I just started the 15/30/15 method this week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) the way you showed here to improve my French : 15 in the morning, 30 after lunch and 15 after dinner. It feels so good and keeps me very excited to learn. Thank you again!.
@@diloromkubayeva6561 i feel comfortable using past, present and future simple. I can watch clips from French series, making my own sentences..still increasing my vocabulary.
OMG. I WISHED I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS EARLIER😭😭😭 It really sucks when you want to keep learning but feels like you're not progressing making you more unmotivated. I can just break my learning time into chunks and doesn't have to sit and learn like 1 hour straight or more. Thank you for this information! I'm grateful UA-cam recommended your video.
Oh wow, I am doing better then I thought I have been learning French for 6 months 3 hours every day. I do a lot of it while I do my makeup everyday which takes me 1.5 hours to do. It is quite easy to learn while doing my makeup and bonus I am looking in the mirror so I can see myself speaking in French
Alex, thanks for sharing your method of language learning: 15, 30 15! I’m also a polyglot and now, I’m preparing my first multilingual video. If you (Alex and audience) wish, I could post it here! Greetings from a Bulgarian polyglot speaking 12,5 languages.
Гениально! Просто гениально. Честно мне кажется, что все советы Алекса не только применяются в изучении иностранных языков, но и в жизни. Я бы сказал, что Алекс мог бы полноценно читать лекции в области тайм менеджмента. Алекс, спасибо за материал, было очень позновательно
hi Alex. I do find this video very helpful in smoothing my nerves lol. I always feel like I barely do anything within 30 mins so I often overload myself. but I've come to realize that's opposite the of science!
Muy interesante lo haré con el italiano, tengo una base, pero quiero mejorarlo. Lo venía haciendo no con esta combinación de tiempos, pero si cuando lavo los platos, limpio la casa escucho videos en italiano, este método me gusta porque lleva más disciplina y puedo ir organizando los temas. Está genial porque los idiomas se aprenden eso con constancia y en contacto de forma natural, todos los días hacer algo, no con solo clases dos o tres veces por semana o como una obligación, sino como una actividad natural, así como hemos aprendido nuestro idioma. Great method I am sure that must work It...BEST wishes, Thanks Alex for this info, cheers❤🎉
It’s always a pleasure to watch your vlogs Alex. One thing I would enjoy watching you discuss is the, excuse the expression, fickle nature that plagues some linguists. We are really spoilt for choice when it comes to languages and I wonder if there is a ‘strategy’ you could suggest that would assist in narrowing down, by process of elimination, the languages we commit to learning on a long term basis. It is very easy to lose interest in a language when the pull of another one veers us off course.
I definitely suffer from this too. I have now settled on three languages that I absolutely love, but it is still a problem. As soon as I start putting some effort into one of those languages I start wishing that I was working on one of the others. I drive myself mad with this.
Excellent tips! make more videos... about your language skills, and how you study with other materials... and PLEASE make video of how you mix with other methods... and you work on your pronunciation, etc, etc...
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.
Super late to this. But Neri has card decks on Anki which have been amazing, especially when combined with audio. But his free decks are 3100 unique sentences. His paid part 3 is 61,000+ with each section containing around 11,000+ cards. They're in sentence format (2 word, 3, 4, all the way to 9). It's pretty incredible

i try in head translation but it's slow... something i dont recall the meaning to a word instantly... why? how do i get the meaning to be recalled instantly?
Hmmm I study every day on week days for 4 hours - 4: 30 mins and on weekend I do 6-7 hours I do It every single day, Like ive done it every day for now 2 months and 2 1/2 weeks . Im 12 so I have no life >-< Edit: Im learning Japanese which takes the 2nd most time to learn and the 2nd most hard so yea I need to do it for more :D
Don't push too hard on yourself, I'm studying Japanese since I'm 15, I'm 25 now and I'm still learning. If you study too much of it, first you won't be able to recall everything of what you've learned before, second, you are prone to burning out and get into a slump that will drain all your motivation. I know that because I did the same as you are currently doing. So be aware of that and don't forget to take breaks, your brain will thank you.
I wish he came back to youtube… see how he’s doing and what languages he is studying now, and what his level of each of them actually is (like Hungarian, French or German) :((
Nice, you're starting to learn Korean? Are you learning the writing systems of Asian languages, too? A video about how you manage to keep all of your learned languages "alive" would be most interesting! Please :)
Ive just started learning Swedish, after watching this and a few other content creators its clear that consistency is the key when learning a language, so it doesnt always matter so much how or what your learning from as long as your brain has something to process progression will happen thank you for sharing this
I'm doing a mix of things, I don't really have a set routine though to be honest Duilingo, watching Swedish films and shows (I made a playlist ill link it), there is a great youtube channel called "say it Swedish" he has all sorts of easy to follow videos, I also bought some books "essential Swedish grammar" and "from English to Swedish 1", I also have a specific notebook that I use to write new words, practice or just write down anything I find interesting about the language or culture
You are a great person ya know, I'm proud of meeting you accidentally on UA-cam and it will give me a perfect opportunity to follow your instructions, the tips you're giving off and all your sweet gestures 🙈I saw you yesterday on UA-cam while searching for ways to learn El Català cuz I'm in love with Catalunya and I actually started learning it in November, 2019 but I couldn't spend much time with learning it cuz I'm a medical student. But umm I really love the important thing about you: Learning language not bc it's more common or not bc there's a large population to speak with. You value the language for its own sincerity and that's a great way that ur also trying to raise the value of languages which are in danger of progresing gettin' lost. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I FIND YOU VERY SEXY WHEN YOU SPEAK EN CATALÀ Realment em perdo la ment quan veig que parles en català😍 Vull que facis més vídeos en català. Salutacions d’un kurd🤗😘
Thank you so much for your routine I definitely will try it out .. I wanted to ask if we should review what we learned in the whole week maybe at the weekend or something like that or the review study review method will be enough with no need to add a revision ritual every once in a while or we should add it to the first review of the method I really hope that my question was clear and that you will answer me Once more thank you so much for your amazing routine
Hi Alex, Just discovered your channel and really love the content. Thank you! Quick question, how much progress would you say the average learner could make with following this method for 5 days per week? I'm looking to get to basic utility in Hungarian, at a level where I can ask for basic things, understand simple conversations, greetings etc and learn some essential 'phrasebook' type phrases ahead of a trip to Budapest to meet some Hungarian friends and relatives. I appreciate this is a vague question and might have a 'how long is a piece of string' type answer but any rules of thumb or ballpark rates of learning you could share would be really valuable.
having commitment is the most important thing in language learning. If a person is lazy and doesnt have commitment, they can not even do this easy plan
This is a great tip, Alex! I'm going to start implementing this 15-30-15 routine right away! What about if you are studying more than one language, though? I guess the whole hour should be dedicated to just one language, right? For me, I have one intermediate language (Czech) which I would like to try this routine on, but I have 1 more upper intermediate language (Spanish) and 2 advanced ones (French/Russian) that I need to maintain. To be honest, the 2 advanced ones I can kind of keep ticking over by watching/reading things. But there's the upper intermediate one that gets rusty very easily.
I'm studying 3 languages. Honestly my advice (take it with a grain of salt, everyone is different) is to keep the languages separate and ignore this guy's method. Why read a French book for 15 minutes then put it down and do 15 minutes of Czech? Seems crazy and disorganized. Maybe it will work for you, but I know that I don't progress much when I chop up my study time.
Rady, jak udržet více jazyků naživu, dává i polyglot Lydia Machová z Jazykového mentoringu. Ona doporučuje studovat jen jeden jazyk na plynnou úroveň. A pak ho podle plánu nenáročně udržovat a jít studovat další jazyk.
I heard of you from Olly Richards so I was quite curious to see the kinid of advice you give. I must admit my initial reaction when you explained that you split an hour each day 3 ways was that although yes you will progress (say by a centimetre) and after 100 days that would be a metre (metaphorically speaking) and let's say to be conversationally fluent is a kilometre, it's going to take a hell of a long time to get far in a language within a year. With a language like Japanese for example there are two main things to learn: the joyou kanji and vocabulary. So would we spend the first 15 minutes split 5 minutes for some kanji review and then 10 minutes in a review activity, then 30 minutes split 10 minutes for kanji and 20 minutes studying japanese, and then the final 15 minutes reviewing the lunch time study? It would take at least a year just to be able to recognise and write the 2200 kanji at that rate whereas if I studied more hours in a day I could get through the kanji within 3-5 months (or quicker) and therefore the rest of that time would be spent actively reading things in kanji. Overall let me clarify my point: I agree that "progress" will be made but I honestly believe it will be actually boring to study that little because in 3 or 4 days of study you barely know more than you did 3 or 4 days ago and that would be demotivating or frustrating (at least for me). Let's say I'm a total beginner. Within 3 months (depending on the language) I would aim to get to about A2 level because at that point I could potentially reduce the number of hours of study per day to 1 or 2 and then just give it time. When you're starting in a language, there is so much to cover and because we tend to be motivated and excited to learn what we don't know it becomes easy to learn new things and so progress can be really fast. We should ride that wave as far as it takes us while trying to implement good study habits.
I noticed this as well. It's also kind of a red flag that he even used Rosetta Stone as an example. But, that's besides the point. I think this video is meant for more casual language learners. Not only is progress extremely slow, but this method also seems to hurt concentration as well. My brain would be scattered in the 15 min parts. Plus, it doesn't really work with 3 languages. I do french 2 hours when I wake up, Kanji an hour-1.5 hours after breakfast, and Spanish/Japanese immersion scattered throughout the rest of the day. I'd say I probably get in about 5 hours of language learning in a day in languages where I am at different levels. Because my focus is on French, I have made tremendous progress, but it can be confusing since I've just started 3 months ago. It takes concentration to understand things. 15 minutes in the most important times of the day just won't do. My Spanish is much better so I don't actively study it, but I still tend to spend at least an hour on it a day. If you're actively studying a language, you need to spend more than an hour to make serious progress. At least an hour for passive progress. But that's if you have time, as well.
I think you’re not the expected public for this video. A busy person who works and has other responsibilities (and hopefully other hobbies too!) besides language learning, is obviously not aiming to devote 5 hours a day to language learning. People who join standarised language courses progress as slowly as 1 european framework level per year! I know, to you learning a language in 6 years might be excruciating… but I can tell you it is a perfectly reasonable rate for many people!! Slow but steady usually makes for better learning in general, and even more for languages. I have just started with Russian a week ago and since I’m on holidays, I feel like in this month I’ll be able to achieve the A1, roughly. But once I’m back to work, I’ll give a try to the schedule recommended in this video. Between grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, commute, full time job, socialising, gym, caring for my pets, drawing, studying a phd on the side… more than this will be impossible, honestly. I don’t want to become a professional translator, I don’t need a C2 in 2 years, I’ll be happy with a C1 in 7 years. I already am at C2 level in 4 languages, no need to add pressure to something that I do for joy
Obviously when you start learning a new language on day 1 you have nothing to review. In this case it must be in this order : 30 minutes learning ( when ? ), 15 minutes reviewing and again 15 minutes reviewing . On day 2 you can start your day with a 15 review lesson. Problem, first lessons are very short and to spend one hour to learn 4,5 phrases can be a little boring. Fifteen minutes to drink a coffee ! It must be cold .
Hi Alex, thank your for your clear suggestions! I have a question as an English and Spanish learner : Is it possible to follow this routine for 2 different languages at the same time?
I think that you gatta divide that time for wacht language to not mix up languages. For example at morning 15 mins for English then 15 mins for German at midday 30 for English and 30 mins for German
I am searching for a Portuguese speaker, that would be interested to interact with me. My goal is to be able to speak in Portuguese by the end of this summer, because I am planning to move to Portugal. 😊
Can you apply this method for multiple languages throughout the day or is this method better for just one language? E.g. 15 mins language A, 30 mins language B, 15 mins language C
15/30/15 is already incredibly slow with 1 language. Depends on how long you want to spend on these languages. Many polyglots I have seen agree that you can't learn a language in 15 minutes a day. I'm learning 3 languages and this would never work for my schedule. If you don't have enough time to spend at least 1 hour on each, it would be better to put some languages aside. But that's just my opinion. Everyone's brain works differently and this could work for you. Just experiment and see.
@@athenagreen5390 I agree, try reading 3 books - fifteen minutes a day each, watch yourself confuse yourself. I think 2 hours minimum and more if possible.
I just started the 15/30/15 method this week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) the way you showed here to improve my French : 15 in the morning, 30 after lunch and 15 after dinner. It feels so good and keeps me very excited to learn. Thank you again!.

OMG. I WISHED I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS EARLIER😭😭😭 It really sucks when you want to keep learning but feels like you're not progressing making you more unmotivated. I can just break my learning time into chunks and doesn't have to sit and learn like 1 hour straight or more. Thank you for this information! I'm grateful UA-cam recommended your video.
Committing to daily study is a challenge in itself!
Oh wow, I am doing better then I thought I have been learning French for 6 months 3 hours every day. I do a lot of it while I do my makeup everyday which takes me 1.5 hours to do. It is quite easy to learn while doing my makeup and bonus I am looking in the mirror so I can see myself speaking in French
How has doing it for 3hrs been for u & what is ur learning style/how do u choose to learn it?
This is one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard for learning a new language, and I’ve heard many. Thank you for the routine.
Nice video. I personally love language learning so much, that I always study at least for 45mins before having a break.

And what order is that??? Just think they may well be already in order. 👍 😂😂
That balcony looks great for reading and enjoying coffee! Thanks for sharing!
This literally perfect!! I´ve always wanted to study for an hour but I usually don´t have the time, I´d never come up with this. Thank you!
I can assure you that you have an hour
This is such a useful tip! Especially on days when you don't have time to sit down for a "full" study session!

Thanks for the video. I like the format but I was hoping you’d share what we should be focusing on? Grammar, vocab, speaking practice, reading etc ?
It’s always a pleasure to watch your vlogs Alex. One thing I would enjoy watching you discuss is the, excuse the expression, fickle nature that plagues some linguists. We are really spoilt for choice when it comes to languages and I wonder if there is a ‘strategy’ you could suggest that would assist in narrowing down, by process of elimination, the languages we commit to learning on a long term basis. It is very easy to lose interest in a language when the pull of another one veers us off course.

I stumbled into " broken up times" on my own but this perfects the pattern and gives me a "flow." THANKS!!
What a great video with an awesome training method :) Small criticism: The Music sounds like something you can torture with!

It is for 4 skills &gram, vocal

Why read a French book for 15 minutes then put it down and do 15 minutes of Czech? Seems crazy and disorganized. Maybe it will work for you, but I know that I don't progress much when I chop up my study time.
Rady, jak udržet více jazyků naživu, dává i polyglot Lydia Machová z Jazykového mentoringu.
Ona doporučuje studovat jen jeden jazyk na plynnou úroveň. A pak ho podle plánu nenáročně udržovat a jít studovat další jazyk.
I heard of you from Olly Richards so I was quite curious to see the kinid of advice you give. I must admit my initial reaction when you explained that you split an hour each day 3 ways was that although yes you will progress (say by a centimetre) and after 100 days that would be a metre (metaphorically speaking) and let's say to be conversationally fluent is a kilometre, it's going to take a hell of a long time to get far in a language within a year. With a language like Japanese for example there are two main things to learn: the joyou kanji and vocabulary. So would we spend the first 15 minutes split 5 minutes for some kanji review and then 10 minutes in a review activity, then 30 minutes split 10 minutes for kanji and 20 minutes studying japanese, and then the final 15 minutes reviewing the lunch time study? It would take at least a year just to be able to recognise and write the 2200 kanji at that rate whereas if I studied more hours in a day I could get through the kanji within 3-5 months (or quicker) and therefore the rest of that time would be spent actively reading things in kanji.
Overall let me clarify my point: I agree that "progress" will be made but I honestly believe it will be actually boring to study that little because in 3 or 4 days of study you barely know more than you did 3 or 4 days ago and that would be demotivating or frustrating (at least for me). Let's say I'm a total beginner. Within 3 months (depending on the language) I would aim to get to about A2 level because at that point I could potentially reduce the number of hours of study per day to 1 or 2 and then just give it time. When you're starting in a language, there is so much to cover and because we tend to be motivated and excited to learn what we don't know it becomes easy to learn new things and so progress can be really fast. We should ride that wave as far as it takes us while trying to implement good study habits.
I noticed this as well. It's also kind of a red flag that he even used Rosetta Stone as an example. But, that's besides the point. I think this video is meant for more casual language learners. Not only is progress extremely slow, but this method also seems to hurt concentration as well. My brain would be scattered in the 15 min parts. Plus, it doesn't really work with 3 languages. I do french 2 hours when I wake up, Kanji an hour-1.5 hours after breakfast, and Spanish/Japanese immersion scattered throughout the rest of the day. I'd say I probably get in about 5 hours of language learning in a day in languages where I am at different levels. Because my focus is on French, I have made tremendous progress, but it can be confusing since I've just started 3 months ago. It takes concentration to understand things. 15 minutes in the most important times of the day just won't do. My Spanish is much better so I don't actively study it, but I still tend to spend at least an hour on it a day. If you're actively studying a language, you need to spend more than an hour to make serious progress. At least an hour for passive progress. But that's if you have time, as well.
Are you a student? This is okay for people at work.
I think you’re not the expected public for this video. A busy person who works and has other responsibilities (and hopefully other hobbies too!) besides language learning, is obviously not aiming to devote 5 hours a day to language learning. People who join standarised language courses progress as slowly as 1 european framework level per year! I know, to you learning a language in 6 years might be excruciating… but I can tell you it is a perfectly reasonable rate for many people!! Slow but steady usually makes for better learning in general, and even more for languages. I have just started with Russian a week ago and since I’m on holidays, I feel like in this month I’ll be able to achieve the A1, roughly. But once I’m back to work, I’ll give a try to the schedule recommended in this video. Between grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, commute, full time job, socialising, gym, caring for my pets, drawing, studying a phd on the side… more than this will be impossible, honestly. I don’t want to become a professional translator, I don’t need a C2 in 2 years, I’ll be happy with a C1 in 7 years. I already am at C2 level in 4 languages, no need to add pressure to something that I do for joy
Obviously when you start learning a new language on day 1 you have nothing to review. In this case it must be in this order : 30 minutes learning ( when ? ), 15 minutes reviewing and again 15 minutes reviewing . On day 2 you can start your day with a 15 review lesson. Problem, first lessons are very short and to spend one hour to learn 4,5 phrases can be a little boring.
Fifteen minutes to drink a coffee ! It must be cold .
Hi Alex, thank your for your clear suggestions! I have a question as an English and Spanish learner : Is it possible to follow this routine for 2 different languages at the same time?
I think that you gatta divide that time for wacht language to not mix up languages. For example at morning 15 mins for English then 15 mins for German at midday 30 for English and 30 mins for German

I've been learning English for two years on my own, but I can't getting better. :(
I want to learn english and accent like you have
ahhh I can tell from the doors (well and the language XD) that the scene was in Spain
I am searching for a Portuguese speaker, that would be interested to interact with me. My goal is to be able to speak in Portuguese by the end of this summer, because I am planning to move to Portugal. 😊
Portuguese is my native language, I am here to learn English
I love the technique you introduced 🧚
I am going to start it right away 👣😉
Thanks
How about 2 languages bro at the same time!!❤
Hi I am a new member on your channel,I love languages and it is hard to me to find a channel about languages and not to subscribe
You use Rosetta Stone?
Ok but what should I study on these 30 minutes? What methods should I use?
thank you!!
Top Video 👍
Can you apply this method for multiple languages throughout the day or is this method better for just one language?
E.g. 15 mins language A, 30 mins language B, 15 mins language C
15/30/15 is already incredibly slow with 1 language. Depends on how long you want to spend on these languages. Many polyglots I have seen agree that you can't learn a language in 15 minutes a day. I'm learning 3 languages and this would never work for my schedule. If you don't have enough time to spend at least 1 hour on each, it would be better to put some languages aside. But that's just my opinion. Everyone's brain works differently and this could work for you. Just experiment and see.
@@athenagreen5390 I agree, try reading 3 books - fifteen minutes a day each, watch yourself confuse yourself. I think 2 hours minimum and more if possible.
And when you learn more than one language?
How much 30 minutes classes ?
Que quiere decir esto en español?
well that sunds interesting
How to go from intermediate to advance level in English?
