😳Why Modern Humans SUCK at Languages - Learn From the Ancient Romans:

[matttilley]

I just realized this guy is on a recruiting mission for the CIA.

[MrTidx]

You'd be amazed at how easy it is to learn something when your being paid to do so

[MegaBestoffer]

I speak 4 languages. People don't realise that to learn a language just buy the countries newspaper and memorize the words and their meaning. To learn a language you need to understand three thousand words of that language. A newpaper is perfect for this because it needs to be understood by everyone because the target audience is everyone and everyone has to understand it to read it.

[americandissident]

Former intelligence specialist here. The CIA does not simply teach “spies” languages in six months. They can train people to learn certain easier languages in six months, such as Spanish or French. Other languages have longer training programs due to their difficulty. These include languages like Levantine Arabic and Hangul, which each take 18 to 24 months. It also depends on what the “spies” are doing. If you’re a military interrogator or SIGINT guy, you will be trained to a certain level. If you’re State Department attaché then you might be trained decently, but you’re going to learn a LOT when you get in country and start functioning in that culture.

I went to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA in the Marine Corps (mid-90’s) where my target language was Russian. They taught all languages there and that’s all you did was learn your target language by native speakers. All the services were there and all kinds of operators attending (Seals, Rangers etc. aaand people with suits on occasion that didn’t talk much, no idea who they were).
He is right, I told a fellow Marine “I’ll kick your ass” (guy talk) in Russian and a Russian teacher walked by and said “A real Russian would not understand why you would kick them in their hindquarters? No, a real Russian would say (I don’t have a Cyrillic keyboard) I will dance on your bones!”

[HalValla]

My university kind of does this as well. We learn grammar in isolation first, then go straight to forming logical sensical sentences in the language (in my case it's Russian), so you get grammatically fluent in the case system, verb conjugation etc. It's a neat learning method, because unlike Duolingo, the stuff we're taught actually stick

[ausgepicht]

While your guest made great points, he's apparently never been in France. There's nothing unusual about a brown or black person speaking fluent French there. Walk down any city in France and you'll see black people that are French, They may be second or third generation Cameroonian, Senegalese, Kenyan, Sudanese, Ethiopian, etc., but they are French, born and raised. Same goes for Vietnamese people in France.

As someone who is a polyglot, everything else he said is spot-on. Nothing is better than being immersed and no child on earth learns to speak their native language in the manner that is taught in schools. They learn by listening, then when they can finally speak, they mimic.

I learned more in 30 days living in Germany, than I did in the previous year by studying books and watching videos. When you have to go to the supermarket or pay your utility bill or order food or make friends at bars and clubs - thrown right into the fire - in 30 days you'll be conversational. Not saying you will be able to dictate a recipe or tell someone how to fix their car. but you will be able to do everyday things.

Same with Spanish. 3 years in high school and moved to Florida and understood hardly anyone! Worked in a seafood plant where everyone was Guatemalan, Mexican, Salvadoran, Dominican, etc. and in 30 days I was conversational. I was immersed.

Those two languages combined with English allow me to read Portuguese and Dutch. I may only get 6 words of a 10 word sentence but that's enough for me to figure it out. I've used the same immersion process to learn Devanagari/Sanskrit and Egyptian Hieroglyphics.

Before you say, "Well, you just must be one of those special cases of fast learners." I'll prove to you that that is wrong and YOU can learn a language fast: In 2017 I had 2 widow maker strokes with left me having to learn to walk, talk, tell time, count, know what year it is, etc. I have Aphasia still, I have memory issues from the strokes and CTE, etc. and I had to not only relearn English, but Spanish, German, and Sanskrit w/ Devanagari, but more pertinent to you: I taught myself to read Hieroglyphics after the strokes as rehab since the doctors said to use my brain in novel or new ways.

If someone with brain damage can learn something like Hieroglyphics, YOU can learn a new language too. You MUST be immersed and you MUST understand that the tongue, ear, and lips are three different skills that only being immersed makes you use all three. Being able to read in another language isn't the same as being able to speak it, for example. REAL language is a back and forth. I say something, you say something. Get on Zoom or a website or TikTok or whatever and find yourself a social media pal that you can speak to. I bet in 30 days you will be conversational! Best of all is it's free!!!

[galimir]

the "why is brown guy in Paris" thing showed me how knowledgeable this dude is 😂😂😂 I mean, there are more browns and blacks(French born!) in Paris now than whites probably 😂😂😂😂😂

[djo-dji]

I went to Germany in 1984 and 1989, and heard many 3 to 4 year old children speaking very good German. How can that be possible? They must have some secret programme overthere.

[InimitaPaul]

When you’re selecting for the upper percentile of the population I doubt it’s excruciatingly difficult to teach them a language in six months.

[harrypalms]

I learned Russian in 3 months in the Navy.. 8 hours a day 5 days a week.. Self study in the evening for 4 hours.. Some times I took the the weekends off.. Mostly I didn’t. How did I put this knowledge to work?? Ya think submarines just carry missiles?? Nope we tapped into seabed telecommunication cables.. Sat there for weeks at a time.. I can’t tell you where I was. Because I didn’t know.. I know it was in the Okhostok Sea… I know that spelling is is wrong it’s been 30 years..

[DJ-ukmm]

I learnt basic French. I can’t read music but I can play musical instruments by ear. As a result. When. I spoke French I spoke with a Parisian accent. . Problem was I have a very limited vocabulary so as soon as I started speaking people would assume I spoke perfect French and they would run away with the conversation… once I realised, I switched to speaking French but with an English accent … then people automatically slowed down and made allowances for me … This channel has inspired me to learn a new language

[MotoMatsalleh]

Learning words in the context of full sentences is key, great tip!

[charlesianima]

LOL. There is a "secret" formula. Like anything else in life, always about finding the common denominator. When I was (still am) learning Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese — Latin is a key language or "secret" to learn. They are all "romance" languages, so just find the ROOT of things and it will always help!

Love this video man, I am glad I came across your channel! Keep up the great work of teaching others! Stay blessed 🤍🙏🏼🪽

[gabrielrodriguez]

It sounds made up but i kind of learned this at a young age from being observant. My coworkers think im fluent in tagalog because i have no accent. I used to make beats for about a decade and got good at mimicking sounds and had a naturally ability to articulate the nuances in tone. The phrases ive learned in mandarin also give people the impression i know more because i say it so well.

[tantilist]

The brute force method works too. Basically spend the entirety of the day (12+ hours) studying and training to do the thing you want to learn. You keep going on and on untill it seems you're getting nowhere and then keep going. The basic thing here is to do only the thing you want to learn all day 7 days a week. After a few weeks, test yourself, if you don't do it perfectly, continue on.

[James-oimz]

Ok! I'm impressed! Will there be more of this interview?

[ImArchangelMichael]

I’m about to fully immerse myself in Spanish. What’s interesting is the language you’re trying to learn it’s the one thing human beings will always help you with is learn their own language. It makes me have my faith restored in humanity again. Get to know someones language. And you’ll see the best in them come out. In other words, when you realize this, put that thought into action. Like I’m about to do and you realize how fast you can learn finding a partner to learn with is easy cause every human will teach their language. Effortless resources.

[PetarMilanZijic]

I’m not sure this guy should be going on every podcast across YouTube divulging all of the CIA’s secrets lol
