Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to learn a language?
Learn the most common words first, get input you can almost follow every day, start speaking early, and space your review so words stick. Same recipe for any language. The full breakdown is on the fastest way to learn a language.
Is there a secret method the FBI or CIA use?
No. Government agencies rely on full-time immersion programmes (the Foreign Service Institute and Defense Language Institute), often six hours a day for months. It's intensive hours, not a hidden technique. See how the FBI learns languages so fast.
