Learning a language is actually very easy. You start off by watching this video right here, then you stare at this screen, then you pick a language you have no business learning, do one lesson, forget about it, then search up videos about how to learn that language in 6 weeks, made by a youtuber who learned it in 6 years.

But if you want to actually learn a language, you have to make sure you're not doing it for the wrong reasons.

Sure, if you learned a hard enough language it would probably, impress a lot of strangers and it would probably get you a lot of views on Youtube. subscribers too. I think some people even make money from it.

But if you’re a beginner, you should really be picking a language that’s easy enough for you to actually enjoy learning it. You shouldn't pick a language if you're gonna treat it like a chore.

So to maximize your chances of success, here’s a chart of some popular languages ranked by how much time it takes for an English speaker to learn them.

If you're not sure what language you should start learning, I would just pick either Spanish, French, or Portuguese. Not only are they the easiest for English speakers, but many countries speak one of these as an official language.

I don’t know why. but it’s probably just a weird coincidence.

However if you do want to go for a harder language, it is possible.

Just remember to ask yourself, do I really have the right motivation?

For example. “wanting to understand anime” is not gonna motivate you to learn Japanese for more than a day.

However, “My friends speak Spanish and I want to understand them” is a pretty good motivator, because that’s probably why they made a group chat without you.

Some people have a take a language class for school. But that by itself is not a great motivator because your finger might slip and you might accidentally paste all your assignments into DeepL.

However, The British invaded my country and I need English to survive, is the perfect motivation to start learning English, and so far it seems to have been a huge success.

So now that you’ve picked your language, it’s time for the easy part, which is learning it.

Usually, people on the internet will tell you that the fastest method to learn any language is to get a language partner, or a tutor, or a friend who’s willing to sit down with you, and talk to you like a baby, until you start picking up words and sentences.

And while this is probably the fastest way, it requires human interaction.

So instead here’s a method that you can do all by yourself, at home, to become fluent in a language.

The first step, is learning the basics. This is actually a very easy step, but many people try to skip it by doing one or two Duolingo lessons . Other people get stuck on the language-learning side of youtube, watching 138 videos about how to Learn Korean, none of which include a single word of Korean.

But the whole time, all you really had to do was find a beginner textbook for that language that has practice exercises for you to do.

It might take you a month to finish the whole thing, but the progress you’ll make is equal to about 2 years of Duolingo, or about 12 years of school in America.

,and you can find these books for free by just googling “beginner, then the language, textbook pdf.” And there you go. You could also get them from the library. Or, as they say in France, Once you finish the beginner book, it’s time to practice listening. You don’t even have to worry about speaking right now, because first you need to learn what the language is actually supposed to sound like.

The easiest way to do this, is by watching youtube videos in that language.

The idea behind this, is that you’re not gonna understand everything, but by looking at the video, and using context clues from what you do understand, you can slowly pick up the language without even realizing.

This works especially well because every language only has a few thousand words that are actually used in regular conversation.

So overtime, you’ll start recognizing the same few words and phrases in every video you watch.

And you can really pick anything to watch, as long as it’s interesting, and you can understand at least 30% of it.

If you put on a video and it sounds like gibberish, it’s not your fault, they’re just talking too fast.

this is probably because they’re trying to gatekeep their language. Do not let them do this. To fix it, just go to the Youtube search bar, and add the magic word “easy”, and just like that, you get served up a bunch of videos that you can understand.

Automatic captions also help a lot, cause you can rewind and look up the words you don't know.

There are even websites like reversocontext where you can look up a word or phrase and actually see it used in a real sentence.

But whatever you do, do not turn on english subtitles. IF YOU'RE READING THIS...I KNOW YOU HAVE THEM ON Many people who try to learn Japanese, for example, watch anime. This is not a bad way to learn Japanese. But people who turn on English subtitles, will just read the subtitles, and even though they think they’re learning Japanese, in 5 years, all they’ll have to show for it is this profile picture and a discord nitro subscription.

But luckily, you’ve been using subtitles in the right language, and you can now understand at least 70% of everything you watch. It’s time to unleash step 3, which is speaking practice.

to start speaking, just keep watching youtube, except now, you pause after each important sentence, and repeat it out loud. Or at least whisper it.

Try to pretend like you’re having a real conversation with an actual person. And even think of different possible situations where you could use the sentence.

Whenever you find a sentence that sounds really useful, write it down in a notebook. You're probably never gonna look at that notebook ever again, but it's nice to get some writing practice.

Now, at any point in this entire process, once you feel ready to start speaking, sit down and record yourself talking to a camera. And just talk about your day, stuff you did, stuff you’re looking forward to, and even ask a couple questions to the imaginary person on the other side.

If you ever forget how to say something, fill it in with english and move on.

Later, you can watch the recording back, and look up whatever you didn’t know how to say using DeepL or reverso context.

To an outsider, this might look like a lonely way to learn a language, but if you’ve ever heard someone say they’re self-taught, this is exactly what they were doing.

And that’s all there is to it, if you keep reading about the language, watching youtube and talking to a camera for long enough you’ll become fluent without ever having to talk to an actual person.

Congratulations.

But one day in the future, you’ll probably have to travel, and you’ll eventually have to talk to native speakers.

All you have to do is just learn the culture and keep up with the politics.

For example, if you ever visit France, this is what you might expect to see, but what you’ll actually see is hundreds of French farmers driving their tractors into the capital to form a blockade.

If you stop a Frenchman on the street to ask what happened, he’ll just tell you that this is just a normal day in France. French people use creative protest as a way to pass the time, and you clearly must’ve not read about it using Ground News. #sponsored.

Ground News is an app, and a website, that feeds you news from multiple sources while also telling you straight-up if the sources reporting on an article, are biased.

For example, When I'm reading that BBC article about how French farmers are protesting getting absolutely shafted by the government, the Ground News browser extension shows that this article is from the center, and the left and the right seem to be covering it pretty equally.

If you click on Full Coverage, you can see that 306 sources are covering this story, and there’s a summary from each political viewpoint.

The Bias insights feature tells you how the left, right, and center, are reporting on the story differently.

You can even see tabs showing bias distribution, the factuality of the sources, and who owns them.

But what I do most often, is compare headlines. This article makes the protestors look like angry manure-slinging traffic-blockers, while this article makes them look like strong, revolutionary heroes.

I recommend browsing the International Edition so you’ll never look confused in foreign countries.

循序漸進的影子練習指南

為了有效利用“shadowing”方法提升英語口語能力，遵循以下步驟將幫助你逐步掌握這一技能：

學習基礎知識：從適合初學者的教材入手，系統學習語言基礎。這一過程可能需要時間，但它為後續的學習打下了良好的基礎。
觀看外語影片：選擇適合你水平的外語影片，儘量理解30%的內容。切勿開啟英文字幕，這樣會影響你的語言沉浸感。
主動模仿：在觀看過程中，暫停影片，跟讀發音和句子。用嘴說出這些內容，儘量想像你在和他人對話。
記錄有用句子：將那些你覺得特別有用的句子記錄下來，這不僅可以幫助記憶，還能提升書寫能力。
自我錄製：定期錄製自己的語音，談論日常生活和感受。觀看回放時，記得查詢不理解的表達並加以糾正。

通過上述“shadowing”技巧，運用網際網路資源與自學的方法，你能夠在不依賴外部應用的情況下，逐步提升自己的英語口語練習能力，達成流利的目標。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	you've picked · you've ever heard
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	part, which is · people who try

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
