& Part III here → • My Journey Learning *and becoming* It...
I think the way languages are taught in school is backwards to say the least. Very inefficient and demoralizing.
However, speaking a foreign language can be a really fun, exciting experience and a way to expand your world view. I wanted to both share how I approach language learning and also see how far I could push things in one week.

I'm just an Italian guy learning English watching a video of someone learning Italian...
-
When you said you were fluent on your resume and they ask if you can start on Monday
-
Nobody: Duolingo: The bird drinks an elephant.
-
you are the most italian-looking non-italian ive seen.
-
duolingo be like: "the boy eats an apple"
-
Duolingo got his family. That's why he learned so fast.
-
He had a really good strategy, but he wasn’t a beginner, this changes everything.
-
Duolingo be like : "My sister is a girl"

Short summary: Memorize top 1000 words, record yourself saying these words, combine words and create more advanced sentences, learn the most common verbs and important conjugation, watch movies/series or listen to music/podcasts and take notes so you can understand what the people are saying/singing.
-
1. Learn the 1,000 words. 2. Use it with a person who speaks Italian. 3. They respond with a bunch of words you do not know so quickly that you don't know where one word stops and the next begins. 4. Abandon all hope and go to Olive Garden for bread sticks.

OK NO JOKE I'M SEEING ALL THESE "DUOLINGO BE LIKE.." BUT I WAS USING DUOLINGO AND THEY LITERALLY ASKED ME TO TRANSLATE "The man wants to die because of his wife"
-
Nobody: DuoLingo: ‘gLi UoMiNi ScRiVoNo NeLlO zUcChErO’
-
"Yeah I know some basic words" Me: S P A G H E T T I
-
Duo threatened you, didn't it?
-
Pov : you are watching videos on how to learn Italian bc Damiano stole your heart ✨
-
I’ve been trying to learn Italian for a couple months now. I’m making progress,slowly but surely. The verb conjugation has been the hardest,but I’m not giving up!
-
L’italiano ha infiniti verbi e coniugazioni diverse e contorte, quando scoprirai il dialetto che cambia anche nel giro di 5km impazzirai. Nice job
-
A quick summary of this video: 1. Learn the top 1000 words for the language (use different methods: writing them all down and rereading again and again, record and listen to it again and again whilst doing another activity, associating the word with an action) 2. Learn most common verbs, tenses, their conjugation and connective words such as ‘on’ ‘and’ (try and understand the rules, and irregulars) 3. Try to immerse yourself in the culture by using technology to help you with your language learning (translate music, watch Netflix shows with subtitles, listen to radio stations and podcasts, read books)

That "click" is one of the most amazing feelings you can get, I've had it when I was learning English, it's like floodgates opening all at once. It's really hard to explain it but man, does it feel like you are on top of the world.
