The document provides tips for learning a language quickly and effectively. It recommends setting specific, measurable goals with deadlines, scheduling daily study sessions of at least 30 minutes, focusing on the most common words which make up over 80% of oral language, and practicing through immersion by finding language partners to speak with and watching movies in the target language. Grammar is suggested to be learned naturally rather than seeking perfection. The tips are meant to help learners achieve fluency efficiently while also enjoying the lifelong process.

4. Goal Setting
Invision where you want to be with your language after a limited amount of time.
Make sure your goal is:
Specific
Measurable
Has a deadline
A good goal: I will have a 20 minute conversation in Arabic with a native Arabic
speaker at the pyramids in Egypt this upcoming May.

5. Scheduling
You must take time out for
learning every single day, and be
consistent.
Minimum of 30 minutes a day.
Repeat this for 1 month

6. Most common words!
Pareto’s Law
● You can learn 80% of a language in 20% of the time, it will take you the other
80% of the time to learn the remaining advanced 20% of the language.
● The 1,000 most used words make up 92.7% of oral speaking in a language.
● Learn 10 words for 100 days, and you will be set.

7. Grammar
Grammar is not the most important and will slow you down.
Skip grammar, let it come naturally.
Do not seek perfection, as it will kill your confidence.

8. Immersio
n
Learn by doing.
Humans remember 90% of what they learn through
immersion.

9. Practice
Find a friend who speaks your target language and speak to
them.
Watch movies.

Good luck!
