Status Updates From Fluent in 3 Months: How Any...

The beginning of this book was very motivating. Skipped the part about how he learns as it was too complicated for my style. And then the end was good too.

I liked his idea of mini missions.

Couch surfing- invite people to lunch who host other people and speak the language you want to speak

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE WITH OTHER PEOPLE

Memorize scripts (phrases) that you will often use.

Rogue memorization doesn’t keep words there especially with not being able to produce words instead of just recognize them.


Create an image or short story when trying to remember a new word - stories with similar sounds

You need breaks esp with full on immersion.

When you’re doing some tbh big that doesn’t feel like work (watching tv in the la gauge) you can learn a lot more without as many breaks)

Fluent in 3 months: several hours a day and you can probably get to A1 or A2 maybe B1, avoid other side projects

- set good goals (not just learn Spanish): specific target in a specific timeline

I am frustrated with this book. I thought it was going to teach me to how to learn a language quickly but I am 13% in and it has just told me that I am capable of learning a language which I know. I just don’t know what to do
