In this video, I'm going to share the exact method behind how I taught myself French (B1) and Tagalog in 30 Days! I’ll take you step-by-step through the entire process starting from stage 0, I’ll explain how the road trip framework works, and give you a list of exercises and resources that you can use yourself!

▬▬ More On My Background ▬▬
I took French on and off for 15 years in the Canadian education system, but learned literally nothing. I don’t remember anything except maybe some pronouns, colors, and “est-ce que je peux aller au toilette s’il vous plait?”

So at the start of my 30 day French Challenge, I took a placement test and it put me in A1 beginner level. So while I was not a COMPLETE beginner to French, I was still very much a beginner.

I’m also not completely new to Tagalog. I grew up hearing Tagalog through my family and at the start of my 30 day Tagalog challenge, I could understand the language pretty decently, although I couldn’t speak it.

So to some extent, no, I’m not a 100% beginner to any of these languages I’ve learned so far. I’ve had some exposure to them and had it pretty easy so far. Still, I believe that the principles of The Road Trip Method are helpful.

BRO THE BEST LANGUAGE LEARNING VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. i have adhd and i literally can not focus on these slow boring “memorise this memorise this grammar table” but THIS VIDEO. fully immersed and motivated THANK YOU SO MUCH

[lame]

I saw ur vid about french Yesterday. Now I'm more motivated to learn this language

[jonstan]

I love the idea of using a transcription tool to find your most commonly used words. I feel like that would make learning any new language feel much more organic and natural to your own speech. It’s like creating a personalized gateway to the language.

[paduchescuuuuuuuuuuuu]

I swear, that's the best video about 'how to learn a foreign language' I've ever seen. I started my journey with English by 5 July 2024, and that's my first comment ever on YouTube in English. You make me do my best. You got me hope. Sorry for the mistakes, I hope to reach B1 or B2 by 2025, maybe in January. I wish you all the best.

Omgg whattt?
Je suis française et je n’ai jamais vu une aussi belle progression. Ta prononciation est vraiment incroyable également!
Poursuit tes efforts !

[romaingarraud]

The best video I saw this year. I’m French and currently learning Japanese. It motivated me to create a new routine and follow my dream ! Thanks Ameer ! I will post updates under this comment in few months ! 頑張りましょう！

Au passage, ton français est très bon ! Ta prononciation est excellente ! 👌

[AnnieDang]

blown away by the quality of this video. so informative and helpful! i’m feeling extra motivated to tackle learning tagalog in this way :)

[veronicasarabia]

It is so important to have a motive/reason/goal to learn a language.

[ChuckUC]

Thank you I enjoyed the video, an Old Kano living in The Philippines, 67 years old learning another language.

[qualyy]

I love how this video is serious, actually being helpful, but have humor sprinkled on top. Perfection.❤

[gigialmic]

literally the best language video i've ever seen. informative, interesting, funny, it felt like a movie.

[dusyanka]

You’re insane!
I never ever leave any comments on YouTube but now I want to say big thanks for such quality content about languages learning 😊

I am Russian and at school I used to study 3 foreign languages. Now I’ve come up with an idea to study an additional one - Spanish. And I do like that your advice is different from a decade of others channels I’ve already seen trying to figure out how I can speed up this leaning process.

Thanks again, keep going with your cool videos!❤

[CandaceNguyen]

this video was AMAZING, i realized i need to flip my ratio of input/output asap. funnily enough, i've been doing the 90 minute cycles naturally - glad to know that there's science behind why i naturally stop at 90 minutes. great content!!

[elhsam]

Just because of your video about Tagalog, I am (almost) all-in into learning my native language. Again, thank you.

[godsdaughter]

I think this is the most comprehensive and well produced video on language learning I've ever watched.

[abckidscroblox]

This video is beatifully made. I've been trying to learn a language on and off for a few years now, but I feel completely lost sometimes, to the point that I have forgotten why I wanted to learn in the first place. Thanks you so much for this video, for making me remember again. Best of luck on your language journey! 🍀

[AlexiaAGallien]

That otter Ai sounds like an amazing idea! Wow. I will try it because it does make sense to use the most common vocabulary words that I use in my person like and conversations. Great video! Thank you.
