  • Hi everyone, my name is Brian Kwong and

  • This video is aboutHow to learn any language in 3 Months

  • you can watch me implement this blueprint during my

  • Learn German in 3 Months Challenge”.

  • So Why learn a new language?

  • Maybe you want to travel the world or move to a new country

  • Or maybe you want to get lucky with an opposite sex who speaks a different language.

  • I love you Julia.

  • Can I rub my face in your boobs?

  • Learning a new language will open up a whole new world for us.

  • And there are many way to learn a new language,

  • but here is the best way to learn a language in 3 months that I found. There are many ways

  • to do this

  • And I had broken it down into 3 simple parts:

  • Overall strategy

  • Da GamePlan

  • And The Resources you need to make this happen.

  • You Ready? Lets go.

  • Part 1, the Overall strategy

  • We gotta use the Right resources to do two things everyday

  • Learn and Memorize phrases and words.

  • Practice speaking the language with native speakers.

  • Simple enough right?

  • Using the right resource will make it a lot easier and thats the key, we will cover that

  • in a minute.

  • Part 2, the Gameplan:

  • Milestone 1,

  • The first thing we got to do is to practice speaking the language with a private tutor

  • or native speaker who is willing spend time and break down the language with you.

  • Having a 1 on 1 tutor is much better than learning in a class

  • because it is very easy to be lazy and not be an active learner.

  • The second thing we gotta do is to

  • Learn and memorize 30 phrases and vocab everyday

  • by using your memorization software.

  • Why 30?

  • because by the end the 90 days, we will have 3000 words under our belt,

  • which means we will know approx 80% of most common words used in a language.

  • That is why we are shooting for 30 per day.

  • And the last thing is, we add words and phrases that we want to learn into our memorization

  • software

  • Milestone 2, Day 31-60

  • This is when we can have basic conversations with people, so we gotta expose ourselves

  • to the new language as much as possible.

  • So we gotta go out there to find new language partners.

  • And we got to start to build the habit of thinking in the new language.

  • Thats milestone #2

  • Milestone 3 is when we goYea, I think I am getting this!”

  • We gotta fine language partners and find new friends who can speak the language.

  • And we can start watching TV, DVD or listen to radio

  • Its ok if we dont understand in the beginning, because its harder to understand a movie compare

  • to when we are having a conservation

  • And thats the game plan.

  • The Resource is really what make this whole thing click and

  • it will save you a plenty time and make it a whole lot easier when you are implementing

  • this.

  • We need 4 Essential Tools:

  • The first one is a Grammar book

  • use the Dover Essential Series, its easy and simple to use and its only 6 bucks on Amazon.

  • #2 is the Phrase book, this is where we get the phrases in the beginning in our memorization

  • software

  • Any phrase will work and you can try the Lonely planet

  • #3 you need an online dictionary

  • #4 is the Memorization software

  • Lets face it, memorizing things is a pain in the butt

  • but it is 50% of the game and it will help you get what you learned

  • into your long term memory.

  • So having the most effective and easy to use memorization software is the key to this whole

  • thing.

  • If you have a PC, you can try Anki.

  • If you have a Mac, you can try Genius,

  • I tried it, it works like a charm for memorizing and it is really why i can see myself doing

  • this challenge only after using this software.

  • I love it so much, I am even developing an app call Genius+ for the iPad and iPhone,

  • And thats all the tools that you need.

  • Finally, lets talk about how to find private tutor and language partners because thats

  • the other 50% of the game.

  • Now for private tutor, you can try Craiglist to see how much it cost in your area.

  • If you have a tight budget, you can try Edufire.com, but remember skip the group class.

  • For Language partners - You can try the mixxer.

  • Its a site that allows you to connect with language partners all over the world via skype.

  • You can also try couchsurfing and the meetup.com

  • So now thats the blueprint of How to learn any language in 3 Months.

  • all we gotta to do is to make it happen!

  • The cool thing is you can follow along while I am doing this challenge.

  • So if you like this video, like it, share it with your friends and subscribe to my challenge.

  • If you want to beta test Genius+ when its ready on the iPad, you can sign up for free

  • with the this link below this video.

  • Lastly, I want to hear from you , what language do you want to learn and why?

  • AND if you are thinking about taking this challenge on with me, also let me know

  • in the comments area.
