My most controversial opinion : the most effective way to learn a language is use the method that requires the least effort and dedication

This is pretty straightforward: the most effective way to learn a language (given that you have a busy life) is the method that requires the least effort and most produces the most results in return. The reason why is because what it means is that: <br><br>1) You don't get tired of it<br><br>2) You get to the A1 to B2 levels just as quickly as the best methods out there, and from there on, you can just immerse yourself and that would be the most efficient way to get to native level speakers, at that point.<br><br>3) You don't need to be motivated to start, since most of these methods require just 15-30 minutes of studying a day, so you don't need a big motivation boost before you start.<br><br>4) You don't know how long it'll take to get to level B1 without immersing yourself, where on this method, it's guaranteed to take around 2 years. <br><br>5) You get to do the same things and enjoy the same activities you used to enjoy when you were a kid, just in another language (given that you're not older than 50)<br><br>And last but not least, the biggest proof this is right, is because the huge majority of polyglots out there have used this method, where they would only study and learn a language for 20-30 minutes a day, and then go on and immerse themselves in the target language as much as possible for the rest of the day.<br><br>If anyone wants to know what method I'm using, it's the lingoda method, and I use it with duolingo, and a language exchange partner.<br><br>Thank you for wasting your time, and I hope you have a nice day.
