The speaker introduces a free, structured challenge for learning a language quickly and explains the overall framework. They emphasize that the method is intense but designed to work for many languages.
Speaker A
Hello beautiful people and welcome or welcome back to my channel.In today's video, I have a very interesting thing prepared for you and I'm going to start a challenge for you to learn to speak a language in a month.I'm going to give you the plan.Everything is going to be in this video included and for free.I'm not trying to sell you anything or any course and this video is not sponsored.
This is just for the fun of it because I think a lot of people get really confused on how to learn a language fast and I'm here to help.I am a polyglot and I also learned French in two months and I got a certificate.Blah, blah, blah.Here is my framework.As you can see, it's divided by weeks and everything else.
I'm going to tell you exactly and we're going to go through it to how to speak another language.Disclaimer this process is going to be fast but not easy.But this is a clear structure.I think this works for any language.I know it works for all the Latin based languages.
So here it is.
This section covers the preparation phase: choosing one target language, switching devices and media, and surrounding yourself with difficult input. The goal is to create an immersive environment before the challenge begins.
Speaker A
Step one, prep work.I need you to be doing a couple of things.Number one, pick one target language.If you want to learn a couple of languages at the same time, it is going to slow you down.Pick one target language and stick with it.Number two, devices, all of them in the target language.Number three, all the movies and films and videos and news and everything that you're ever going to encounter during the month should be either in or dubbed in your target language.I don't want you to watch one single piece of media like a movie that is not in your target language.All of them should only be in your target language.Included in this are all the books and the magazines that you want to read.If it's not in your target language, you can't read it.Not for this month.
If you don't listen to podcasts, you should start listening to podcasts and it should be in your target language.The level of the podcast and the book and the movies doesn't matter.It should be as high as possible.If you hate it to not understand anything, okay, you are a beginner and you're listening to C level podcast.That's completely fine, actually.That's what you should be doing.So everything should be leagues higher than your level of language.Now that we have the prep work done and you have all this stuff, you can actually start.
The speaker lays out the first two weeks, focusing on grammar study, essential vocabulary, verb conjugations, standardized tests, and correction cycles. The emphasis is on heavy input, note-taking, and identifying weaknesses through repeated testing.
Speaker A
The challenge starts as week one is your most important week.So in this week, because you're really high in motivation, you're gonna do something that is going to be quite taxing on your mental energy.Day one, I want you to read a book or watch a video about the full A1 grammar.The levels that I'm referring to are based on the CEFR European reference and a 1 is the beginner.
You find a video or you find a book, finish the book or finish the video.Day two is the same thing with A2 grammar.Day three and four are for B1 grammar.So by the end of day four, I want you to have finished watching and taking notes.Very important that take notes, write down the stuff that are important in a very short video that is going to explain to you in three hours the whole grammar of Spanish.
One video, majority of video is going to be important.So you are going to take a lot of notes.Keep those notes.Right now you're at day four and you have finished grammar A1 grammar.A2 grammar, B1.You still feel like you are not understanding anything and it has been held the past four days.That's a good sign.Now, for the rest of the week, day five, six and seven, I want you to learn 500 most essential words in your target language.Out of these 500 most essential words, you're going to make 100 sentences with the words.If it's a general language, include the article in the word when you are learning it.
On top of that, I want you to get the hundred most used verbs and I want you to conjugate them, write them down, write everything that I said.Download 100 verbs in all the times, in all the pronouns.This will be end of week one and this will be the time that I think 80% of people will stop learning the language because it's going to be very hard.Now remember that I said it's going to be fast, but it's not going to be easy if you're still here.That's great.
We are starting week two.Now remember that throughout the week, anytime you want to rest, you can only rest in your target language.So listening to podcasts on your commute in your target language, any movie, anything you want to see in your target language, doom scrolling in your target language, you need to search for example, cooking videos in Spanish and then you have to search that in TikTok or Instagram or wherever YouTube that you're watching in Spanish and you can only watch the videos that are in Spanish.If it's not Spanish and you want to learn Spanish, you have to scroll away.Now we're in week two.
What do you do?Number one thing you have to do as prep work for week two is to pick a standardized test.Now, a standardized test, usually best way to measure your ability in a language.You don't really have to do the official test if you don't care about the certificate, but you have to have a frame of reference.Especially if you're not working with a teacher and trying to do it on your own, you have to have a frame of reference.Day one, you do the test, time the test, try to do as much as you can do, and then correct your answers.This is very important.The correction should happen in the same day.The test that you're going to take is probably around B1, unless you were really fast the previous video.And if you watch the B2 grammar thing, then you can do the B2 test.
But if you haven't, just do the B1 test.You did the test and you did the correction.You're gonna see that there are so many areas that you really messed up.Write those down and then go back to the notes that you took in the first week and the next day.So like day two, you're going to relearn the topic, rewrite the conjugation.So, for example, say you were learning French and you forgot and you forgot how to write that.You go back to your notes, you read that, and you write them down again.You take 50 verbs and you conjugate for all of them.Regular and irregular verbs again.And then you go day three and you do another test with corrections.
And therefore you relearn the grammatic and also vocabulary that you wrote down wrong or you use the wrong meaning.Make sure that you correct your writing and your speaking.So record your voice with a timer and then get the transcript of that record and then correct that grammatically and by vocabulary.You can do this with a friend or a teacher or any other way.The point is that they all need to get corrected and you need to receive feedback from someone who is eligible.
This chapter shifts to internal fluency and active production, urging the learner to think only in the target language. It then moves into week three, where daily speaking practice, corrected transcripts, and essay-style writing build output skills.
Speaker A
Say, I want to learn French.Anytime I am thinking of something, anytime I am reading something, if I am daydreaming, even the voice in my head that reads out stuff for me should be in French.How do you do that?Start off by trying to think in French.And then anytime you don't know a word and you can only think of it in your native language, look that word up, translate it, and keep thinking in French.
If you are reading something in your native language and there's a voice in your head that is reading that thing for you, stop the voice, go back, translate it into French again.If you didn't know a word, look it up, Continue translation.This is specifically very hard and a lot of people will get so tired and not do this.But it's also the most important and the most beneficial thing that you could do for fluency ever in the history of ever.You need to think only in that language.
Only in that language and everything else should be translated to that language.Day five, six and seven.You cannot be thinking in any other language.
If you still haven't given up.And this is end of week two, because week three, the objective is to break the barrier between thinking and speaking.Every single day we're supposed to talk for five minutes without a break.You turn on the voice memo and you start speaking on a topic.These topics should not be a normal day topic.
There should be your opinions on food, your opinions on environment, on education, on politics, childcare, something that is actually discussed at higher levels.Because by this time in three weeks, you can talk about your daily life, but you can't talk about the environmental impacts of waste in ocean.That's what you need to be talking about.You need to be looking for topics that are at the same level and the same areas of the test that you've done.You need to be talking about those.
Now, the first time that you do this, you're going to see that you have so many filler words and very long pauses and that's normal.But what you need to do is you need to get the transcript of the audio and you need to get it corrected when you got it corrected, highlight your mistakes in the transcription and fix it.Write it down either on paper or on text.But you have to write them down and then read them out loud.Every day for the third week, you need to do that five minutes of talking.
However, on day four and day five, you need to do another test and relearn thing.So you do the test and check it on day four and you relearn the grammatical topic.Also, the vocabularies on day five, day six and day seven are only for you to write.What you need to do is that you need to pick a topic again, like the speaking topics cannot be an easy topic.It has to be an actual important, impactful topic of nowadays you pick the topic.
This is day six, you're going to be writing as much as you can possibly around 5 to 600 words.If it's less than 300, keep writing.If it's less than 400, keep writing.If you think you have no idea.Keep writing.
Structure of the writing should be in the form of an essay.If you don't know how to write an essay, you have never written an essay.Go look it up.But day six and day seven, you have to be writing.Don't time it, but check the word count.
After that you need to correct it.
The last section covers week four, including timed tests, speaking recordings, review sessions, a monolingual day, and the final assessment. The speaker closes with encouragement, reflections on language learning, and a farewell.
Speaker A
Shenanigans.Congratulations.You are now at week four of the challenge.This week is about showtime.The goal is is to do a test.At the end of the week.You could pick another standardized test to do it, whatever the goal is for you.But I'm just picking standardized test because that makes the most sense to me personally.Goal is at day seven, whatever the goal is.On day one, you are going to do a time test with corrections.In this week, you are not going to relearn the grammatical topics anymore, but you will correct them and you will write down the corrected version of your mistakes.Day two, you're going to do a 15 minute presentation recording yourself.Then you're going to get the transcript of that said recording and you're going to correct it.Topic could be a topic that interests you, but it cannot be an everyday topic.
You could, for example, talk about music or art.You could talk about sports and health if that's what's interesting to you.But it cannot be your everyday life.That's not the goal.On day three, you're going to go back to your old notes and you're going to review the topics that you've already relearned and then page through the other topics.Say you have 20 pages of grammatical notes that you've taken during the first week.You're going to restudy those.That's all that you're going to do for day three.Day four is your second timed test, plus its correction, all four parts naturally, also speaking and writing.And you're going to correct the whole thing and you're going to see how you did.Day six is a monolingual day.
On day six, you are not allowed to engage in any conversation that involves any language other than your target language.So it's basically like a meditation kind of thing.If you live in a country where your target language is not spoken, pick a day that's like a holiday, like Sunday.And don't talk to anyone unless they're talking in that target language.Don't listen to anything unless it's spoken in that target language.Don't read anything unless in that target language.Don't communicate unless in that target language.Day six, the day before the exam is your Monolingual day, you're only going to be listening, reading and learning in that language.Whatever you do, if you want to rest, whatever it is, nothing but your target language.And last day, you have finally arrived your destination.
You can do a test on paper or you can do a test online.You can go talk to native speakers.You can do a what's my level in this language?Online tests, which are sometimes not really accurate, but you could do that.And you could also do a video where you talk about what you like and what you don't like and your interest or anything that you want to say.
And I suggest that you do a video before you start this challenge and you do a video at the last day of the challenge.After 30 days, you will see what you have achieved in only 30 days and how much you can actually speed.I personally believe that anyone who has already learned a language at a native level can learn another language.And I also believe that it's completely possible to speak a language really fast, contrary to what a lot of people say, of course, some people have just more of a natural talent for languages than some others.But there is no way that if you don't give up on a challenge like this and you actually do it for the whole 30 days without cheating, that you won't get the results that you're looking for.
Maybe you will not be advanced, but you will definitely be an intermediate speaker.And that just goes to show that a lot of things that people think are impossible are possible.They just take a huge amount of willpower and dedication, but it's not impossible.So that was the point of this video.And if you decide to do this, and if you can, I really suggest to do it.I think it's going to be so much fun.Very challenging, but also very fun.And if you decide to do it, let me know.And I will probably do something similar, not as intensive, but similar to this myself.So stay tuned and I'll see you later.
Love you.Bye bye.
