While some languages take as little as 600 hours to reach fluency, you can also just watch videos about how to learn the language for 1000 hours. Should achieve the same effect, honestly.

    I woke up one random day already knowing English and I've convinced myself It'll happen with every language I want to learn

    "how to learn a language in six weeks taught by someone who learned it in six years" is wild

    1. Read a beginner book that teaches the language to learn the basics 2. Watch youtube videos in that language and just listen, use context clues, and try to understand whats going on even if you don't understand everything - reverseocontext website - dont use english subtitles 3. Keep watching youtube but pause after sentences and repeat out loud. Pretend youre having the conversation. 4. When you feel like you're getting to know the language, sit down with a camera and talk about your day. - when you dont know how to say it in this language, make a note for yourself to find out later

    I was getting really low grades in English about 5 years ago. I kept thinking that English just wasn't for me. After almost giving up, I started to not give a shit about English in school but instead, I indulged myself with lots of English youtube videos that were actually fun. Storytelling videos, like storybooth but also gaming youtubers like Muselk (when fortnite was popular lol). I always used English subtitles and even though I didn't understand everything what was being said, I was determined to at least be able to hold a conversation in the comment section of videos with other people IN ENGLISH. I picked up new words, my pronounciation got better and I became more fluent. Eventually my grades started to get better, actually way better than other people in my class. I got 8 and 9 out of 10's and felt so happy. That was when a friend of mine begged me to attend a Cambridge English class with him, because he felt too alone with all the girls in his class. At first I hesitated but then I reckoned I'd try it anyways, heck I had nothing to lose. After a couple more months I attended the exam and I can proudly say right now that I'm fluent in English and got a C1 proficiency level. Never stop trying!

    This is actually an extremely accurate description of the most effective way to learn a language, and it's communicated incredibly well in a less than 10 minute youtube video. I'm pretty amazed by the quality of research and effectiveness of the presentation in this video

    I'm from Aruba 🇦🇼, i speak 3 languages pretty well and use them daily (Papiamento, Dutch and English). I am now learning French/French Creole from the Caribbean and am learning some Spanish, like i'm collecting all the language infinity stones of the Caribbean 😂. Its pretty fun, if u can't find many videos in your target language, the PDF method works just fine as many lesser known languages have PDFs with beginner to even advanced textbooks/exercises

    Another lazy way to learn a language is to play a video game your familiar with in that language. I only play video games in Russian now.

    bro explains stuff in such a way that understanding it is easy, actually
  • @panqueque445
    Step 2 is huge. Even if you understand less than 25%, it helps a lot. The less you have an "allotted language learning time" and the more you try to immerse and surround yourself with it, the faster you'll learn.

    Man, all the topics you lead, every stuff you say, it's an exact reflection of my interests and way of thinking. Your channel is enormously good because you say the stuff we prolly all think and relate to but never say. It's just clearly that you're about to get big.
