How to Learn Foreign Languages in 500 Hours
I plan to learn Spanish, Japanese, German, and Chinese over the next decade.
Here's my current gameplan for each language:
- Listen to Paul Noble's audio courses (~12 hours total).
- Add beginner news/chat podcasts to my feed (~50 hours).
- Install an auto-translate browser extension (~100 hours).
- Consume beloved media in target language (without English subtitles) (~100 hours).
- Practice by writing short stories and speaking with strangers (~200 hours).
I'm unsure if this plan will work, so please email me if you have any tips or resources!
