If you don't learn your target language in 6 months, it's 100% your fault

Hey guys. Just a little rant. I'm getting sick and tired of people saying "yeah I've been trying to learn French for 8 years and I can't even hold a basic conversation" or "I've been trying to learn Spanish for 11 years and I still don't understand anything". You guys are doing something really, really wrong. I'm sorry but for a European the languages aren't even that different, so I can't imagine how you struggle so much.&#x200B;<br><br>I got a few formulas that help you learn a language super fast. <br><br>Step 1: Learn the grammar basics. This is like a brick wall between you and the language. You can't do anything without it. Learn the most common verb conjugations, tenses and cases (if your language has any). Don't struggle to much, grammar is better learned through practice. This should take you about a week or 2.<br><br>Step 2: Spend about 3 months doing apps and language learning software like Duolingo until you have a solid vocabulary of words in the target language. Even if you're someone who hates language learning apps, you have to do this because it helps you get used to the grammar and to the way the language is written. It's crucial.<br><br>Step 3: Once you have a basic vocabulary and you know most of the grammar rules, you can actually start practicing the language. Download a language learning app like HelloTalk or Tandem and just spam people until you find someone to talk to. Most people will be delighted to talk to you because you're a beginner and they love teaching. They'll also love the fact that they'll talk to a native English speaker. People who use these apps usually are either trying to learn English or already know English, so you'll have no problem finding someone. I swear to God, it's not that hard. I literally learned Czech by talking to a girl for 5 minutes each day on HelloTalk. <br><br>Step 4: You've learned most of the basic grammar and vocabulary rules, you know how to read and write the language and you're talking to a native speaker. Just from talking to them and asking them to correct you all the time, you should pick up on various nuances of the language. <br><br>Step 5: Watch 1 hour of TV or a movie every day in the target language. It's not that hard and it will help you get used to the sounds and the rhythm of the language and will allow you to pick up on various expressions that you wouldn't pick up from just talking to someone. <br><br>Step 6: If you get to this point and you still didn't learn the language, just give up. You won't learn it and there's something wrong with you. Go see a doctor.
