  • One of the questions I get most often is how to start learning a language from scratch. In this video, I chose a language I had no prior knowledge of - Italian. My approach to learning a brand new language was to start by building a solid base vocabulary of about 1000 words. I wanted to do this as efficiently as possible so I decided to memorize an entire Italian UA-cam video in order to develop a very deep understanding of all the words and phrases contained in the video. This video is the first of a 3-part video series. Each video will detail my learning process over 2 weeks, which means this video series will cover a total of 6 weeks, in which I will attempt to build conversational fluency in Italian from absolute zero.

    The method
    1. choose 1 Italian video and memorise the first 10 minutes (or any language you’re learning)
    2. Once you memorise the video, use the same video in every exercise you do (shadowing,speaking, etc)
    3. Master verb conjugation from the same video (have a word document written of the video you are memorising)
    4. Start speaking to natives ( once you master the video content you have memorised and learnt what you’re talking about)
    The goal of this method:
    To become familiar with all the words from the video you are learning.
    His 4 steps to handle memorisation:
    1. Shadow the first 30 second section 10 times (try to say it with the exact pronunciation and accent)
    The purpose of this to get familiar with the overall meaning of the section in both English and your chosen language
    2. Repeat each line of the section for 1 minute each, after learning the lines go back to see if you remember the previous lines
    The purpose of this is by repeating each line makes the brain get familiar with what you’re saying and helps you memorise an entire line instead of individual words, this also helps with improving pronunciation and accent.
    3. Start from the beginning of the section and recite as much as you can remember. If you don’t remember the next line, look at it and restart the section again (do this until you can recite the whole 30 second without stopping)
    4. Recite the entire 30 second section 10 times from your memory and then move on the next section. Do this method until you have memorised the entire video you are Learning from

      @@mcmerry2846 what method would you suggest for rapid learning instead? I'm trying to learn Japanese, and I'm curious how learning something with a different writing system compares to learning European languages when one already knows the same letters. Perhaps a combination of rote memorization for spoken grammar balanced with equivalent writing and vocabulary learning for veryday situations? Using videos with bilingual subtitles? The latter would be tricky, as there can be localizations instead of rough translation for most subtitled videos.

    It sounds like you're boiling down a child's experience with learning their native language into a more repeatable and efficient format. So instead of hearing thousands of words hundreds of times in different context, you'd hear hundreds of words thousands of times in the same context...And you are able to look them up in your native language. That's such an efficient idea! There's so much reinforcement. And while having a large vocabulary is nice, most of us repeat the same shit all the time. Especially due to life having routines and such. But this way, you'd reinforce a modest variety of sentence structures into your mind as well. So this method sounds like it has the potential for giving anyone a VERY stable base to start from with a new language, and then they can go about continuing to build their vocabulary and grammar through interactions like anyone would naturally, as they did growing up with their native language. Great videos on this channel. I can't wait to see how far you go with these experiments.

    HOW TO LEARN ANY LANGUAGE IN 6 WEEKS
    (NOTES)
    WEEK 1
    - Memorize a 10 minute video in the language you want to learn
    5 steps to memorizing the 10 minute video
    Step 1
    Memorize the first 30 seconds of the video. Do this sentence by sentence. Pause the video after each sentence. And repeat the sentence out loud with the same pronunciation and accent as the speaker in the video. Repeat this exercise 10 times. The goal of this exercise is to learn and make sense of what they are saying.
    Step 2
    Repeat each sentence individually (from the 30 second segment) for 1 minute. After doing this for 4 different sentences, repeat all of them together for 1 minute.
    Step 3
    Start from the beginning of the 30 second segment, and recite as much of the section as you can remember. If you can’t remember the next line, look it up, and restart the section from the beginning. Continue reciting what you remember, until you miss another line. Repeat this process until you can speak the full 30 second segment, without stopping or forgetting any lines.
    Step 4
    Recite the entire 30 second section 10 times from memory. Then start this same 4 step process for the next 30 seconds of the video.
    Step 5
    Maintain what you have memorized by reciting the previously memorized sections 5 times before starting the next section.
    By the end you should know what each word and phrase means.
    WEEK 2
    4 Steps
    Step 1
    Write 2 paragraphs about 6 different topics
    Examples:
    - Your Career
    - Your Goals & Desires
    - Your love life
    - Entertainment that you enjoy
    - Your Hobbies
    - Food that you enjoy
    - Important people in your life
    Step 2
    Translate what you wrote to the language you’re learning with DeepL translator. And then memorize what you wrote each day using the same process you used in week 1.
    Step 3
    Create a list of individual words commonly used in conversation in any language (people, places, things, time, commonly asked questions, etc.)
    The goal is to build a base vocabulary of 1,000 words. This will allow you to start having conversations with native speakers in weeks 3 & 4.
    Doing all of this is for the sake of developing a very deep understanding of all the words and phrases that make up your Italian vocabulary.
    WEEK 3-6
    Speak with native speakers

    I know someone who did something similar to learn a base of Spanish, but she used songs. It worked so well for her that I’ve been using songs in the same way because I don’t get tired of listening to them dozens of times.
    But I also like the easy languages idea because songs sometimes take creative license with vocab and grammar so you don’t know if what they’re saying will truly be useful.
    Easy languages videos are a great idea because 1) transcripts / translations as you point out, 2) they interview a variety of native speakers so you can get used to how different people speak, 3) there’s a lot of repetition baked in because they ask the same questions to a bunch of people. I’ll try it!

The bigger problem with Italian is talking with natives because here we still make a strong use of dialects and slang. People from North of Italy struggle to understand people from the South and this is a great obstacle for foraigner.

    Great method!. The method you use is based on hardcore science and is absolutely effective. it's called: "Deep learning", or "Learn less but learn it better". It's highly effective because we can only be fluent or good in subjects/things that we dominate well or have a deep level of automaticity. I know this from experience, I had read hundreds, maybe thousands of pages in English but I couldn't speak fluently because I knew a lot of words but I didn't have enough sentences automated to be able to speak.

    For anyone trying this on your phone I recommend changing your double-tap playback settings to 5 seconds instead of the default 10 seconds, can do so by clicking your picture in the top right corner and go to general in your settings.

    This is excellent and a much awaited video - glad to see you back.
    I've been learning Mandarin for years and have a pretty large passive vocabulary but struggle to use it (as you say - 'a little time with a lot of vocabulary' rather than 'a lot of time with a little vocabulary'). I've long held to 'input is everything and it will just come out when you need it' but there's a danger that's too passive - your approach is much more active (and of course, tougher).
    I've been trying this out for the last few days and I'm a fan so far. Certainly much easier if starting from an otherwise intermediate base because there are less brand new words. A particular advantage with Mandarin is there are no word conjugations. Other than the characters (which are a slog to memorise at first but get easier as you know more), the main challenges are (1) tones, and (2) flexible sentence structure. Tones make this technique slightly harder but also even more useful since it helps fluency to chain tones together.
    One benefit of your technique is that it gives you a sense of achievement and confidence to be able to produce 30 second snippets of native content verbatim. This is important because language learning can be demoralising at times so having shortish deliverable objectives can build a sense of progress.

    At 2:46, you essentially describe Stephen Krashen's "comprehensible input" hypothesis wherein he states that language acquisition happens more effectively when one is gets immersed in streams of comprehensible input just like how a child would learn a native language. Also side-note, love what you're doing for the language community. I find your dedication and your realistic portrayal of language learning very very commendable

    Bro, this is such a great content! When I start learning Italian, I will def follow this exactly method and probably even use the same video you did.
    At the moment I am learning French and I will find a way to apply what you showed today as well as your French videos... tbh I have not been very consistent. I def like the idea of not studying grammar and verb conjugations for the same reason you explained, so I basically try to learn like a kid by being exposed to the content.
    Im from Brazil (so Portuguese is my native language), fluent in English from studying abroad and I also speak Spanish. Im learning French and knowing these other languages help so much... since it is more difficult than Italian (in my opinion), I prefer to learn first.

    Hi, I am your new subscriber and I just started to test your learning method on German, and I memorized about 18 seconds of video in 1 hour. (45 unique words). It is a very unorthodox approach, but I like that I can improve, my reading, listening, understanding, grammar, and speaking all in 1 place. After I memorized and recorded the audio I was trying to match the video's talk speed, I shortened it from 36seconds down to 30s. Not bad for the first, day. I also opened a text file and wrote everything in German from what I memorized. After I compared it with the original subtitles I only missed 2 letters. So I am happy with the result. Will see how much I will remember tomorrow morning. Thumbs up!
