    Our step-by-step method guides you through:
    Selecting Key Domains and Topics: Focus on learning relevant vocabulary and phrases for specific situations and interests.
    Crafting Personalized Dialogues: Utilize tools like ChatGPT to create custom introductions and conversation starters in your target language.
    Understanding and Practice: Translate and practice these dialogues using platforms like Google Translate for comprehension and correct usage.
    Achieving Correct Pronunciation and Speech Flow: Seek assistance from native speakers or language exchange partners to refine pronunciation and natural speech patterns.
    Repetition and Practice with Flashcards: Reinforce learning through regular practice and review of key phrases and vocabulary.
    Listening and Imitation: Enhance your skills by listening to native speakers and imitating their speech, intonation, and expressions.
    Seeking Feedback and Refinement: Regularly obtain feedback from native speakers or instructors to polish your language skills.
    As you progress, the video encourages you to broaden your scope by incorporating more complex topics and cultural nuances into your practice. This holistic approach not only improves language proficiency but also enhances cross-cultural communication skills.
    Join us in this engaging video to unlock the secrets to rapid and effective fluency in your chosen language. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, these seven steps will pave the way to confident and fluent communication in any language.

    Thank you for making this insightful video Sir! I just had the same wrong understanding of fluency before watching your video… That has not only led to a lot of stress and rush even after I reached advanced level of my second/third languages, but also stopped me from enjoying the journey as well as mastering those small, basic but important chunks. Now I’m on my way to learn my fourth one but with a completely different mindset, walking on sunshine with the light of your insights😊 Thanks again!

    I like the 7 steps there and I agree that being fluent means different things and not just one thing, for example, the way I see it, is to understand mostly of what is being said and to able to get by and if you meet someone to be able to talk about different topics on the fly, it doesnt have to be an in depth conversation, just enough to get your point across, merry christmas.

    Thank you so much Sir. This is very inspiring, I have never had anyone explaining to me that clearly what fluency is, and how I can start to learn and speak the language at the early stage, normally I was very demotivated especially in the couple first month of studying a new languages, because I cannot see any progress. I will follow your guide and hopefully I can enjoy the learning journey better

    Some of these steps aren't possible in some languages:
    * languages with few speakers, such as Jemez (which has rules against writing the language), Viossa (which has rules against making teaching materials), and Lojban;
    * ancient languages, such as Latin and Ancient Greek (there are weekly chats in both, but if you want to talk about pickup trucks, you may have to make up a word).
    If you want to learn Sumerian, you won't find a native speaker, but you won't find anyone who's going to criticize your accent either. For Latin, you might get criticized by a modern Romance speaker.

    But why do I feel like 90% of all languages problems is solved with English only. It indeed is the most useful language in the world. Rest others are like additional supplementary aids like hobbies. But nothing can replace English supremacy. Lastly, on days when I feel so frustrated with language learning I really feel it's the exact same sentiments or thoughts that want to express in different languages so what the big deal, eh??
    So for me, my emotions matter more than words.

    My opinion is:- it’s a lie when people are saying come come I’ll help you to speak any language in 20 days. It’s a lie. Three -six months yes. But not 20 days sorry. I don’t know why people are still saying I’ll help you to speak language for one week.you said 90 days it’s true but I know a lot of people who is saying come I know the method

    • @polyglotdreams

      The amount of time it takes highly depends on the target language and its similarities with languages one already knows.

      It will take you a lifetime if you want to to speak your target native-like. I mean, having grammatical knowledge of a language is not enough . You need to have a command in areas such as phonetics, connected speech, correct pronunciation of word endings based on the last syllable sound, and so on and so forth. In the final analysis, your English will be pedestrian if you just practice for a couple of years. The opposite is also true, your English will sound superb if you practice on a regular basis for a lifetime. I've been there, I know what I'm talking about. Pay attention that I don't use the word "study;" instead I use "practice." Learning a second language is a whole different animal; you need to have a good command of the language. As a result, you have to live the language.

      @@GRADER800 Thank you for your input ... we need to make some things clear in our terminology ... let's take English for example, many monolingual English speakers deviate from standard English pronunciation, and grammar rules and have lower vocabulary knowledge than some non-native speakers.
      Living in the languages helps... I have lived around the world for about 5 decades since 1976 - age 18.
