I made a post the other day and asked me a very interesting statement... He wants to learn the different types and paths of language learning there is...
And I am sure that many other people are interested...
So after some thinking here are the different paths They will :
1: Machine + You
Stats:
- % of population using: roughly 75%
- Average time to get conversational: 8-12 months
- Examples: Talkpal, ChatGPT, Duolingo, Busuu etc
- Language learning techniques used: nothing pretty much
2: Input + You
Stats:
- % of population using: roughly 30%
- Average time to go to conversational: 6-12 months
- Examples: Youtube, Podcasts, Movies, TV, Anki, Brainscape
- Language learning techniques used: Mirroring, shadowing, SRS,
3: Authentic Conversations + You
Stats:
- % of population using: 15%
- Average time to get conversational: 2-6 months
- Examples: Conversations, Calls, Authentic chat, video messages, voice messages, community
- Language learning techniques used: Sentences weaving, Storytelling, Mirroring, Advanced sentence weaving
MY GOAL for this community is to teach the 2nd and 3rd path
VERY SOON!!! I am launching something (for freeโค๏ธ) That will be a gamified fun version of the 3rd way and also if the classroom gets taken down for a bit don't worry I am creating some magic there
โผ๏ธIMPORTANTโผ๏ธ
All the time depends on consistency I am doing everything based on 20 minutes of practice a day
I use a combination of 2 and 3 and with that I am able to learn language in 2-4 months :)
PS: On our next weekly call (check the calendar its free as well) we will talk more about each techniques to learn and how to use them. Put it on your calendar!
