I learnt it in 6 weeks, but I'm Brazilian and the proximity between Portuguese and Spanish helped me a lot haha!!

[@millsathn]

Lots of very common words is about as far as it goes though.

[@loganbryan5311]

This is the best way to learn. Read in spanish. Most words are similar. Then you realize you just have to fill in the blanks. It forces you to focus on the meaning rather the pronunciation. That comes with time .

[@teresita.lozada]

I agree

all of them are mexican/spanish. look. we aint stupid.

[@comeplaywitjen]

I just tried the free live class I was able to follow along and participate. It was a newcomers class but with this teacher you def had to know some Spanish. I’m sure other teachers explain more in English. I am def going for subscription.

[@EL90291]

3 weeks to be able to order “tapas”.....

[@Ta3iapxHs]

that's some serious motive right there.

[@aldozilli1293]

I have been speaking Spanish everyday for 14 years, sometimes I still find it difficult to understand certain slang or jokes, I sometimes find explaining complicated things or stories challenging and still make mistakes, my accent is not perfect either. Despite this people always congratulate my Spanish so it can't be bad. What I am tryi g to say is there is no way you can learn a language properly in 3 weeks, even 14 years later there will be loads of room for improvement.

[@arieroskam4000]

Aldo Zilli if you’ve been ‘learning” spanish for for as long as 14 years and still haven’t really mastered the language, it’s because you have been learning hard enough, or effectively. If one really puts their mind to it and learns in an extremely efficient and effective manner then you can absolutely learn most of a language in 3-6 months, your 14 years is not really a legitimate benchmark.

[@aldozilli1293]

@@arieroskam4000 I speak every day with the family. My wife is Argentinian and I have always spoke Spanish to her. It took me 9 months living in Barcelona initially to get to am ok level.

[@aldozilli1293]

'Most' of a language not a chance and definitely not in the timeline stated in this video. 3 to 6 months maybe as a Spanish person learning Portuguese or Italisn

my spanish is better than i thought lol. those sentences were pretty easy for me to get

[@PelczarTomasz]

I was learning Spanish between 2000 and 2005, I remember few words etc, but I need some experiences, like first visit in the Spanish spoken country etc... I had problem to remember new words by only reading, listening and repeating etc...

everyday we hustlin

[@MrSportygamer]

People calling it a scam. It’s not going to make you fluent but you can be basic conversational in bars and restaurants and similar in that time. Not perfect sentences either but you could probably get your point across. It doesn’t take years to become conversational otherwise polyglots would all be super old

[@zero2006xl]

I am a native spanish speaker and I haven't understood where her sister lives 1:21 . Also what are their native languages? 2 sounded british like, 1 reminded me of indian accent, but the rest? why not all native english? and if so, why not point out their language for comparison?

[@AlexAmelkin]

Four hispanic-looking people with heavy non-English accent speaking English and pretending they've never spoke their mother tongue. Really funny.

[@ismailniyaz5167]

The girl with bangs is Romanian, and native Romanian speakers find learning Spanish a breeze since both languages share the same language family. She was obviously lying when she said she had to "start from zero".

Who's the girl at 1:06

[@Talkathon408]

How many of these people already had experience of romance languages and have already learnt a foreign language? It took me years to learn Spanish because it was my first foreign language. I can understand written Portuguese, French and Italian but I haven't learnt these languages. Thus I think this test is very misleading. A fairer test would be to get them to learn a completely foreign language in three weeks, like to get a Romance speaker to learn a Sinitic language in three weeks. Barring a couple of savants, they wouldn't have a chance.

So where are these people from clearly not native English speakers yet their English is pretty good! This is a BiG factor since they have already learnt to speak a second language fluently they have a BiG advantage!

[@surprisedpikachu4589]

@@AlexAmelkin the girl with the bangs is Romanian but still Romanians have such an easy time learning Spanish because both languages come from the same language families.

[@aldozilli1293]

I learnt French fluently before learning Spanish, I picked up the basics quickly but even so after 3 weeks I was no where near a good/OK level, 6 months at least of full immersion is required.

[@neilnachum1]

Non-sense. I've got 11 years of formal Spanish learning, years of speaking Spanish professionally with natives and CANNOT follow native speakers on most subjects. Live in a Spanish speaking country for at least a year while/after studying 5 years is basic to mastering a foreign language like a native. Esperanto is the only language that is half as difficult to master.
