"Use your new language as a tool to communicate from day one!"

"When you first understand the message your will unconsciously acquire the language."

"It's physiological training. (speak, listen)"

" Focus on getting the meaning first. (Learn by body language etc, patterns you already know). "

"Focus on the core (Learn 1000 most used words, go for 3000 for pro-level)"

" If you think in your native language and try to simultaneously translate to the foreign language a story, you quickly run into big trouble. That is why you have to learn to think in the foreign language. Then you can become fluent."

"A drowning man can’t learn to swim."

"Listen for the sounds, the rhythms, the patterns, the pronunciation…"

"Try to understand the meaning or the message before worrying about the exact word or vocabulary."

"If you know 10 verbs, 10 nouns, and 10 adjectives, you can already say 1000 different things!"

"Language is a creative process. Have fun with it!"
