5 Simple Habits that made me FLUENT in 9 Languages

there is no way around this if you are consistently doing the wrong things you will never reach your language learning goals mistakes are the killers of language gains if you can eliminate these five things I guarantee you that you will see a change in your language development in under a week before we get deep into this video there's a theme that we're going to constantly return to that is going to help you tremendously as you become a language learner seek to understand and seek to be understood that's it basic level communication if you approach things

in this manner you will have a far better chance of reducing the pressure and anxiety on yourself as you try to learn to speak and understand a new language one of the best things that you can do as a language learner is to eliminate decision fatigue if you could have everything structured in a way that gives you the knowledge to know this is what I do on day one day three week one month one month two month three oh wait that does exist our program is out now my friends check the links right down below

if you want to join our beautiful Community you can do so it is on pre-order already started letting some students in so they can get a taste of the value that we are going to be offering in this course and so much more I'm not going to say anything more go check it out the link is right down below if you're looking for a place with crazy positive energy discipline motivation accountability that is the place for you click the link right down below before the price goes up because it's going to go up because we're

putting lots of value in there go check it out all right let's go there are three issues here overanalyzing our material over analyzing ourselves when we go to speak and overanalyzing when we go to read listen or when we hear something this is a problem as an adult when we were younger we just let things happen we let go it is the number one mistake if you are in your head whether it's language learning speaking playing a sport doing whatever you are not going to allow flow to come in this is the one thing an

ability to handle and relax with chaos it sounds abstract but it's truly very concrete I'm going to give you guys an example when you are listening to someone talk you are not analyzing each and every word the reason you're not doing that is because you you're at a level of flow the language is so deep within you at least to some degree especially with context that you don't have to look at every word but what happens is and thanks to our schooling the traditional method has us thinking we need to go word by word list

by list at the beginning how do I do this right we'll get to vocab later on because there are some people that just don't understand that they did not have flashcards when they were two your parents didn't do that you learned a language without flashcards and without having to learn vocab specifically you asked all right because as I said seek to understand and seek to be understood this is the key to all of this what you want is to focus on the whole picture can you understand and make sense of everything that's happening in what

you're reading listening or watching that's the switch that'll allow you to just take in and be cool with the entire situation me as a huge meditator that's another skill and something that I definitely think everyone should add because what it does is teaching you to slow down the chatter slow down everything else that's going on around you and just focus on what matters what you decide that matters that's the point of not overanalyzing and it's the very first point because if you can get past this you can just start downloading the language onto your brain

without you even realizing it too much time is spent on things that are not giving you a return now this is where you need to analyze things because I'm betting that the majority of you have studied another language in school for many years and you're sitting here watching this video about what to do when to learn a language do we have a problem with our schooling and the traditional method yes we do but that's what we need to do if you're spending too much time in an app that's making you play games if you're spending

too much time in your mother tongue if you're spending too much time with a tutor discussing rules or speaking in English or in your mother tongue this this is all time technically wasted what you can do and I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun while you're trying to learn these languages you need to have a focus on things that are going to give you a better return what that would look like is spending as much time as possible in a level in place that's giving you the input that allows you to learn because you'll understand

this a whole host of problems you will have in a language is going to be based on vocab the problem if you've not seen our flashcard video is that the best way to do this is to have a focus an interest that you love one that is going to keep up your motivation and your discipline to return to it and it's going to allow you to think about it when you're not studying we want to make sure that you're reading you're writing you're listening your speaking your thinking is all aimed at a center point we

want to create a cocoon a world for you to live in that way you have the ability at the end of this to know that that is where I want my 20% if I can have all of my input and all of the things that I'm studying around that at the beginning and even further as you get better and better you will do wonders always look to invest your time on the things that are going to bring you the most value if you do that you will make some serious gains inconsistency will kill you period

the only way to make true and Lasting gains is to stay consistent with your work and so now that we've already gone through and said don't overanalyze make sure that the things that you're doing are actually going to give you a good return and we've we've done our 7-Day language challenge we've done other different types of challenges and we've said to you 15 minutes is more than enough for you to make some sort of gain but the truth is you got to string together a bunch of days your brain has to understand that it's always

going to be something for you the worst thing you can do is have 1 to 3 days of work and then 6 weeks off or 3 weeks on and then 3 years off right so your brain is trying to make sense out of all these new sounds and words characters and things that are coming in if you can't give it a chance to make a pattern out of that you will take forever forever to learn this new language you have to constantly be in contact with the language anything that really gets you interactive in the

language is helping but like we said the things in the 20% are going to help you quicker faster with more ease and get you more but of course if you want to go play the the Duo thing and whatever that's fine it's going to give you something if someone forced me to choose only two things that I would have to do consistently to learn a language I would make sure that the first one is a quality piece of material that I can watch pick up context so I can hear and see how they're pronouncing and

doing things the second would be a quality thick book some story that I could wrap my head around fiction is great stories are great because that's what they're going to do to your brain they're going to stick in there and just stay and you're going to tell yourself you're going to think about them you're and it's going to reach your subconscious those are the things if I had only just a little bit of time that I would spend doing it would not be on trying to learn one word here this that and the other because

the vocab gains that you have to be perfectly honest they are majority of them will come from Reading if you can be consistent with a story right maybe even the same story that you have as a movie which is possible it will change the way that you do things right and you have to just you have to be consistent with it for enough time to get your brain to pick up on the pattern once your brain gets the pattern and your subconscious understands what's going on you don't have to put in that energy all right

you don't have to you won't think so hard and it's crucial for what you really want to do this next mistake I call the over tutor I don't know if that's a word but it is now what do I mean by this if you put the responsibility to learn a language on your tutor you will not learn a lot of people pay for a course pay for things to do and then they'll go and then they'll just show up for the class they'll sit there they won't do the homework everything in language learning is about

doing the work all right a tutor the best way to use a tutor as a matter of fact I'm going to make a video on this I don't care if it bombs because if you can structure and find good tutors it's gold all right you have to structure rate they have to work with you it has to be something there's this there's this give and take that you have to understand which is why I want to make a full video on it but to get you guys some simple guidelines on how to get the most

out of your tutor you need to think of your tutor as simply a test at the end of the week after you've done all this you need to be measuring how much more fluid you are in your understanding and in your speaking that's it you start to use a tutor in that way they can start to become completely involved in what you are doing and trying to learn and that's it give them the focus it should not be the other way around it's a massive mistake to just give up that power of what you want

to learn in a language to somebody who doesn't know you you know you all right and because you know you you need to set the standard set the tone set the rules and set the Direction all right it it just doesn't make sense any other way there are so many different schools of thought for what is the best time for a student to start speaking should they speak from the beginning should they not speak at all there are some schools that don't allow you to speak for months and months and months where I stand is

somewhere in the middle because if you understand the principal theme seek to understand and seek to be understood then you can utilize your speech as a primer and way to get back some information that you will understand where the problem is is that people are tempting to speak without having the vocab without having proper input without having a true pattern in their brain you're forcing it and if you force it too soon you're going to delay yourself it's not that you're NE never going to get there you won't let the process happen think about how

what happens to kids think about how much you explain how much the tutor being parents or friends family how how much they go this is a phone you can call people look at all the in look at all of that look at all the context that you get this is a book you can read in the book that's what it looks like and because so much of that you can skip as an adult which is a beautiful thing because you can actually you can learn in my opinion as long as you can access this part

of your brain that will allow you to kill the chatter that will allow you to just simply think and be okay with chaos and be okay with looking and sounding stupid with not understanding everything that's going I think adults can truly learn quite quickly we don't have to re-explain Concepts to you you know what this is we have to explain this to a child child has to figure out what a book is why are there lines in there we have to write what's writing okay what's this word they have to learn all of that you

don't so that's a side tangent but it's just to say that when you are trying to speak early on stay in your lane all right stay within the confines of what you know completely if all else fails remember to get more input you always want to slightly be doing a little bit more slightly a little bit more slightly a little bit more Challen yourself just a little bit more one excellent way to structure your learning days is to make sure that when you have your most amount of energy take the time to utilize something that's

in your level whether that's I've talked about uh graded readers those are books that you know are are made for language Learners or Peppa Pig uh cartoons that you've already seen movies that you know every single word every single line a series that you've seen 80 times and binged watch those so the comprehensible input is very very very good and then when your day is done and you're you're going to find that Netflix at some point go watch something that's still in that language but that's going to give you what the natives are speaking and

just put the subtitles there and let go all right you're just doing that one for fun okay what that does is pull you forward all right and because you're spending the time doing something that is of your level here but you've got something up here that's pulling you forward you get those native those things that we do in every language we don't we slur we we use slang and all those things and so what you're doing is you're pulling from both angles and what will end up happening over time is that you will find yourself

understanding that okay I don't really need that as much as much you're pouring yourself here and this stuff is starting to come down here and then boom you'll meet in the middle at a point where you can flow back and forth and then you'll start to move yourself to only the stuff that's made for native speakers that's something that I do consistently there are some other things that I do of course and if you guys want to check out more of those hacks those tips and if you just want something that's going to structure so
