Uh, NO - More like ... how to learn the bare minimum BASICS of any language in three months. You really can't learn a language in three months and expect to be fluent. What you'll get after three months is the bare-knuckle beginnings of fluency.
There no videos of him speaking the languages he is supposedly fluent in. Too many people claim to have a miracle methods, big claims require big proof.
Well the best way is to live in the country where that language is spoke, because you are forced to speak the language and you can hear that every day like you had done.
@ 4:59 ....!!! John is a......, Direct Object ? Indirect ? Oh no ..... Oh well, let's move on ... lol. Humble yourself. Languages are hard. Can't learn a language in 6 weeks. Big difference between being fluent, and being able to survive in a foreign country.
I'm really fascinated with all these polyglots on RU-vid, and I've watched a lot of these types of videos. The problem is that every time I come across one that claims he's learned my language in three months or so, his proficiency is mediocre at best. All the other languages he speaks sound great to me, of course, but I wonder if that is not simply because I can't possibly make a qualified judgment since I don't understand those languages. In my experience, learning a foreign language to a decent level of proficiency, where your vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and fluency are good, where you can understand subtleties of different kinds depending on the context and person you talk to, is a rather lengthy affair, certainly not three or six months. Are there any videos of Tim speaking Japanese? I actually have a way of telling how good he is.
2:15 i've used this naturally with learning english but i was afraid if i do it too many times i will mix words and stuff.. xD i might start to use it more often :D
This is basically a scam, don't fall for this click-baity advice. I've heard him speak spanish and chinese and it is not impressive, even his spanish (an "easy" language) is not good, not impressive in the slightest. Sorry for bursting your bubble, but this is a façade
He doesn't speak foreign languages that well. I love some of the ideas that Tim talks about, but I wouldn't go for his advice regarding language learning
This is my issue with this guy: He does stuff for points. He's not learning languages to enjoy it or understand a culture or to better himself. He's learning just enough so he can gain points and have people go "ooooh you speak 7 languages?". No, you don't. You just sound like you might be able to. What is the point of this? Life is not about achieving.
"In 8 weeks I reached the most fluent level in Spanish". This is the moment I switched off. Oh yeah sure, prove it fraud. Even if you were a freak who slept 0 hours a day, that would be too few hours by an order of magnitude.
I am struggling to understand why there's no sentences with a past perfect or past imperfect tense. Or a true future (several years down the line) instead of close future (tomorrow).
Simple answer: To be even slightly comprehensive of the major features of English grammar, he should use a list 5-10 times bigger. And up to x5 with other languages...
Pathetic. Just pathetic. I want 20 mins of my life back. “I have to” and “i have an apple” - have nothing to do with one another - ugh!!!! The first is a modal verb that helps create present perfect tense - IN ENGLISH ONLY. Other languages have completely different patterns to express same idea. The second indicates possession. Ugh!!!!!
The sentence list is missing use of adjectives. Some languages put the adjective before the noun and some put it after. There should be a sentence like "The red apple is mine"
It is also a gesture used to indicate a humble attitude about one's achievements, or even confusion at how one was able to achieve something great. You should know that scratching your ear has several possible meanings.
