How fast can you learn a language ... FOR REAL ?

[@stanwoody4988]

You have achieved with English my goal with Spanish. If you had not told us, I would not be sure what your native tongue was. While it is near impossible to speak a second language without an accent (with the exception of a CIA class) that ability to speak a second language so well that people cannot tell where you are from is an impressive achievement. Congrats.

Thanks, that explains why I've heard a conversational person say, "I've only been studying French for 3 months". For me it's still a big challenge after 16 years of Spanish & 12 years of French!

I know... These videos/people can be seriously misleading!!

@@Frenchramble The misleading is intentional by many KZbinrs as it helps their views and click counts. Imagine titles saying how to learn a language with a lot of hard work and time. It isn't enticing for the lazy people, which will be more abundant.

Tout à fait ! Parfois, quand je regarde ces vidéo là , elles me font sentir tellement bête 😅 Mais je sais qu'ils le font à un niveau plus avancé et qu'ils ont beaucoup d'astuces comme ça. I just have to remember to just take it one day at a time. 😉

Oui mais c'est comme les formules magiques pour perdre du poids ou devenir riche ... C'est complètement fake, et ça démotive les gens 😳

Depends on what you mean by "learn", right?
