You realize that class room language lessons are the worst way to learn a language. Anyone can learn and be relatively fluent in a language in a mere 2 weeks.

I would pay you a year's salary if you could learn and pass a fluency test in Mandarin, Arabic, Afrikaans or Xhosa in no more than two weeks.

Those would be a bit more difficult however, Dr Pimsleur's approach is pretty solid

I triple that motion....with a tiny wall

Mickey, in our high schools we had to learn both french, english and arabic as starter up language in lebanon. meanwhile, in canada, in my district, they focus only on the province's main language which is french, while providing 2-3h a week of english classes. The rest is all about how much you use English outside of the classroom, between watching movies, extra curriculum activities, hearing that mexican rage online etc...
Personally I admit to learning SPOKEN english FASTER from tv shows than actual classrooms, but you simply cannot learn an entire language's bases without SOME form of guide, whether it was a classroom teacher, course, online tutorial, language app etc...


PS: i still insist on doing a full arabic grammar test. Even I still have no fucking idea how to nail those exams, and i speak arabic extensively since i was 2-3 years old...
Arabic is one of the hardest languages to learn, and especially to get tested in, because of the variations in origins, cultures, accents, dialect, meaning and even spelling of each word, based on where you are located. A city located 20miles from my birth city would use words i've never hoped to hear or use in my lifetime, but you learn it in time based on the context it is used... and my 10yr old kid brother is fluent in arabic and in french while learning to favor his english...


i repeat my question asked to nemesis, what do average 10 yr olds in the US speak/write again in? how many languages are they brought up against?
it's really not as simple as you claim it to be mikey, u have 2 weeks starting now, arabic.
go for it.

I can speak afrikaans fluently. It's just a bunch of clicks and pops. Leave it to the niggers to come up with the easiest language ever.

Clicks and pops are boring on paper too
