I knew a guy who picked up languages really quickly and he told me his secret was to think in the language as much as possible.

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" ~ Mark Twain

In short: don't approach like an academic, learn it like you're gonna use it. Think of conversations you're going to have. Observe native speakers. Brilliant

*TL;DR: reject adulthood, return to baby.*

"you can definitely learn how to have a basic conversation in any language in 24 hours..." still haven't mastered this in my native language in over 24 years but ok

So basically what you’re saying is I need friends 🤦🏻‍♀️

I pick up languages quickly and the thing the helps me the most is becoming a native speaker in my head. My personality changes depending on what language I'm thinking in. To anybody that wants to learn a language: Learn at your own pace,Watch TV listen to music in target language, learn the basics, and learn words and verbs that are the most useful for you. If you like food then learn about food and all the things that connect to it. This way you will have fun learning the language because you're learning how to express yourself about something you already enjoy.

I’m a French teacher in a public middle school and you are SO right: we have language education so wrong in the US! I use a method known as Comprehensible Input with lots of talking, storytelling and repetition. Those texts have to go! And more students stay in French than any other language at my school.

I was totally fired up to learn a new language - until he said I need a friend.

4:50 “Hello I can speak Korean” “Oh how do you know Korean?” “Well, I learned it yesterday” 😂😂😂😂

When I was in high school, I attended a summer camp in Switzerland where I was surrounded by Japanese kids. As they were pretty much the only kids my age, I started asking them how to say this or that (full sentences in their respective context) , then writing everything down on my phone along with their translation. I remember spending entire nights just going through basics sentences with my Japanese roommate, and once I could recognize them in a sentence, it was way easier to focus on the part of the sentence I didn't know yet, and learn it. By speaking with them everyday in only Japanese for a little over 6 weeks, I could pretty easily have a basic conversation with them in their language, and at the same level as another language I had been learning the traditional school way for years!

This video makes a real lot of sense. I am 86 and have just decided to give Tagalog a go.

I’ve also noticed trying to learn a language as a child would is a lot easier than reading out of a textbook. Great video.

This dude: speak with native speakers The language I'm learning: Esperanto

I have autism and I have have trouble speaking with people in my native English. You have a communication super power, must be amazing to be able to speak to so many people.

Yes, this is true, I went on holiday to tenerife with my family a couple years ago and I spent 1 week learning Spanish (few hours a day) I was able to ask for things, order some food/drinks. The only problem was I wasn’t too good at understand what they were saying. But, that was just with a week of learning.

Him: you need a friend that speaks the native language. Me an introvert: well shit

4:30 is when he actually starts explaining

My daughter taught herself Mandarin when she was 7 years old. I have yet to figure out how she did it, but her Mandarin was good enough for her to carry on conversation with Chinese locals.

I am also a polyglot and what he has described is exactly the methods I have been using for over 50 years. What he doesn't mention is another aspect that gives him a major edge: he is principally auditory. I am as well. 2/3 of adults are principally visual however; that is their strength. For them, reading and writing work better since they tend to have an "eye" for languages, rather than an "ear" for languages...

If i spoke to the locals in china with my broken mandarin, i’d be escorted out of the country

I think you need to come up with a language learning program. I've honestly tried learning so many languages throughout the years and it's been so difficult - but your approach is so practical. Please do this for us. We need you.

I’m amazed at how you brought up learning “the baby way” because that’s exactly how I try to explain to people what learning a language is truly like! I’ve always more so thought about it in terms of pronunciation (like how as babies and toddlers we move our mouths, trying to mimic the sounds we hear until we get it right) but I’m finally glad to see someone who disagrees with how languages are normally “taught” because it’s so inaccurate as to how humans actually pick up languages the best.

Xiaoman seems to take for granted the ability to quickly and easily memorize words, phrases, sounds and meanings. I still remember the French and Italian I learned in my teens and twenties. Of the Russian I learned in my thirties, and the Dutch I learned in my forties, I retain much less. Now I’m 73 and I can study something every day for a week, and forget it in a month. Make hay while the sun shines.

When I started learning Korean I started watching children shows to memories sentences. The child/baby perspective of learning a language is indeed very important

This the traditional way of learning Languages. One we all used before but forgot

I took 6 years of spanish but barely could speak. I then went and lived in Montevideo Uruguay for 3 months and by the time I left I was basically fluent. The only limiting factor was vocabulary. Total immersion is the best method because it forces you to learn. Sink or swim.

Yessss the pattern of speaking! That's exactly how I would try teaching English to my korean students! 1 base sentence with ~10 examples and then had them fill in their own examples. It goes much better and helps so much more than memorizing where you don't know how else to use it and gets overwhelming. Great language tips 💖

*Xiaoma walks into a classroom* 'f*uck this, we're going shopping'

I can’t remember what I ate last night let alone memorize a language.

8:58: "ma, ma, ma, ma!!" My son calls me all of those...had no idea he was calling me a horse...

Watching this was extremely helpful! It's overwhelming trying to pick up all the new concepts and stuff

Just came back from 24 hours ago, now I am fluent in every single language

You should do a video/series where you try to learn a new language

Very encouraging...thank you! Am going to try this approach. I think your way of learning languages removes a kind of internal barrier/overwhelm people often have.

Thanks so much for sharing your approach! Really helpful for my new journey

So in other words my parents should have spoken to me in Chinese as a baby? They’re 47 years too late! 😭 😭 😭

"It's good to speak with a native speaker. You can do it online, but it's easier in person" Hah not right now! 😂😔

Your tips are perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

You're amazingly enlightened on the subject. Thank you.

*Xiaoma walks in* laoshu: finally a worthy opponent

Text books are so bad, where you’re a kid you didn’t just sit as a baby and read a text book to learn the alphabet and colors, you hear people talking you mimic and you learn the meanings by asking your parents...

Thanks you a lot! These are great tips. I'll try to test them in practice right away

you are an absolute legend this helped sooo much! youve earned a subscriber good sir!

First video I’ve ever seen where the person acknowledges and apologizes for the clickbait title

I believe that you are as smart as William James Sidis in speaking a language in one day.

Great advice, really appreciated and just what I needed 🙏

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

In 24 hours I only learned to count to 10 in 5 languages

"there are 2 types of pepole, pepole who learn languages fast, and me."

I must say I've studied multiple languages and have done it the wrong way (by text books) but your tips will save years of stress when I learn Chinese. I studied a few mouths back and fell out of my schedule but recently started again and I'll definitely use your tips.

This is so enlightening thank you!

This was such a good video!! Please Xiaoma, make more like this on how to learn languages or introductions to languages, I.E. common phrases to learn and/or starting points in the languages you know!

I wish I wasn’t so lazy when I was younger and be able to learn a language as you do and have. I respect you for your hard work.

Thanks Ari, another great video. Kind regards, Danielle from New Zealand.

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing your techniques.

i just notice he kinda sounds like the Rat from Ratatouille. (not to be taken as offensive, just noticed)

This is the first time someone gets real about learning languages. It's all true, I've tried it. It works as long as you are dedicated to learn and memorize.

These are excellent points you make about learning conversational language.

Amen Xiaoma, I've experienced this first-hand living in Germany; got involved in the German culture before knowing any German, but started asking every day how to say this, that and everything and started practicing and listening every day. Then I came back to America and took German in college (completely backwards from most peoples' experience in language learning). - Noel LaChance

I teach at a university in Japan, and one of the most common questions I get from students is "How can I improve my English?" and my answer is always the same - "Just use it as much as possible! Use it with your friends, with English speaking teachers, at home alone, anywhere and everywhere. Live in the language!" By the end of each semester, they have a pretty good grasp of it and can hold decent conversations!

I have a cousin born and bred in Texas. Speaks fluent Vietnamese. When he was 6 he moved to a new neighborhood and his neighbors were vietnamese. 2 boys his age he played with them all the time and the brothers constantly talked to each other in their native language then one day my cousin started talking to them in Vietnamese like it was natural.

I just downloaded this Anki tool and Im looking forward to use it to learn italian! Thank you for advice in language learning. The most helpful thing from all of your video for me, was hear you say, that for the beginning its not so important to learn alphabet and grammar rules and stuff but just learn phrases that are helpful in a conversation!

I think your approach to learning a language intuitively makes sense. You're basically starting out by imagining some situations in which you might find yourself, what you would say to others, how they might respond, what you might then say in return, etc. You're basically scoping your language learning to the most likely situations in which you might find yourself, which is a good predictor of the topics that might arise. And you can add new situations to expand your capacity. When studying new scenarios as "language packages," you will probably start to subconsciously pick up general patterns of syntax and grammar as well, which will make it that much easier to learn additional scenarios. Later on, memorizing words, reading about grammar, etc. will boost all of that knowledge you have obtained through conversation. In a way, you're turning the "traditional" language-learning model on its head by putting practice before theory. I see this as the pragmatic approach to learning a new language.

5:20 I do the same things you do with the new languages I learn. I write and learn sentences that I want to say - basic greetings, common phrases, as well as all of things that I need to say to describe who I am, for example: I am a polyglot. I love languages, I speak these languages, I am from the United States, I am a court interpreter, I enjoy doing this or that. I also learn all of the phonemes in the language. When I learned Italian, I was able to have an hour-long conversation on Italki after one week of studying. I had studied as much grammar as I could (the most important verb tenses, conjugations, pronouns, vocabulary, singular nouns, plural nouns and stuff you'd find in a grammar book) and was able to actually form my own sentences and talk about everything I was interested in. I told all of the teachers I spoke to I was a beginner and they said I was quite fluent and was by no means a beginner. I had just begun to learn the language, but I guess beginner is a level of proficiency and they thought I was beyond that. The fact that I am fluent in Spanish, French and Portuguese really helped. I learned as many cognates as I could and learned a ton of patterns that allowed me to guess the Italian word based on my knowledge of English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. With regard to phrases, I use them as the key to learning the language. That's how we learned our native language. We listened to the language for many years and memorized tons of sentences and patterns which allowed us to learn the grammar/structure of the language unconsciously. I use sentences to learn vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. In fact, I call them "vocabulary phrases," "grammar phrases" and "pronunciation phrases." I form sentences with the grammatical structures I want to internalize. I also write phrases with words that I need to practice pronouncing (often words that I need to say together so that I am able to improve my connected speech). I also write paragraphs related to various topics with the vocabulary. For example, I may use computer jargon: click and drag this file and place it into another folder. Then copy and paste this word into this or that document. I try to learn all of the most frequent phrases I use on a daily basis. I really like Quizlet for practicing my sentences. I always see if I can produce the sentence in the foreign language, instead of recognizing it. It's much easier to recognize than produce the sentence perfectly. I also use YouGlish to listen to all of the different pronunciations of certain words as well as the IPA symbols for the pronunciation. LingG is amazing because there is a ton of content with audio and text. I could go on and on. I blame you, lol. You're speaking my language (both literally and figuratively).

People need to understand, language is one thing, dialect is a whole other story.

Great post, this is what I discovered too, and what a time saver.

this is so good and useful

I love how he entertains people with different languages, he also buys their products. Just love the way he makes people happy.

I'm still trying to figure it out how I learned english to learn another language.

I think the interpersonal aspect is one of the biggest things people overlook in learning a language. You are attempting to make ideas in your head into vibrations you send through the air to them which they hear and interpret into ideas in their head. You are connecting with other people. There's an emotional aspect to that that helps give stronger validation and hardening of neural circuitry. Without experiencing others understanding what you are saying to them in another language you don't build any strong sense of knowing how to say anything to them. There's this beautiful sort of motivation and momentum that grows when others understand what you are saying to them in a language foreign to you. Those emotional bonds strengthen the memory of the spoken language. It's more than just a memory, its an embodied expression of ideas. Memorization is great in the short term, but the full expression and experience of the language better grounds the memory into long term memory.

I've been fortunate enough to be in situations where I've been able to struggle with learning languages and...I find that the best way is to just try doing it all the time. The native speakers are highly entertained and...almost always very helpful. It makes the whole experience SO much more memorable for everyone...and you learn SO much faster. Everyone else who was on the trip, who didn't try to be as courageous had WAY less fun.

Hey, great tips ! When I started learning English, I did like you said: I had to attend a job interview, I wrote down the possible questions and the answers to them in my mother tonque, then I had them translated in English by someone who spoke English fluently. I memorized the heck out of them and 2 days later off I went to the job interview. Got in, pressed the "Play" button and let it all out. Half way through my by-heart learned speech, the interviewer stopped me and asked me where I had studied English; I said "at home, by myself" (I failed to let him know that "at home" meant mostly while sitting on my toilet), he went "wow".....and then it happened what I felt most dreadful about: he asked me a question I had not "prepared" in advance.......that heavy silence that followed afterwards ? I still carry it with me today....I felt like a fraud......oddly enough, the interviewer liked me so I got the job, but I said to myself that never ever would I put myself in a position to be, feel or look like a fraud again. I have since learned how to say: "no, I do not know that" (doesn't matter which "that") and learned no to be afraid of admitting that I do not know things, without feeling stupid. So in a way, what happened then needed some sort of psychological self-healing and the way to do it was to stay true to who I was and who I was not. And this is what I tought our 12 year daugther to do: not to pretend to be who is not. Happy to report that apart from her mother tongue she is also fluent in French and English.

I think this guy got fluent by eating so much chinese food.

This was insanely helpful. I learn exactly the way you are speaking of, and trying to learn things the way it's written in textbook is aggravating lol. Granted, I don't have friends who speak Chinese, so that does make it a little more research-y, but I have found some channels on here that do a good job teaching sentence structure. One thing I worry about is whether or not what I'm learning is old school and not something people actually say in this day and age. Also, the app Drops does a great job as far as teaching you stroke pattern for words, so I'm using that for the written part. Always a joy watching your vids!

I find it extremely helpful to have someone to have proper conversations with in that language such as say watching tons of videos in french while learning french

What I learned here: This guy is smarter than me.

Hi Xiaoma, I'd love to see your list of phrases you learn for a 24hr language.

Thanks for the info we appreciate it!

Bless your heart for sharing! Thanks 🙂

Then there is me who can't even have a basic conversation on English.

Thank you for making videos like these. As an aspiring language learner (7 so far) it's quite motivating to have an honest monolouge like this explaining plainly the easygoing attitude one should probably have when approaching a learning experience such as this. I think what limits and discourages most people is that you end up taking a too serious and rigid approach to it. You end up having no fun at all during the process, making it more like a chore which is ultimately counterproductive.

That’s amazing, I am still learning English even so I been learning over 20years🙈 and I am not great in memorise however after watching you, you gave me in courage to keep it going on. You doing great and I agree that friends does helps a lot in learning different languages. Good luck and thanks for the video 🤗

Keep up the great work

Very logical & practical. Thank you.

I’ve been learning Spanish for 2 months now and I’ve learned so much and have been able to have conversation with people. I’m still surprised but I dedicated a lot of time to it and practice in my head whenever possible and by making my own sentences.

So basically you guess how a basic conversation flows and then you build on the simple things. Smart 👍

Having a child soon. She will learn English, and Spanish and ASL. And in high school I hope she decides to pick up Chinese and continue ASL. ❤️

This is some of the best advice I've heard for language learning. I'd also say. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Those embarrassing moments will stick with you and help you learn even faster.

xiaoma gracias por tus increíbles videos❤️

Totally just binged most of your videos... 😂❤️

I have a French test tomorrow and I’m going to fail 😎

Thank you so much ❤ I've never thought about 'learning language' in this way😭💜

i appreciate that you consider how certain things are more and less important to different people. thanks for the vid

Total immersion definitely helps. So does watching videos in the language, conversing with native speakers in that language - using it as much as possible all helps with learning & retaining what you’ve learned 😊

Do you realize your intelligence is higher than most?! I just found your videos today and I'm hooked!

Spot on and very helpful for a "newbie hacker" of mandarin. Thanx maan!

I really need this video, thanks you!
