3. 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.
4. 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
5. 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.
6. 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. Practice
Find a friend who speaks your target language and speak to them.
Watch movies.
Think in your target language.

9. Ongoing for life
You will always learn new words and phrases in every language you speak, even your
native language. Enjoy the process as it is the most important part!
Once you are fluent, give back by helping other language learners to increase our
linguistic diversity in the world!
Good luck!
