use how you can become fluent like a native speaker in any language you want for me this is the most effective process I use these methods myself and now I'm able to speak six different languages German Vietnamese English Spanish fluently Korean and French on a basic level to get to this point I made a lot of mistakes a lot of trial and error but after I did a lot of research on this topic I think I found the way on how to do it most efficiently in language science I have explored the different ways how
to learn a language there's a 7030 rule that I think is really useful you should learn your languages 70% through output 30% through input what is output and what is input output basically means everything that you put out just like the name says whenever you use a language actively when you talk or when you write an essay input on the other hand is everything that you consume passively listening to a podcast or just reading specific text in a foreign language that would be input now the purpose of this goal and I think most people actually
want to be able to speak the language fluently to communicate with other people if your goal is to become fluent in writing or writing essays or whatever the strategies you need to implement are going to be different but for the purposes of this video stick to the things that worked out for me going back to the 73rd rule you need to invest 70% of your time on actively trying to use the language in this case through speaking because that's our goal in the end right only 30% reading through listening to podcast the crazy thing is
in conventional way in school we used to have a lot more input at least in my high school it was the other way around 70% prob we used on input instead of output we read a lot of textbooks we listen to a lot of listening comprehension and that really helped us to understand the different languages for example English but I wasn't really good at speaking it wasn't until I switched these methods and started to speak a lot more where I could see really huge improvements in my English conversational skills so now that we understand this
concept of output and input and let's talk about some specific actionable steps that I used to do that you can Implement in your routine as well now speaking is the most important thing but how do we speak there's different scenarios all right the best case scenario is if you would have a foreign friend or a teacher that you can talk to on a daily basis that would be the best ideal way because not only talking in the foreign language is important but also getting feedback in the foreign language I used to have a thick German
accent back then and now I think native speakers can still hear it but in comparison to my German peers or other people I think I have a pretty decent accent I have a lot of American friends and they used to tease me for my wrong pronunciation so whenever I said a word wrong they would tease me and I would have this negative experience within my mind where I'm be like okay I don't want to get teased anymore so I'm going to improve my language skills I'm going to improve my pronunciation that's exactly what I did
right but obviously not everyone has access to a foreign friend that can teach them on a daily basis especially a teacher not everybody has enough money to to pay for that or you don't have the courses in your uni so what do you do in that case with the power of the internet there's really no excuse for for you not to find a foreign friend you can go on the internet so many language exchange apps on the internet I want to put some names up here for my carean language skills I used tund which is
a pretty good app where you can text and even call with native speakers and that's a perfect way to First make a new friend and obviously second to practice your training skills get some feedback talk to a TM person obviously make sure that they're not creepy uh especially if you're a girl sometimes I heard that other people use tenm sort of like a dating app just use your brain and uh if it's going to get weird just block them most of the time I at least made good experiences on those apps okay in the worst
case scenario you don't find any foreign friend on the internet you don't know what to do in that case you can still do something that I used to do back then as well because if you're really shy and introverted maybe you're not open yet uh to to talk to strangers right in that case just talk to yourself sounds super weird and it will feel super weird in the beginning I used to do this whenever I took a shower or something I used to just talk to myself try to have a natural conversation like David hey
how are you you oh I'm good what about you and just like pretend that you're talking to another person but that's basically you I know it's kind of weird I promise it's actually pretty helpful because in that way you're practicing sentence structures you're practicing the output part which is the most important part like we mentioned before now we talked a lot about the output part but what about the input part a few strategies that I would Implement number one you want to immerse yourself and surround yourself with as much of the language as possible instead
of scrolling through social media I would create a new social media account whatever platform you're using Tik Tok Instagram Facebook whatever I would only follow other accounts in the respective language so for example when I started to study Korean I wanted to immerse myself as much as I can with the Korean language cuz it's so much different from all the languages that I already know right so I would create a new Instagram account and on that account I will only follow Korean Idols Korean podcast Korean language accounts anything that has to do with Korean stuff
I was kind of like a Korea boo I guess whatever whenever I felt like scrolling mindlessly on social media I thought okay I can do that I can scroll mindlessly through social media but why don't I immerse myself with the Korean language so I go on my Korean language account on the new account and just scroll obviously in the beginning you don't understand everything but whatever you don't understand just go on Google or papao in that case with Korean they don't use Google translator that often but papao through that you're slowly increasing your vocabulary over
time another good tip that I learned from Tim FZ is to learn only words or sentence structures that you think are most useful for the language sentence structures that you would use most of the time when I studied Korean in Korea at my Korean University it taught as some random vocabulary like farmer or uh planting a tree or or like that there could be one random day where I could need the word farmer but How likely is that going to be right words like water or anything that you normally use on a daily basis in
your own mother tongue of words and sentence structures you should learn memorize them in the beginning because if you could learn thousand most used words in another language that's already getting you to the next level that's already enough to have basic conversation last but not least don't be afraid to make mistakes you're going to make a lot of mistakes people might laugh at you people definitely laughed at me when it first started to speak in Korean or in English or different languages forget about these haters tune them out because in 2 years 3 years you
will Master the specific language and then then you will be the person who will laugh at them it's fundamental to make mistakes in any new skill that you learn only way how you can get better if you don't get any negative feedback you're doing something wrong actually if this video helped you out please consider subscribing I see you guys next week
