lucas
00:00:34
I'm a Language Coach who speaks 14
00:00:36
languages and on this channel I help
00:00:37
people learn foreign languages more
00:00:39
efficiently faster and in a fun way so
00:00:42
how do you learn a language super fast
00:00:44
let's find out not too long ago I spent
00:00:47
a month visiting Budapest the capital
00:00:49
city of Hungary while I was there I
00:00:52
became friends with Jonathan a Belgian
00:00:53
guy who happened to speak Hungarian I
00:00:55
know a little Hungarian myself but as I
00:00:58
went around the city with him I remember
00:00:59
being in awe of the comfort and fluency
00:01:01
with which he spoke the language curious
00:01:04
I asked him how long he had been
00:01:06
learning Hungarian for given his
00:01:07
apparent skill I expected this answer to
00:01:09
be anywhere in the range of 10 to 15
00:01:11
years but no he hadn't been learning for
00:01:14
15 years 10 years or anything in between
00:01:16
in reality he had begun learning
00:01:18
Hungarian only two years prior to my
00:01:21
visit to years I've been learning
00:01:23
Hungarian for seven years at that point
00:01:25
and I was barely conversational so what
00:01:28
gives what did this guy know about
00:01:30
language learning that I somehow did not
00:01:32
what essential piece of the puzzle was I
00:01:35
missing that prevented me from learning
00:01:36
Hungarian at that Breakneck speed now
00:01:39
even more Curious I asked him to tell me
00:01:41
as much as he could about his history
00:01:43
with Hungarian I hope that the details
00:01:45
of his story would reveal something that
00:01:47
I could use to improve my own language
00:01:49
during speed too the whole story is too
00:01:52
long to recount here but here are the
00:01:54
most pertinent details he began learning
00:01:57
Hungarian in a school that followed an
00:01:58
immersion learning model even from day
00:02:00
one the students were not allowed to
00:02:02
speak any other language but Hungarian
00:02:05
shorty after that he moved in with his
00:02:07
then Turkish girlfriend and they decided
00:02:09
to use only Hungarian with each other
00:02:11
after a few short months of a lifestyle
00:02:13
in which both his home and school lives
00:02:15
were all in Hungarian my friend was able
00:02:17
to speak reasonably well and he had only
00:02:20
gotten better since that time
00:02:22
this was fascinating to me Hungarian is
00:02:24
not an easy language to learn for nearly
00:02:26
anyone it's not really related to any
00:02:28
other languages in Europe with the
00:02:30
exception maybe a Finnish and Estonian
00:02:31
so most people learning the language
00:02:33
would struggle to speak a well even
00:02:35
after a few years myself included but as
00:02:38
I've just described my Belgian friends
00:02:40
circumstances were very special he was
00:02:42
able to immerse himself in the language
00:02:43
practically from his very first day of
00:02:45
learning and that gave him some immense
00:02:47
advantages over most Learners of
00:02:49
Hungarian but what about those other
00:02:51
Learners what about people like you and
00:02:53
me who want to learn languages quickly
00:02:54
but don't have the benefits of an
00:02:56
immersion school and a Hungarian
00:02:58
speaking significant other what can we
00:03:00
do to learn a language and do it really
00:03:02
fast like my friend did I think I have
00:03:04
the answer but before I share it with
00:03:05
you let's begin by defining exactly what
00:03:07
it means to learn a language clarifying
00:03:10
this definition will give us a much
00:03:12
better understanding of our goal so that
00:03:14
we know exactly what kind of Target
00:03:15
we're aiming to hit by the end of our
00:03:18
90-day period lots of people disagree on
00:03:21
what it actually means to have have
00:03:22
learned a language or become fluent for
00:03:25
some people it means merely being able
00:03:27
to communicate well for others it means
00:03:29
having a solid Mastery of the language
00:03:30
as an educated native speaker might
00:03:33
personally I only consider a language
00:03:35
learned when I've reached a very
00:03:37
specific skill level that level in fact
00:03:39
is one of the six levels described by
00:03:42
the common European framework of
00:03:44
reference for languages or cefr if
00:03:47
you're not familiar the cefr is what we
00:03:50
use in Europe to measure language
00:03:51
proficiency the cefr has six levels A1
00:03:55
A2 B1 B2 C1 and C2 in my opinion fluency
00:04:00
begins at the second half of that range
00:04:02
precisely at the B2 level according to
00:04:04
the Council of Europe the organization
00:04:06
in charge of the cefr someone at a B2
00:04:08
level is able to understand most TV news
00:04:11
and current affairs programs as well as
00:04:13
the majority of films in standard
00:04:15
dialect interact with the degree of
00:04:17
fluency and spontaneity that makes
00:04:18
regular interaction with native speakers
00:04:20
quite possible present and clear detail
00:04:23
descriptions on a wide range of subjects
00:04:25
related to one's field of Interest
00:04:27
in my experience a B2 level in a
00:04:30
language is not something that it's
00:04:32
generally possible for any learner to
00:04:34
achieve in three months no matter the
00:04:36
language there's quite simply too much
00:04:38
to learn and too little time to do it if
00:04:41
you're interested in learning more about
00:04:42
why I feel this way please check out my
00:04:44
video about the myth of reaching fluency
00:04:46
in for months a link to which should be
00:04:47
popping up now in the corner of your
00:04:50
screen on the other hand I believe three
00:04:51
months is entirely enough time to reach
00:04:53
a level of B1 which is the level just
00:04:56
below B2 on the cefr scale let's take a
00:05:00
look now at what that entails according
00:05:02
to the cefr Learners at a B1 level can
00:05:05
understand the main points of clear
00:05:07
standard input on familiar matters
00:05:09
regularly encountered in work school
00:05:12
Leisure Etc deal with most situations
00:05:15
likely to arise while traveling in an
00:05:17
area where the language is spoken can
00:05:19
produce simple connected text on topics
00:05:21
which are familiar or of personal
00:05:23
interest describe experiences and events
00:05:26
dreams hopes and and Ambitions and
00:05:29
briefly give reasons and explanations
00:05:30
for opinions and plans to me those
00:05:33
capabilities mesh well with what I think
00:05:35
of when I consider a language learned
00:05:37
and together they are things that a
00:05:39
dedicated language learner can
00:05:41
accomplish within 90 days okay now that
00:05:43
we've decided to only call a language
00:05:45
learned when our skills reach the
00:05:47
criteria for a B1 level let's define
00:05:49
another term fast
00:05:51
when we say we want to learn a language
00:05:53
fast how fast do we actually mean this
00:05:56
is pretty subjective since three days
00:05:58
three weeks or even three months can all
00:06:00
be considered pretty quick from a
00:06:02
learning perspective however for the
00:06:04
purposes of this video we'll stick with
00:06:06
three months or 90 days this might not
00:06:09
be fast by some people's standards but
00:06:11
it's definitely a short period of time
00:06:13
compared to the three or four years it
00:06:15
likely took us all to become fluent in
00:06:18
our mother tongues or right with our key
00:06:20
definitions out of the way you're now
00:06:22
ready to learn exactly how I would go
00:06:24
about learning a language fast or in
00:06:26
other words how I would reach a B1 level
00:06:29
in three months let's Dive Right In
00:06:32
before I share this plan let me explain
00:06:33
a few things first I'll share this plan
00:06:36
as a series of steps that you can follow
00:06:38
in order to learn a language fast second
00:06:40
our end goal of B1 in three months is
00:06:43
only realistic if your target language
00:06:45
is similar to your native language if
00:06:47
you're a native English speaker learning
00:06:49
say Japanese the time period to reach
00:06:52
fluency needs to be adjusted to six or
00:06:54
nine months instead of three and last in
00:06:57
terms of General structure I'll be
00:06:59
explaining the steps month by month and
00:07:01
describing what you should do in each
00:07:03
month in terms of three things what you
00:07:05
should do how you should do it and when
00:07:07
you should do it
00:07:09
so let's begin with month one month one
00:07:14
what
00:07:15
to begin your quest for fluency you need
00:07:17
a good beginner language course to
00:07:19
follow the best in my opinion are the
00:07:21
with E series of course books provided
00:07:23
by Asimo you can find them online by
00:07:26
searching for Spanish with ease French
00:07:28
with ease Hungarian with these and so on
00:07:30
and so forth asimos courses are
00:07:32
particularly handy because of their
00:07:33
excellent content and structure
00:07:35
typically they consist of small portable
00:07:37
course books that contain around 100
00:07:38
authentic and interesting target
00:07:40
language dialogues each dialogue comes
00:07:42
with audio a translation into English or
00:07:45
some other language you know well and
00:07:46
short but helpful grammar notes
00:07:48
typically assimil is the only resource I
00:07:51
recommend for the beginner stages of
00:07:53
learning but since we want to go fast
00:07:56
I'll recommend another resource to use
00:07:58
at the same time Innovative languages
00:08:00
pod 101 or class one-on-one language
00:08:03
courses these courses all of which have
00:08:05
names like Greek pod 101 or Korean class
00:08:07
101 are essentially massive collections
00:08:10
of audio and video lessons each
00:08:11
dedicated to a specific language they
00:08:13
often contain tons of and take useful
00:08:16
language content that is delivered
00:08:18
alongside English translations grammar
00:08:20
notes and all sorts of other useful
00:08:23
information access to these courses is
00:08:25
subscription based but there are a bunch
00:08:26
of different pricing options to choose
00:08:28
from so you can usually obtain a lot of
00:08:30
high quality language content at very
00:08:32
little expense and there's even a free
00:08:35
trial best of all pod 101 courses are
00:08:37
not just limited to beginner content
00:08:39
I've learned several languages using
00:08:40
these courses and they've served me well
00:08:42
from the beginner level all the way to
00:08:44
Advanced proficiency so that's how I
00:08:47
would start after choosing my target
00:08:49
language say Dutch I would pick up Asimo
00:08:52
Dutch with ease and then the appropriate
00:08:54
Innovative language course Dutch pod 101
00:08:57
how now that we have our resources we
00:09:00
need to know how to use them if we
00:09:01
wanted to go at a normal Pace I would
00:09:03
say pick either Asimo or pod 101 and do
00:09:05
one lesson a day but our pace of course
00:09:07
is anything but normal we want to go
00:09:09
fast so we need to do more each day a
00:09:12
lot more specifically I recommend
00:09:14
covering 3 three lessons of acetamol and
00:09:16
three lessons of pod 101 every single
00:09:19
day but how exactly should we go about
00:09:22
doing these lessons well I recommend the
00:09:24
following first read the content and
00:09:27
listen to the accompanying audio at the
00:09:29
same time next read the text in your
00:09:32
target language and try to focus on the
00:09:35
meaning
00:09:35
after that just listen to the audio by
00:09:38
itself and focus on the sounds of the
00:09:41
language
00:09:42
once you're comfortable with the sounds
00:09:44
try to read the text out loud to
00:09:46
yourself in an effort to build your
00:09:48
pronunciation skills listen to the audio
00:09:51
again and repeat what you hear as soon
00:09:53
as you hear it
00:09:54
this is a technique called shadowing it
00:09:57
will help you really improve your
00:09:58
articulation when you're done with all
00:10:00
that review the grammar notes that come
00:10:02
with a lesson to help clarify any doubts
00:10:05
you might have that sounds like a lot
00:10:07
and it is but we're not quite done yet
00:10:09
in addition to covering six new lessons
00:10:11
each day three Aston Mill and three pod
00:10:13
101 you should also review the six
00:10:15
lessons you learned the previous day
00:10:17
either by re-reading or re-listening to
00:10:19
their content
00:10:21
that's a lot to manage I know but this
00:10:23
kind of intensity is essential if you
00:10:24
want to attempt a B1 in three months by
00:10:27
the way if you're curious how to do all
00:10:28
this at a more reasonable speed check
00:10:30
the link in the description box to learn
00:10:32
about my bi-directional translation
00:10:34
method course which teaches a lighter
00:10:36
version of this approach for people who
00:10:38
want to Simply reach the intermediate
00:10:39
level an A2 or B1 in three months let's
00:10:42
talk about the when we've got our
00:10:44
resources and we know what activities we
00:10:46
need to do but for our first month when
00:10:48
should we actually do these things first
00:10:51
off you'll have to do this every single
00:10:53
day if you skip any days it becomes much
00:10:55
less like you you will learn your target
00:10:56
language within the three month period
00:10:58
next you must keep in mind that I'm
00:11:00
recommending that you cover 12 language
00:11:02
lessons each day six new lessons and six
00:11:05
old lessons as review for most people
00:11:07
that will take up to three hours each
00:11:09
day try not to exceed three hours though
00:11:12
since that might lead to burnout which
00:11:14
is the opposite of what we want do your
00:11:16
best to schedule these three hours of
00:11:18
learning when you have the most energy
00:11:19
that will give your brain the best
00:11:21
chance of absorbing the new material
00:11:22
take breaks here and there as you need
00:11:24
but always try to make sure you're
00:11:26
learning when you're most focused and
00:11:28
engaged in the tasks at hand on to month
00:11:31
two month two what at the end of the
00:11:34
first month you likely will have
00:11:35
completed all of your assimil course
00:11:37
book and most if not all of the beginner
00:11:40
content from pod 101. from here you can
00:11:42
continue on with pod 101 if you'd like
00:11:44
however I recommend trying a couple of
00:11:46
new resources as well link you and lingo
00:11:49
pie these resources are useful at this
00:11:51
stage because they're usable with a wide
00:11:53
variety of authentic language materials
00:11:55
specifically linkq is great for learning
00:11:58
from podcasts and lingo pie is great for
00:12:00
learning from videos more specifically
00:12:02
linkq is a language learning platform
00:12:04
that helps users learn and practice new
00:12:06
Languages by providing access to a wide
00:12:08
range of lessons and activities as well
00:12:10
as tools for tracking progress and
00:12:13
monitoring comprehension
00:12:15
linkq offers a variety of features
00:12:17
including a dictionary and flashcards
00:12:18
and allows users to import content from
00:12:20
various sources such as websites books
00:12:23
and podcasts in order to create
00:12:24
personalized language lessons the
00:12:27
platform also provides a community of
00:12:28
language Learners where users can
00:12:30
interact and support each other in their
00:12:32
language learning journey I used it
00:12:34
extensively for a number of languages
00:12:35
and in particular I had a real blast
00:12:37
using it to improve Mandarin Chinese
00:12:39
lingo pie is a platform that provides a
00:12:41
vast library of high quality content in
00:12:44
the form of video it has a stunning
00:12:46
design and it is fun to use it has
00:12:48
excellent and VAST TV content in many
00:12:51
popular languages such as Spanish French
00:12:52
Italian German Russian and Portuguese
00:12:55
and it is great for Learners in that it
00:12:57
has a number of features such as double
00:12:59
subtitles that make the whole learning
00:13:00
experience Pleasant and rewarding in
00:13:03
short both of these resources are
00:13:05
repositories of language content that is
00:13:07
made comprehensible for Learners thanks
00:13:09
to a variety of tools that each service
00:13:11
offers if you'd like to check them out
00:13:13
for yourself look for my affiliate link
00:13:15
links down in the description box
00:13:17
both of these platforms have tons of
00:13:19
great content to choose from and Link
00:13:21
you even has the option for you to
00:13:23
upload your own authentic text so you
00:13:25
can technically make a podcast out of
00:13:28
any text you want
00:13:29
when using linkq and lingo Pi you should
00:13:31
follow two key guidelines first only
00:13:34
learn with content you find interesting
00:13:36
if you don't find something interesting
00:13:37
you'll be much less likely to actually
00:13:39
learn from it so when choosing content
00:13:41
remember to always follow the fun second
00:13:43
try to learn with content that you
00:13:45
mostly understand but do not completely
00:13:47
understand this kind of content is what
00:13:50
I like to call both comprehensible and
00:13:53
Rich
00:13:55
so try to learn rich and comprehensible
00:13:57
content every day you've already been
00:14:00
doing this with assimil and pod 101 but
00:14:02
using linkq and lingo Pi will open you
00:14:04
up to a lot more challenging content
00:14:06
that covers a wider range of content
00:14:08
that your beginner materials could not
00:14:10
in the second half of month two you
00:14:13
might even want to hire a tutor which
00:14:14
you can do relatively cheaply using
00:14:16
services like italki and pre-ply the
00:14:19
goal here is to speak but you want to
00:14:21
follow the same theme of learning and
00:14:23
discussing content and topics that
00:14:25
heavily interest you do not focus so
00:14:27
much on speaking perfectly just speak
00:14:29
and listen as much as you can and your
00:14:31
accuracy will steadily and gradually
00:14:33
improve now let's talk about the win as
00:14:36
with month one I recommend that you
00:14:37
continue learning for at least three
00:14:39
hours a day during month two if you can
00:14:41
however try to push for four hours a day
00:14:43
you should be more accustomed to intense
00:14:45
learning at this point so learning for
00:14:47
this long should not burn you out like
00:14:48
it would in the previous month adding
00:14:50
another learning hour to your day will
00:14:51
give you more time to cover a greater
00:14:53
range of language learning content as
00:14:54
provide a link you with lingo Pi but it
00:14:56
also gives you time to fit in the
00:14:58
tutoring that I mentioned a few moments
00:14:59
ago speaking of tutoring I recommend
00:15:01
scheduling at least two lessons every
00:15:04
week at a rate of one every three days
00:15:06
or so this will help keep costs low and
00:15:09
give you an opportunity to review
00:15:10
between each lesson month three what
00:15:14
for this month the answer to what you
00:15:16
should be learning is simply more of the
00:15:18
same you should be very comfortable with
00:15:20
intermediate level podcasts and videos
00:15:22
in your target language now so for this
00:15:24
month you should try to broaden your
00:15:25
content base and learn from content on
00:15:28
an increasingly wide range of topics
00:15:30
fortunately YouTube has a near endless
00:15:33
amount of videos in a huge variety of
00:15:35
languages so if you change your YouTube
00:15:37
location to a country where your target
00:15:38
language is spoken you can get a lot of
00:15:41
material as you go through more content
00:15:43
try to strike a balance between quantity
00:15:45
watching as many videos as possible and
00:15:47
quality watching videos which most
00:15:49
closely suit your interests you can also
00:15:52
increase your ability to learn from
00:15:53
YouTube videos by using handy subtitling
00:15:56
and translation tools like those
00:15:57
provided by language reactor more about
00:16:00
them in the description box month three
00:16:02
you can also continue working with your
00:16:04
tutor if you feel like it you can even
00:16:05
look into hiring a psycho tutor just so
00:16:08
that you can gain experience talking to
00:16:10
different people let's talk about the
00:16:11
how the how for month three is roughly
00:16:14
the same as a month two just read and
00:16:16
listen to as much content as you can in
00:16:18
the same way as you've already been
00:16:19
doing similarly you can keep having
00:16:22
conversations with your tutor on a wide
00:16:24
range of topics that interest you and
00:16:26
now let's talk about the when so for the
00:16:28
when of month three you will want to
00:16:30
ramp things up even further assuming you
00:16:33
took my advice from month two and are
00:16:34
learning for four hours a day for this
00:16:36
month you should push for a full five
00:16:38
hours of learning every single day with
00:16:41
the extra hour of learning you'll gain a
00:16:43
lot of benefit for more frequent
00:16:44
speaking practice so this is the right
00:16:46
time to move up to three to four
00:16:47
conversations per week rather than the
00:16:49
original one or two per week this will
00:16:52
help you inch even closer to
00:16:53
conversational fluency by the end of the
00:16:55
month at the end of month three you will
00:16:57
probably want a way to determine if
00:17:00
you've achieved your goal of fluency
00:17:01
your target language a good way to do
00:17:03
this is to see if you can manage a full
00:17:06
30 minute conversation with a native
00:17:07
speaker where you're speaking
00:17:09
comfortably and confidently and with
00:17:11
little difficulty
00:17:12
if you can manage that I'd say you've
00:17:15
definitely reached your goal
00:17:17
this of course is not an objective
00:17:19
measure of your skill compared to the B1
00:17:21
level of the cefr that's only truly
00:17:23
attainable for studying for an official
00:17:25
cefr test which might take you longer
00:17:27
than three months to do but if you're
00:17:29
looking for that objective measure then
00:17:30
that's something you should look towards
00:17:32
doing next speaking of next that reminds
00:17:35
me whether or not you're able to have a
00:17:38
30 minute conversation in your target
00:17:40
language or even pass a B1 exam you
00:17:43
should plan on continuing to learn your
00:17:44
target language there's no real Finish
00:17:46
Line in language learning so you should
00:17:48
always be open to learning more and
00:17:50
improving your skills in new ways okay
00:17:52
that was a long one but we're just about
00:17:55
done before we go though let's do a
00:17:57
quick recap of everything we've talked
00:17:59
about here first it is possible to learn
00:18:02
a language super fast but it's
00:18:04
impossible to know what that really
00:18:05
means until you define your terms in my
00:18:08
book a language can be considered a
00:18:10
learned when you reach a B1 level and
00:18:12
doing that fast would mean getting it
00:18:14
done in about three months and then if I
00:18:17
wanted to reach a B1 level in three
00:18:18
months I would follow this plan in month
00:18:20
one I would grab two beginner resources
00:18:22
asimil and pod 101 and cover 12 lessons
00:18:25
a day six new and six old for three
00:18:27
hours a day at most in month two I would
00:18:30
use Link queue and lingo pi to expand my
00:18:33
learning content to authentic podcasts
00:18:34
and videos respectively I would also
00:18:36
begin meeting with a tutor for
00:18:38
conversational practice and fit all of
00:18:40
these activities into at least four
00:18:42
hours a day in month three I would do
00:18:45
all of the same things I planned for
00:18:46
month two but it would broaden the range
00:18:48
of content I learned from and up the
00:18:50
intensity of my learning plan this means
00:18:52
learning for at least five hours a day
00:18:54
and meeting with a tutor three or four
00:18:57
times a week
00:18:58
at the end of all that I would determine
00:19:00
if I reached my goal by challenging
00:19:01
myself to have a comfortable
00:19:03
conversation with a native speaker for
00:19:04
at least 30 minutes additionally if I
00:19:07
had the time and inclination I might
00:19:09
even sign up to take a B1 proficiency
00:19:12
exam oh and by the way if you want a
00:19:14
more in-depth look at the steps I take
00:19:16
to learn any language from the very
00:19:18
beginning check out my course become a
00:19:20
master language learner level one the
00:19:21
bi-directional translation method in the
00:19:24
course I go into exhaustive detail on my
00:19:26
most powerful language learning
00:19:27
technique and show you exactly how you
00:19:29
can put into practice yourself in your
00:19:31
own life
00:19:32
that's all for me for now thanks for
00:19:34
watching and as always happy language
00:19:36
learning
