Daily Study Routine for Learning a Language - 15/30/15 method 

I just started the 15/30/15 method this week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) the way you showed here to improve my French : 15 in the morning, 30 after lunch and 15 after dinner. It feels so good and keeps me very excited to learn. Thank you again!.

Alex sharing language learning gold as usual

Committing to daily study is a challenge in itself!

OMG. I WISHED I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS EARLIER😭😭😭 It really sucks when you want to keep learning but feels like you're not progressing making you more unmotivated. I can just break my learning time into chunks and doesn't have to sit and learn like 1 hour straight or more. Thank you for this information! I'm grateful RU-vid recommended your video.

This is gold. Awesome channel

It made me so happy to see La plaça del diamant in your bookshelf!

That balcony looks great for reading and enjoying coffee! Thanks for sharing!

Yeayyy finally, i found a perfect languange study routine for me, thank you Alex!

This is such a useful tip! Especially on days when you don't have time to sit down for a "full" study session!

I bought your book a long time ago! I will be reading this week! thank you! for your tips!

I love your videos, Alex! You're such an inspiration for me!

Thanks for sharing your experience and technique with us

Thanks for this tip. I will start using this technique today.

I stumbled into " broken up times" on my own but this perfects the pattern and gives me a "flow." THANKS!!

I needed this advice,thanks

Thanks Alex. I'm going to try this new strategy of 15/30/15 to change things up.

thats a very simple and effective approach Thank you just think about implementing it into to my Psychology Exam prep

Thanks for sharing 😁 I'll definitely give it a try

Thank you this makes so much sense.

Thank you Alex!

Awesome video 🌹 thank you

Thank Alex for the video. I will try to apply your method. I hope it suits me

This is one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard for learning a new language, and I’ve heard many. Thank you for the routine.

Thank you Alex

Excellent tips! make more videos... about your language skills, and how you study with other materials... and PLEASE make video of how you mix with other methods... and you work on your pronunciation, etc, etc...

Great video! Thanks for the tips. 🤓

I actually like this there's just a little thing I would change but overall I wanna try this.

OMG let me put these books into order :D

Nice video. I personally love language learning so much, that I always study at least for 45mins before having a break.

Thanks Alex .I am from morocco.

Excellent advice. I'm a new subscriber!!!

Oh wow, I am doing better then I thought I have been learning French for 6 months 3 hours every day. I do a lot of it while I do my makeup everyday which takes me 1.5 hours to do. It is quite easy to learn while doing my makeup and bonus I am looking in the mirror so I can see myself speaking in French

Awesome technique,thanks,I try to use a long sentence as long as I can,yep,I think this is long enough.

This literally perfect!! I´ve always wanted to study for an hour but I usually don´t have the time, I´d never come up with this. Thank you!

Thanks alot that was so helpful

Thx for this video ❤

Good stuff!

Goeie video Alex! Ek gaan dit probeer

thank you very much❤️

thank you!!

Thank you Soo muuuch for sharing !! I am gonna try to apply this routine in my daily days ❤️♥️

You are a role model for me ! I want your book if it's probably out now

Muy interesante lo haré con el italiano, tengo una base, pero quiero mejorarlo. Lo venía haciendo no con esta combinación de tiempos, pero si cuando lavo los platos, limpio la casa escucho videos en italiano, este método me gusta porque lleva más disciplina y puedo ir organizando los temas. Está genial porque los idiomas se aprenden eso con constancia y en contacto de forma natural, todos los días hacer algo, no con solo clases dos o tres veces por semana o como una obligación, sino como una actividad natural, así como hemos aprendido nuestro idioma. Great method I am sure that must work It...BEST wishes, Thanks Alex for this info, cheers❤🎉

Thanks a lot

Alex, thanks for sharing your method of language learning: 15, 30 15! I’m also a polyglot and now, I’m preparing my first multilingual video. If you (Alex and audience) wish, I could post it here! Greetings from a Bulgarian polyglot speaking 12,5 languages.

Thanks u so much sir. you are really awsome✨💫

Omg ¿dónde estabas todo este tiempo? jajaja 🙌 ¡Muchas gracias! 💛

I'm going to give this a try and report back!

What a great video with an awesome training method :) Small criticism: The Music sounds like something you can torture with!

Thanks for your device. I am learning German and English.

It’s always a pleasure to watch your vlogs Alex. One thing I would enjoy watching you discuss is the, excuse the expression, fickle nature that plagues some linguists. We are really spoilt for choice when it comes to languages and I wonder if there is a ‘strategy’ you could suggest that would assist in narrowing down, by process of elimination, the languages we commit to learning on a long term basis. It is very easy to lose interest in a language when the pull of another one veers us off course.

Hi Alex, Just discovered your channel and really love the content. Thank you! Quick question, how much progress would you say the average learner could make with following this method for 5 days per week? I'm looking to get to basic utility in Hungarian, at a level where I can ask for basic things, understand simple conversations, greetings etc and learn some essential 'phrasebook' type phrases ahead of a trip to Budapest to meet some Hungarian friends and relatives. I appreciate this is a vague question and might have a 'how long is a piece of string' type answer but any rules of thumb or ballpark rates of learning you could share would be really valuable.

Thanks for the video. I like the format but I was hoping you’d share what we should be focusing on? Grammar, vocab, speaking practice, reading etc ?

The real mean of small step every day i should give it a try 🤩

I will use your ideas on reviewing which I have been missing in my Russian studies.

Thanks

한국어를 공부하고 계시네요! 한국어가 들려서 반가웠어요 :) Thank you for your helpful tips to learn a language.

gracias, voy a intentarlo :)

Top Video 👍

I haven’t been finding any language learning method for me while learning Japanese この動画を見た後、日本語でもその方法を使います ❤️‍🔥

I love the technique you introduced 🧚 I am going to start it right away 👣😉

Hi Alex I'm Iranian... I speak persion/farsi I really suggest you to learn our language.. it's absolutely perfect.. And really nice to know you 🌟🌷 You're great 👌🤩

I want to learn english and accent like you have

thank u

Гениально! Просто гениально. Честно мне кажется, что все советы Алекса не только применяются в изучении иностранных языков, но и в жизни. Я бы сказал, что Алекс мог бы полноценно читать лекции в области тайм менеджмента. Алекс, спасибо за материал, было очень позновательно

Polyglots Notes is on Smashwords...about 15% of the book for free and not only is this method described, but also the Pomodoro Method....amazing book...chapters on how to study all facets of language...you can downloaded very cheaply on a variety of E versions

Thank you so much for your routine I definitely will try it out .. I wanted to ask if we should review what we learned in the whole week maybe at the weekend or something like that or the review study review method will be enough with no need to add a revision ritual every once in a while or we should add it to the first review of the method I really hope that my question was clear and that you will answer me Once more thank you so much for your amazing routine

Ek is baie beindruk dat jy my taal better as ek dit kan praat. Ek leer Spaans op die oomblik. Danksy aan jou

Super late to this. But Neri has card decks on Anki which have been amazing, especially when combined with audio. But his free decks are 3100 unique sentences. His paid part 3 is 61,000+ with each section containing around 11,000+ cards. They're in sentence format (2 word, 3, 4, all the way to 9). It's pretty incredible

well that sunds interesting

This is a great tip, Alex! I'm going to start implementing this 15-30-15 routine right away! What about if you are studying more than one language, though? I guess the whole hour should be dedicated to just one language, right? For me, I have one intermediate language (Czech) which I would like to try this routine on, but I have 1 more upper intermediate language (Spanish) and 2 advanced ones (French/Russian) that I need to maintain. To be honest, the 2 advanced ones I can kind of keep ticking over by watching/reading things. But there's the upper intermediate one that gets rusty very easily.

Cool video:)

Hi Alex, thank your for your clear suggestions! I have a question as an English and Spanish learner : Is it possible to follow this routine for 2 different languages at the same time?

Dankjewel!

Alles gute 🙋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇱🇹🇧🇷

Nice , I'm going to try it with my next language：Scottish Gaelic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚔️

You are a great person ya know, I'm proud of meeting you accidentally on RU-vid and it will give me a perfect opportunity to follow your instructions, the tips you're giving off and all your sweet gestures 🙈I saw you yesterday on RU-vid while searching for ways to learn El Català cuz I'm in love with Catalunya and I actually started learning it in November, 2019 but I couldn't spend much time with learning it cuz I'm a medical student. But umm I really love the important thing about you: Learning language not bc it's more common or not bc there's a large population to speak with. You value the language for its own sincerity and that's a great way that ur also trying to raise the value of languages which are in danger of progresing gettin' lost. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I FIND YOU VERY SEXY WHEN YOU SPEAK EN CATALÀ Realment em perdo la ment quan veig que parles en català😍 Vull que facis més vídeos en català. Salutacions d’un kurd🤗😘

Ive just started learning Swedish, after watching this and a few other content creators its clear that consistency is the key when learning a language, so it doesnt always matter so much how or what your learning from as long as your brain has something to process progression will happen thank you for sharing this

Hi I am a new member on your channel,I love languages and it is hard to me to find a channel about languages and not to subscribe

n nice routine

The most important thing in life is knowledge of foreign languages! Thanks to foreign languages you can realize all your dreams and realize your grandiose ambitions!

I wish he came back to youtube… see how he’s doing and what languages he is studying now, and what his level of each of them actually is (like Hungarian, French or German) :((

i try in head translation but it's slow... something i dont recall the meaning to a word instantly... why? how do i get the meaning to be recalled instantly?

Τρομερός 👏👏👏👏

Nice, you're starting to learn Korean? Are you learning the writing systems of Asian languages, too? A video about how you manage to keep all of your learned languages "alive" would be most interesting! Please :)

I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.

And how do you manage to maintain your skills in all these languages? :D

Alex, thanks for the video. My schedule doesn't allow for a 30 minute study session mid-day. I could do 15 min in the am, 15 min at lunch, and 30 minutes in the evening. So it would be review, review, new study material, etc. Do you think this would be equaly as effective or perhaps a bit less? Thanks.

Realizará los cursos pagos o los hace gratis de la web? ¿Conocen alguna página online para estudiar idiomas?

Idk why, just came across your channel and now I think I want to teach myself some language's.

Hello alex i wanna ask u a question can i use this mothed with two languages? Like i spend 2 hours a day ? Whats is ur opinion!

how many languages are you learning?

Would it be too much to learn Russian, German, Georgian and Welsh at the same time? I already have a very strong foundation and am quite good at Russian and German, but I am fascinated with the latter two and want to learn them. Feasible with the 15/30/15 rule? Thank you!

Hmmm I study every day on week days for 4 hours - 4: 30 mins and on weekend I do 6-7 hours I do It every single day, Like ive done it every day for now 2 months and 2 1/2 weeks . Im 12 so I have no life >-< Edit: Im learning Japanese which takes the 2nd most time to learn and the 2nd most hard so yea I need to do it for more :D

How to go from intermediate to advance level in English?

You use Rosetta Stone?

How much 30 minutes classes ?

I heard of you from Olly Richards so I was quite curious to see the kinid of advice you give. I must admit my initial reaction when you explained that you split an hour each day 3 ways was that although yes you will progress (say by a centimetre) and after 100 days that would be a metre (metaphorically speaking) and let's say to be conversationally fluent is a kilometre, it's going to take a hell of a long time to get far in a language within a year. With a language like Japanese for example there are two main things to learn: the joyou kanji and vocabulary. So would we spend the first 15 minutes split 5 minutes for some kanji review and then 10 minutes in a review activity, then 30 minutes split 10 minutes for kanji and 20 minutes studying japanese, and then the final 15 minutes reviewing the lunch time study? It would take at least a year just to be able to recognise and write the 2200 kanji at that rate whereas if I studied more hours in a day I could get through the kanji within 3-5 months (or quicker) and therefore the rest of that time would be spent actively reading things in kanji. Overall let me clarify my point: I agree that "progress" will be made but I honestly believe it will be actually boring to study that little because in 3 or 4 days of study you barely know more than you did 3 or 4 days ago and that would be demotivating or frustrating (at least for me). Let's say I'm a total beginner. Within 3 months (depending on the language) I would aim to get to about A2 level because at that point I could potentially reduce the number of hours of study per day to 1 or 2 and then just give it time. When you're starting in a language, there is so much to cover and because we tend to be motivated and excited to learn what we don't know it becomes easy to learn new things and so progress can be really fast. We should ride that wave as far as it takes us while trying to implement good study habits.

Que quiere decir esto en español?

And when you learn more than one language?
