How to learn a language
Fast Quick
Easy
I speak 3 languages fluently, and am at a
conversational level in two others.
These are my tips that I use while learning a
language.
I hope they will be of use for you!
Steps
1. Goal Setting
2. Scheduling
3. Most Common Words
4. Grammar
5. Immersion
6. Practice
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.
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
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.
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.
Immersio
n
Learn by doing.
Humans remember 90% of what they learn through
immersion.
Practice
Find a friend who speaks your target language and speak to
them.
Watch movies.

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!
