I spent 2 months learning French as fast as possible while working full-time. Here are my 9 best tips (which help for any language and level)

Earlier this year, I did two months of immersive French and went from the least-qualified student in my class to skipping a level and being at the top — while working a full-time job in a different continent.
I wrote a post that explains every single tactic I took to learn the language as fast as I could (and even used these tips to learn Chinese years ago). If you don't want to click, no worries: I posted a summary of my 9 tips below and how they can help regardless of your language level. :-)
(If you do want to see the full article with screenshots, more examples, and links to resources, here’s the link.)
1. Use the “Bruce Lee Hack” to speak better RIGHT NOW
Language experts always want you to have conversations with people.
But what if you can’t speak well? What if you only know a few words and can’t speak at all?
Then treat your words like Bruce Lee treats his kicks.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. -Bruce Lee
Let’s say you’re interested in French but know absolutely NOTHING except for “bonjour.”
Own it! Master it! Make it the best damn “bonjour” you can possibly say. Make the accent sound AMAZING. Make it sound smooth when you say it.
If you know a couple of sentences and phrases, do the same thing. Take ownership of those words. Practice them. You can always switch back to English when you run out.
As you do this, you’ll be able to relax, let your words come out naturally, and sound so much better. (And you won’t speak… like… this… because… you’re… thinking… so… much.)
It takes no additional knowledge. It’s just maximizing what you ALREADY have. Using the Bruce Lee hack, you’ll talk more skillfully without learning anything different.
You’ll be able to trust yourself and that’s how you sound amazing.
2. Talk to your FUTURE self (no time machine needed)
When you study a foreign language, you’ll regularly learn something new.
So, in a sense, you’ll regularly feel… like an idiot.
The problem is, if you continually feel like you’re falling short, you can hurt your confidence, motivation, and persistence, especially when things get hard.
But the trick to confidence isn’t to look forward toward your goals; the trick is to periodically look backwards at the starting point.
Once every two weeks, write letter to yourself in a foreign language about what you did that week and try to use everything that you know. It doesn’t have to be long, but try to flex your muscles. Then read it again in two weeks.
This gives you REAL confidence. That way, even if you’re having tough moments with the language, you’ll see that you are achieving and are growing.
3. Immerse yourself in the culture — without leaving your home!
You don’t have to sell everything and move to a foreign country.
Instead, find ways to change up the environment you have right in front of you to dive headfirst — here are some ideas:
1) Buy a stack of sticky notes and put them all around your home, labeling household items in your target language so you’re constantly thinking about it.
2) Go to an international supermarket and buy foods, candies, snacks, sauces, etc. from that country.
Not only do you get to learn about the culture and the language from the food itself, but you’re also behaving in new ways, which will change your identity through what’s called “self signaling.”
3) If you like to cook, try cooking a tasty dish from that nation. Try a bomb Spanish paella, Korean tofu soup (love!), Russian stroganoff, Swedish meatballs… use your imagination. Try peeking at the recipe in the native language and learn as you go.
4) For intermediate and advanced: Switch your phone settings to your target language. I’ve seen people do this and I was impressed with how much they picked up by necessity. (If it’s too hard, switch one app and try it out.)
Whatever you choose, have fun with it! Within a few days, you’ll be surprised with how much you remember.
4. Hack your MINDSET about the language
Ever had a moment when you thought, “Argh! Why is this language so hard?!”
We all have.
But these seemingly innocuous thoughts can actually be extremely dangerous for language learning.
You’re basically traumatizing yourself and getting stuck. Psychologically, you’re actually making it harder to learn and you’re reinforcing and empowering the challenges and difficulties you’re facing.
Don’t fight the language. Instead, shift your mentality about the language by taking a deep breath, exhaling, and saying out loud:
If other people have learned [this language], so can I.
Remind yourself that you’re not alone. There are plenty of other people out there trying to learn the language too and, if millions of people out there can speak it, you can do it too.
Here’s another tip: Focus on the part about the language that’s the easiest.
For example, French can be complex and difficult. But as an English speaker, there are a lot of similarities. Many verbs, nouns, and adjectives are the same, just with a French accent, and I had times where I just guessed the word and was right.
Remind yourself about the things with your foreign language that make it EASY — the more you think about why the language is easier, the easier it gets to you.
5. Stop reading the news (and what to do instead)
People often say to “read the news” in a foreign language to get more practice, but I actually don’t think it’s a great way to improve reading comprehension:
Truth be told, I don’t even like watching the news in English, let alone another language. But I love sports. (Fortunately, so does the rest of France.)
Here’s the thing: It’s the exact same grammar. It’s the exact same language. But it’s way more fun!
Think about it: You’ve learned a ton of vocabulary IN ENGLISH just from your own hobbies — all the vocabulary, terms, phrases, brands, acronyms, etc. It’s like it’s own language! You can channel that power to learn ANY foreign language.
If you like fashion, try to find fashion bloggers in your target language. If you like video games, find gaming blogs in that language.
Because it’s something you’re passionate and interested about, it’ll be so much easier for you to learn new vocabulary, persist when it’s difficult, and immerse yourself — which speeds up your learning.
If you’re ready, you can also watch YouTube videos from native speakers about your hobbies and interests. (Read the comments too because you’ll see how people talk with each other informally and pick up things you’ll never get on a language app.)
6. Go to warp speed (this tip only works if you’re willing to be wrong)
This tip will help train your ability to think faster, but it only works if you give yourself permission to be wrong.
The key to learn a language is to constantly break out of your comfort zone and use language for its true goal: Communication. So it helps to practice that urgency so you can communicate in real speeds.
Once a week, try to take a quiz, exam, etc. as fast as you can (while still trying to be correct). It should feel like you’re going “warp speed;” like you don’t have enough time to think.
It’s going to feel weird at first, but the more you do it, the better you’ll get and you’ll start sounding better and more natural!
This tip is about taking what you already have and putting it under higher and higher stress. That’s how you force yourself to give 110% and make big leaps.
Take your time to learn a skill — vocabulary, sentences, grammar, etc. — but once you tried it a few times, do it faster and faster.
For this tip, it’s OK to be wrong; just make sure you’re doing it fast.
7. Level up and reap the rewards
All languages have some sort of standard progression on “moving up.”
For example, in French, there are levels of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. Each level has a certain amount of “estimated hours” it takes to move from one to another.
Traditionally, you slowly make incremental gains by following the prescribed path. But the problem with this approach is you’re only going to learn language slowly. You’re following everyone else’s speed, not the speed that’s designed to give you lightning fast improvements.
Instead, level up before you’re ready.
Rather than waiting until you’re “ready,” put yourself in a higher level and adapt to it. Repeat the process and you’ll progress WAY faster than if you waited until you “felt” ready.
Take an online exam that’s at a level a little higher. Skip ahead in your study book. In a language app, occasionally try to jump levels. Try to “skip grades.”
(Oh, and you can always come back down if it really is “too hard.”)
You might worry, if you’re not ready and you jump a level, you won’t know a lot of things. That’s true. But now, you’ll go and learn them immediately rather than following the traditional path and waiting for the prescribed time to learn it.
Force your own hand.
8. Once you’re able to, start speaking to the RIGHT people
It’s always ideal to speak with natives.
By doing this, you can improve MUCH FASTER because you have to use all your skills to hang with a native-speaker AND you’ll learn things you can’t get anywhere else.
Here are some language sites where you can speak with natives:
As soon as you have a few sentences and words down, I highly recommend you chat with a native speaker as soon as possible, even if it’s just a brief online class.
If you don’t still feel comfortable speaking, no problem! You can also try HelloTalk, an app where you can chat with regular people by texting (which is often less stressful) and have them help you in real-time so you can get feedback in a more relaxing and comfortable setting. That way you can remove the fear and focus on interacting with native speakers.
9. Learn the foundations with the right resources
Have you heard about the 80/20 Rule?
With languages, this refers to how 20% of words are used 80% of the time (or more), 20% of verbs are used 80% of the time, etc.
To learn a foreign language faster, focus your efforts on the 20% — the most common verbs, most common adjectives, etc. — to get the most from the effort and time you put in.
For example, with French, I spent a disproportional amount of time learning the present tense because it affects other tenses. (If I didn’t learn it, everything else would be hard.)
To learn that 20%, however, I needed to take the time to memorize it. I also had to memorize ALL the (many) conjugations of verbs.
Fortunately, there’s a lot of resources to help you learn foundational elements. I took a page from Scott Young, author of Ultralearning, who’s knows his stuff — and knows how to learn well — so I’m going to share what he advises:
  1. Pimsleur. ...This is exactly the training you need to give yourself that beginner foundation.
  2. Teach Yourself. These offer a decent overview of the language. ...they do provide enough information to start having basic conversations where the real work can begin.
  3. Flashcards. A final strategy is to just use flashcards, from an app such as Memrise or Anki... the main advantage they have over DuoLingo is that you must produce the whole answer in your head, rather than select them as multiple-choice or from a word bank.
Wrap Up
In just seven weeks, I was able to go from barely being able to string together some sentences to having conversations with locals that lasted hours.
(I even used a lot of these tips to rapidly learn Chinese 10 years ago too! I went from entering a class 3 months behind everyone else to setting the curve on all the exams.)
I hope these tactics inspire and encourage you on your journey, and I hope they help you master the foreign language you want.
If you have any hacks, I’d love to hear it too! :-) Would you mind sharing them below? Also, I'll be more-than-happy to answer any questions and give more details in the comments as well.

From A1 - B2 in 10 months: Succeeding Delf B2 exam (in a non-french speaking country)

Hello everyone,
So, before I go into detail with how I succeed the exam, I would like to explain why I’m posting this. First of all, I have gotten so much help from different threads on reddit, thus I would like to take the time to say thank you. It’s been a great help! Secondly, this is not a brag post nor am I trying to get validation from others. I want to do this to give a bit back and hopefully someone can benefit from my experience. I really do hope that this have some sort of value, however, that may not be the case. I’m trying to show that it wasn’t easy, but it is possible with hard work and a bit of belief.
Just some background information. Last summer, I went to France for 6 weeks. I was A1 from the beginning and did not plan a year ahead, thus I was not aware that I would, eventually, take the Delf B2 exam. I finished the A2 after the six weeks and did not practice a lot in the following months. So I forgot a bit. However, around November (2018) I realised that I wanted to apply for a Master’s degree in June (2019) that required at least Delf B2 level French. Thus, 5.5 intensive months began.
I was not aware of how much work it would take, which was nice - looking back at it. I have seen a post in here where a person went from early B1 to succeeding B2 in a month, which is an incredible achievement. I got a bit sad, to be fair, when I read it because I could never have done anything like that. So for people that have the time to practice for somewhat 6 months in a non-speaking french country, and studying mostly by themselves, this post is for you. I succeeded with a score of 60/100, which is not very impressive compared to many people in here, but the time scope was limited, so it was a very satisfying achievement. Aim to pass - that’s all. I scored 9.5 in reading, 21 in writing, 14 in listening, and 15.5 in speaking. So, there you have it. The most important thing to say about the Delf B2 exam is that it’s a method exam. If you know what to do you will be much better off and that is a great help. This was my plan:
Time frame: December 1st to May 20th Daily basis: 2 hours of practice, so around 14 hours a week. If you quit social media, on average, you will gain 2 hours a day. It’s not important what you practice each day as long as you’re practicing. Most valuable resource: A teacher, Youtube, Anki, a good dictionary, and an app called ‘Conjugaison’. Book: Réussir delf B2 - the blue book. Great, however, the topics are a bit out of date in my opinion. Reddit: Look for advice in several threads. PDF: Buy ‘Les mots de l’info’ (Niveau B2 et C1) by Stéphane Wattier (2019). 400 words and 40 subjects, which I was quizzed on (transhumanism) in the oral presentation. You can find it at communfrancais.com - it is fairly cheap, and you get so much for so little. Private teacher: It’s crucial that you have someone to talk to and who can correct you. They don’t have to know about the Delf B2, it’s your responsibility. There are many online sources, which I have not used, but you can find them in other threads. This is, by far, the most important. I had 2 - 3 lessons a week for an hour, and paid for it. Not everyone have the ability to do that, but it is so important. Vocab: Use Anki for that. Create your own decks - and practice, practice, and practice.
I will now elaborate on each part of my preparation.
Reading: I didn’t do enough reading. I read the newspaper ‘le monde’, different threads on reddit, and had subtitles on youtube. I also read articles about the Delf B2 and also read the ‘Réussir le delf b2’ book, however, it was not enough and I should have spent more time on this. I scored very low, because it was the part that I had practised the least, and I do think you can make the exam way easier if you master this part. It’s a method and does not necessarily mean anything for your french in real life. Look for advice on youtube and communfrancais.com on this.
Listening: I used different podcasts including this one: http://frenchyourway.com.au/category/frenchvoices. It’s a girl named Jessica and it is quite difficult. I understood a fair amount, but nothing close to everything. You will find that the more you listen, the more you will improve. See if you can summarise on a piece of paper what she is talking about, so ideally you could talk about it with another person. It helps a lot and will expand your vocabulary. Use Netflix or some streaming services for movies and series. I watched Brut, Konbini, Le Monde, and interviews from ‘Clique x’ someone famous on Youtube. Youtube is AMAZING. Many different subject, many different people and accents. I didn’t understand everything and it is sometimes a bit difficult, but your brain works in strange ways and you will learn - little by little. Brut is amazing and I was so happy that I found it.
Writing: Write as much as you can and choose topics that you like. Look at the different formalities and work on the method. You need an introduction, arguments for and against, and then a conclusion. That’s it. The PDF I mentioned earlier will give you a nice vocabulary for this exercise, and the ‘Conjugaison’ app will learn you how to conjugate, which is very important. Make 1 essay every week and you will score above 20, I think. Get someone to correct your work and keep practising. For the exam I had to write about télétravail, which was a nice topic, but not something I care much about. However, it is a method and that is the most important. The arguments are not important, but have to be coherent.
Talking: I had a private teacher 2 - 3 times a week. It was a tremendous help and the only reason why I succeeded. I practised for every session and had to come up with the plan for each time. Monday was talking about a podcast and some small-talk as well, Wednesday would be a listening exercise from https://savoirs.rfi.ffapprendre-enseignelangue-francaise/delf-b2-comprehension-orale and then afterwards we would talk about it, and Thursday would be a podcast or I would prepare an oral presentation and she would quiz me. We talked, and talked, and talked, and I would very slowly show progression. Sometimes I would be worse than the time before, and sometimes I would be better. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. I would actually recommend you to make as many mistakes as you can, and talk whenever you can - with other people as well. Don’t be afraid to start a conversation when you can hear someone speaking french, just go at it. You don’t need a private teacher, but you need to speak with someone that can correct you. If you have French, then speak with them. If you go to the university, then seek out French people and ask if they want to practice their English, and then you can meet twice a week and speak for an hour or two (ideally).
About the exam: It wasn’t a great experience and I wasn’t sure if I had passed. The listening part is very difficult, so make sure to practice that. There will be other people in the room for the reading, listening, and writing part. But trust yourself and on your preparation. I was nervous, but so were the others. When the supervisor came in, she made a joke and everybody laughed - except me because I didn’t understand it (what a start...). But it worked out eventually!
I think these were my tips. Succeeding the Delf is mostly about persistency, determination, and priority. It will make everything much easier if you think that learning french is fun. Be curious and search for answers on reddit or in a dictionary. Remember that Delf B2 is without any sort of help, which I realised a few days before, unfortunately. However, this is actually a blessing. Lastly, keep practising vocab. I had 1300 words in Anki in the end, and the last week I would practice 800 - 1000 a day. I cannot recommend that, but you got to do what you got to do. Find your own way and make sure to make it as fun as possible.
I have probably forgotten something, so don’t hesitate to comment. I will gladly elaborate on what I have written - I rarely succeed the first time doing something. I hope that it can help you. Oh, I’m a Dane by the way.
All the best!

[Results] A bunch of completely random questions

Q1: Gender

http://i.imgur.com/PFzylqT.png
Lots of males, I see. Some of the other responses included:
And my personal favorite,

Q2: Age

http://i.imgur.com/YJ02boV.png
mmmm sexy skewness

Q3: Country of Residence

USA! USA! USA!...was a pretty good summary of the responses. A big thank you to the one Estonian who completed the survey, these results would be incomplete without you. Some of the rarer results were Zimbabwe, Iceland, Croatia, Awesome Land, and Equestria.

Q4: Are you an American? Is English the only native language you speak?

http://i.imgur.com/zo26NWT.png
Lots of Americans monolinguals.

Q5: Please list all the languages you speak

Got a lot of English, Spanish, French, German. There was an ASL speaker, Hungarian, Japanese, Dovahzul, Esperanto...
My favorite responses were these two:

Q6: Describe your education

http://i.imgur.com/u95ohYq.png
Although there's not much to say here I just want to point out that earlier on, the % of people who reported having a degree was nearly 60%, and it seems to have dropped significantly since then. I'm almost curious why, but not quite.

Q7: Please check all the vowels in your given name

http://i.imgur.com/UEytQum.png
A big fuck you to the two people with Ys in their name who ruined the alphabetical order of the list. If I wanted a bunch of random letters I'd open up a can of alphabet soup. Please shadowban yourselves. Thank you.
On a more serious note, I'm surprised E wasn't larger than A...

Q8: Please write the last word you hand-wrote which included the letter "Q"

Lots of "question". Some of the more interesting responses included virumque (Found the Roman), quantitativ (Found the German), My password (Which you should probably change now), and OPQRST (EMS Mnemonic).

Q9: What Color is Germany?

http://i.imgur.com/fJOmRwr.png
For some reason I have always known it as Grey. I suppose I'm in the minority.

Q10: What color is Russia?

http://i.imgur.com/qVGntx2.png
Evidently Russia's past is still embedded into people's minds.

Q11: What color is Scotland?

http://i.imgur.com/WZxFIPJ.png
Sadly, only 37% correctly answered the question.

Q12: What are these called: :) ;D :P

http://i.imgur.com/aNGLy70.png
So I recently started noticing people using the word "emoji" in place of "emoticon", so I added this question to see how pervasive this is. And it turns out that a lot of people are starting to use the word 'emoji' for both concepts.

Q13: Which of these countries is best?

http://i.imgur.com/vJ9Kgt9.png
For those not familiar with eu4, please enjoy this post explaining why Denmark would not be considered the best country.

Q14: Who do you shoot?

http://i.imgur.com/i9aqnPt.png
16.8% of respondents realized the only way to surely kill the alien is to kill both people, which was possible. Or maybe they just really like killing people.

The "Easy" level

Q15: Please translate the phrase "I see you" to the language.

Most people correctly translated the phrase, which was Hento toso yohe te. Some other responses included:
And from a person who thought wayyyy too hard about the question:
And from a person who though wayyyy too little about the question:

Q16: Please translate the phrase "Yono yono weke te" from the language

Again, most got this. "She knows her.". I also accepted "She knows herself." since it could really be either.
Some other responses included:
And my personal favorite:

Q17: Please select the verb.

http://i.imgur.com/p1wB704.png
78.1% of people got this. In theory, te could also be acting as a verb, but who knows, really. The other two are definitely wrong.

Q18: Please describe the function of the word "te"

Most people correctly identified it as "End of sentence", "Punctuation".
Now, to give this next response a little bit of background, I originally created this language to test something out a while back, and never published it. Since I had already made it, I figured I should just use it for this quiz instead of making a whole new language. So when I read this response:
Which was the original intended meaning of the verb, I got curious about what this person marked as the languages they speak, which ended up being English and Cantonese. I now have to wonder if this is how Cantonese marks tense.
Another person also submitted the same response:
However, their languages are English and French.
Very intriguing.

The "Medium" Level

Q19: Estimate the PROTO word for "four"

Most got pretty close, but only a single person got the word right:
The key was realizing two separate sound changes:
and
was more likely than
Especially when I also left evidence of a systematic sound shift tʰ>t>d in addition to kʰ>k>g>ɣ the same languages. (Note that the same languages which use /k/ also use /θ/.
The second trick was realizing that the /h/ in the beginning of some languages was a separate sound change specific to those two languages. Note also that these same languages also have {t,k}>ʔ. The third language with this sound change later lost the initial glottal consonants.
Or perhaps I poorly designed this question. Who knows, really?

Q20:Estimate the PROTO word for "seven"

More people got this, but still only a small fraction. The correct response was:
If *sas were the proto-word, then how would you explain those languages which have ʃ-es, where they are distibuted seemingly at random? D F and G palatalize /s/ before /i/, perhaps? Except that's not true for the word sis...
And a palatalization of /s/ before /t/? Sound like something a nazi would do!
So the "correct" explanation is a sound change of /ʃ/>/s/ which affected most languages.

Q21: Estimate the PROTO word for "you"

Technically the correct response was:
But there were not enough data to show how any other schwas may have shifted in sound, so it could very well have been *aln or even *uln or another vowel.
Despite this handicap, this was the question answered correctly the most.

Q22: Estimate the PROTO word for "tongue"

If you realized the sound shift I noted in Q19, this should be a piece of cake:
Nothing much else to say here. One person got it right (probably the person who got Q19) and the rest were fairly close.

The "Hard" Level

I basically designed this section to be nearly impossible to guess correctly. The language I used had so many grammatical quirks I thought it would surely take a fucking mastermind to even remotely get close to the true function of these words.
Nevertheless, a few people got some of these questions right, whether by sheer luck or sheer genius.

Q23: Hypothesize about the function of the word "i"

Most of the answers to this can be summed up as follows:
I suppose I'll start with the furthest-from-the-truth correct answers and progressively move to more detailed answers.
Although it's not used to mark the object, it does have a similar use.
Although I didn't intend for this use to be in these sentences, this is indeed one of the meaning of the word.
This person parsed the second sentence almost spot on, and is definitely the closest to guessing its true meaning. How I would translate the second sentence literally would be:
Where i is translated as "As for", or "With regards to", "With respect to", "Speaking of", etc.
This is used in certain verbal constructions such as those above.

Q24,25,26

Unfortunately I fucked up the wording and most people seemed to misinterpret the question, so unfortunately the data here're kinda useless.

The "Cooldown" Level

Q27 Hypothesize about what the glyphs might (31 glyphs)

The "correct" response was "phonemes", "sounds", etc. It is likely an alphabet due to the low number of unique characters.

Q28 Hypothesize about what the glyphs might (192 glyphs)

The "correct" response was "syllables". 192 phonemes is far larger than any language on earth (at least, to my knowledge), but too small for a logography (1 word = 1 symbol).
However, for a syllabary, it is fairly reasonable - for example, it could represent CV clusters with 6 possible vowels and 32 possible consonants.
Note also that 192 is evenly divisible by many numbers, so it is far more likely than, say, 193.

Q29 Hypothesize about what the glyphs might (2,007 glyphs)

The "correct" response was "words" or "logograms". 2,007 glyphs is fairly excessive for an alphabet or even a syllabary.
Alternatively, it could be a logography augmented with an alphabet, but it would still be using logograms.

Q30 Hypothesize about what the glyphs might represent (Symbols)

Hey, finally an open-ended question! No right or wrong answers here!
A lot of people thought B looked like a plant or a person.
Most thought C looked like an eye.
There wasn't really a consensus on A or D.
Some of my favorite answers were:
I think I have the KKK after me now... O_O

Q31 Please describe the medium where this writing system is likely written

"Correct" answers: "paper", "parchment", etc.
Some of the reponses even explain why this is correct:
etc.

Q32 Please describe this writing system

http://i.imgur.com/lgLRD5X.png
The "correct" answer is alphabetic due to the fact that so many characters repeat themselves.

Q33 Thoughts?

Hall of Fame:
I don't even post much there... that's kinda impressive then XD
I think someone else recognized me
OH FUCK HE'S ONTO ME
What...? My homework...? uh... no... this isn't homework...
