Speaking 4 languages myself I can tell you that this simple advice can help you alot. This makes it much easier to start talking to people (which is KEY to learn a language fast.) Furthermore it brings humor into your interaction if you fail at comunicating and you just say something "I eat my apple" out of nowhere. :D

Here are the 12 sentences he was talking about for those that need them:
The apple is red
It is Johns apple
I give John the apple
He gives it to John
She gives it to him
We give him the apple
Is the apple red?
the apples are red
I must give it to him
I want to give it to her
I'm going to know tomorrow
I cant eat the apple
