Use your new language as a tool to communicqte ... from Day 1

When you first UNDERSTAND the MESSAGE you will unconsciously ACQUIRE the language

Language learning is NOT ABOUT accumulating KNOWLEDGE, in many ways it's about PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAINING

We have filters in our brain, which filter in the sounds that we are familiar with and out the sounds of languages that we're not ("English deaf") --- If you can't hear it, you won't understand it, if you can't understand it, you're not gonna learn it

You've got 43 muscles in your face, you have to coordinate those in a way that it makes sounds, which other people will understand

If you're upset, sad, angry, irritated, you're not gonna learn anything, If you're happy, relaxed, in an Alpha brain state, curious, you're gonna learn really quickly

You need to be tolerant of ambiguity. If you're one of those people who needs to understand 100 percent, every word you're hearing, you will go nuts, because you'll incredibly upset all the time, you're not perfect. If you're comfortable with getting some, not getting some, just paying attention to what you do understand, you're gonna be fine, relaxed and you'll be learning quickly.

brain soaking - If you put yourself in a context, and you hear tons and tons of a language, and it doesn't matter if you understand it or not. You're listening to the rhythm, to patterns that repeat

Start mixing (if you've got 10 verbs, 10 nouns, 10 adjectives, you can say 1000 different things)

Focus on the core (learn high frequency language first, in English 3000 words give 98% "Coverage" in a daily conversation)

Get a language parent (teacher, parent, etc. who would be patient enough - so you get a safe environment for learning)
