While the title “Fluent in 3 Months” has created a lot of controversy and is thought by many to be simply clickbait, this intensity and goal was actually my learning philosophy long before I ever started posting online, based on seeing real world examples of others who had the pressure and need to learn a language quickly.
There are reasons why I'll never switch to slower approaches when it comes to learning a new language, and in this talk I can give the exact reasons why!
There are certain personality traits, priorities and preferences that make long-term slow learning (for anything but language maintenance) to be incompatible with certain people, and is a major reason why so many people will never get beyond the absolute basics. And then again, there are many types of people for whom this level of intensity would be a waste time.
In this talk I can outline why some people should consider much more intensive bursts of language learning, and what that could look like realistically in their lives.
This talk will be a brief break in what I am currently doing; very intensively attempting to learn Korean to a B2 level in 3 months, which I can also discuss and answer any questions on!
