I think the way languages are taught in school is backwards to say the least. Very inefficient and demoralizing.
However, speaking a foreign language can be a really fun, exciting experience and a way to expand your world view. I wanted to both share how I approach language learning and also see how far I could push things in one week.

He had a really good strategy, but he wasn’t a beginner, this changes everything.
But I feel like most people heavily dedicating themselves to learning a language aren't ACTUALLY beginners. A lot of people have previously picked up the language before and put it down multiple times already, or have had some previous exposure. I mean I'd say he's a beginner by real-world standards; not beginning from nothing but still a beginner. And I'm sure everybody can replicate this strategy--beginner or not--with a more extended time frame
I agree. There are about 10 different asterisks which nullify the title of this video
Those are just excuses, and you know that. If you have time, you can learn anything. Even if you don't have time you can learn from absolute 0. I know people that were in their 60s that started to learn a second language, without having any previous cantact with it. Those people were the ones who inspired me to learn english and as many as other languages as i can. And other thing, everyone is a beginner in everything, no one was born knowing, we learn over time after all. Don't use excuses to shadow your fears and mediocrities, just try, and don't give up in the first chance you've got. If you always give up in step 4 thinking you will never be able to do shit, you'll never know if in step 5 you will be able to do that.
Very true!
@@yuitomone608 Lol but what she's saying is true, even at the beginning he knew how to form future tense, participles and condicional phrases (which are at least intermediate). You CAN do anything, but the title of the video implies that you can learn a language in one week. I think you would be hard-pressed to find someone on earth who has truly become truly fluent in even a few months. I think it's just unrealistic and based so much on immediacy (and flexing, like, "who can learn the fastest?") even though real polyglots tend to dedicate at least a few years to each language. What he had learned by the end of a week is a drop in the ocean of cultural context.
Short summary: Memorize top 1000 words, record yourself saying these words, combine words and create more advanced sentences, learn the most common verbs and important conjugation, watch movies/series or listen to music/podcasts and take notes so you can understand what the people are saying/singing.
Can i use it for every language?
I feel like im gonna pronounce all of the words wrong
thank u so much
Lily Haverkamp You would. Ignore this person’s advice because you will end up with a strong accent that is hard to change. Just listen to the words, but don’t say them or else your brain lock onto a specific way of pronouncing a word that is off.
Or you could just learn how Italian pronunciation works, or in worst case find an app that lets you hear audio with the word. I’d recommend the app Memrise. Much more effective than Duolingo
1. Learn the 1,000 words.
2. Use it with a person who speaks Italian.
3. They respond with a bunch of words you do not know so quickly that you don't know where one word stops and the next begins.
4. Abandon all hope and go to Olive Garden for bread sticks.
and chicken alfredo
5 find out olive garden is a scam and chicken alfredo doesn't really exist in italy :(
@@JenLaRock *Still eat the chicken alfredo because it's bomb af*

Dont learn a 1000 words. It's a waste of your time. Use only what you use in your current language.

day 0: you need to already know some Italian
gottlos7 you can learn some basic Italian.
I really leaned from zero to C1 in 6 months.
@Alana Khoury Duo lingo is not a very effective way of learning a language. You'd be better off just finding natives to talk to, or watching TV shows, starting with kids shows. Just take a magazine and a story book and get them to tell you about them, then copy. Don't talk your native language, draw pictures to get them to give you the language.
@Alana Khoury the lies
😂
A quick summary of this video:
1. Learn the top 1000 words for the language (use different methods: writing them all down and rereading again and again, record and listen to it again and again whilst doing another activity, associating the word with an action)
2. Learn most common verbs, tenses, their conjugation and connective words such as ‘on’ ‘and’ (try and understand the rules, and irregulars)
3. Try to immerse yourself in the culture by using technology to help you with your language learning (translate music, watch Netflix shows with subtitles, listen to radio stations and podcasts, read books)
Where did he get the 1000 words ? I'm looking to try this with Spanish.
Thanks Zaina! Came to recap
Daje!
This comment is unbelievably helpful xD
You're such an angel thank you.
I’ve been trying to learn Italian for a couple months now.
I’m making progress,slowly but surely.
The verb conjugation has been the hardest,but I’m not giving up!
Brava continua così 👍
any update?
@@eriko5975 sure! I am listening to podcasts in Italian and I’m mostly able to follow along. I also recently started reading The Divine Comedy in Italian. I haven’t really gotten opportunities to speak it,but I think I could struggle through a conversation.
I’ve had ups and downs with feeling like I’m getting anywhere with it,but I have stuck with this whole time,and it’s certainly paying off.
@@madeleinecarson7262 it's great to hear that!
The verb coniugations were dufficult to remember even for us italians lol
The "click" came for me after a few glasses of wine at a dinner with Italian friends. I was getting bored of not understanding the conversation, then all of a sudden, my brain relaxed and instantly "tuned in" to the flow of what they were saying, and everything came into full clarity. Once your mind tunes into the channel people are communicating on, comprehension becomes easy and your skills will start growing exponentially.
This is surprisingly true and feels strange when it happens.
Thats so cool

@@rahmanhayat1868 I don't know, maybe you can speak with your Italian friend in Italian and getting helped by them
The best way to learn Italian is speak and watch tv more than you can, that language have a lot of useless words, you should focus on a list of useful information if you want study. Change language in Netflix or subtitles where you can 👍🏻

And this is how I'm gonna use my quarantine time, learning a new language each week. Wish me luck.
Each week? Wtf
Its 3 months in, hows that language learning going?
and.. did you learn?
Lmao you can’t learn a language in a week. This is supposed to be a different type of tactic, spread over 7 days, so that you can practice those fundamentals over a longer period. The fastest you might be able to be fluent would be 3-5 months of 8 hours a day 5 days a week for one language that is similar to your native tongue, and even longer for ones that aren’t. If it only took 1 week to be fluent in a different language, than everybody would know like twenty languages. Most advanced countries that have a generally bilingual populous only speak 2 or 3 languages on the high end. I’d plan on being conversationally fluent in 6 to 12 months depending on the language.
Tyler yea i completely agree i learned my 2nd language over quarantine where all day i spent it in german and it still took me 3 months to get to a point where i could understand most everything in tv, youtube etc its just not possible to learn a language in a week unless you have some sort of special talent with it but one week is just simply unrealistic for the average joe like me

You just get to those words later. His system looks designed to make you use the language in a meaningful way as fast as possible while staying motivated (hence the music). Then you fill in the blanks. Most people study languages for months or years before they actually use them.

Me: Was that an unintentional joke?
hahaha yeah it actually was!
"ci" is the reflexive of we, so it means "ourselves". Translate: "we love ourselves" as "noi CI amiamo."
Great job! As someone qualified to teach Italian as a second language I have to say that if any of my students would invest even half of the time and effort that you have in this one week in a whole semester the results would be very visible. Another problem with learning a foraging language in a traditional school environment is that students at the same time have at least 10 other subjects to spread their focus on and they might not be able to be as intentional with learning as an adult who has free time to study a language can be. With all this said, presenting to students language in a way to make them intrigued about the culture and interested to dig deeper themselves is sometimes all a teacher can do. Love what you're doing and I'd challenge you to do the same one week study of Hungarian language and document the journey :)

Ok what u need to do is honestly makes ur own website with various languages and steps for people to follow like what your doing. Imagine taking a Spanish class and be rather fluent in it in like a month by following steps like yours.
No te voy a mentir, me encantó esto que hiciste. Sólo me falta anotar la última fase para iniciar oficialmente con el aprendizaje del idioma que quiero. ¡Gracias por esto! 😄
Knowing French or Spanish first makes learning Italian so much easier. A friend who only spoke English took a long time to learn Italian. I speak French and took a bit of Spanish in school and I picked up a lot of conversational Italian after 2 weeks in Italy. I could speak well with the locals in Milan after about a month.

"I learned Italian in 7 days"..... after studying it for 2 years.... Part1
Also, he crammed the 1,000 most frequent words, which still corresponds to a rather elementary level,
and he probably forgot most of it quickly after lol. It takes at least months of intense practice to be proficient in a language, it's simply not doable within 7 days.
But it was a fun experiment, and I think he demonstrated that you shouldn't be scared of engaging in foreign language from day one.
@@emilstorgaard9642 I have studied and learned Italian for 1 year now. My first language is Spanish. Spanish and Italian are almost identical in many ways. AND...in many ways are entirely different. Let me tell you, it was hard. So for him to say he learned Italian in 7 days is just bullshit. To truly test his Italian I challenge he go to Italy and only speak Italian to the Italians in his 7 days of Italian. Guaranteed he's not going to do well. Guaranteed.
@@captainjosue
Absolutely agree. I've seen the same concept applied to Spanish with learners alleging that they learned it in 7 days lmao. I've been learning Spanish for 2 years now, the last 6 months or so being a serious effort, and it takes tremendous time and effort to become fluent in a language. There's a reason why the terms "fluent" and "native speaker" exist. Learning how to speak a language at high level is no trivial feat

Gracias, hermano. Me encanta tantísimo tu idioma pero desafortunadamente no lo hablo bastante a menudo - la mayor parte de mi práctica consiste en escuchar y leer. Principalmente veo películas con subtítulos en español y aunque me enseñan mucho, creo que es necesario hablar de vez en cuando.
Yea, the 7 days notion is horsepiss and misleading. You can possibly pass a test in your target language at a very elementary level if you cram nonstop for a week, but as I said already you'll forget almost everything shortly after.
In relation to Spanish, I was able to understand the gist of what was being said to me after a few weeks practice, provided that person was speaking slowly and clearly, and without complex language, mainly because English and Spanish share many cognates (my first language is Danish though, but I've spoken English fluently since a young age). But if you want to speak a language at complete fluency, it simply necessitates at least a few years intense effort. My perception of fluency is probably also higher than what most people would consider lol.

This is the same approach I've used for years as a web developer learning new programming languages and tech; just learn the core most common things you need to know and the rest comes with experience!

Great video! I agree with the techniques and also love the 7 day challenge.

To answer your questions about how I found the top 1,000 words, it was basically just a Google search. It appears as though these lists are flawed, so you may need to do some manual translating for yourself - if you notice you use a word a lot in your native language, but don't know the translation, that's probably a good sign that you should look it up.
That being said, I think we should make a more reputable source online with a proper list of the top 1,000 words in all languages. And I might your help to make that happen.
Yeah bro, making a custom list is mostly a good idea but you should definitely get someone to review it.
The catch to 100 most used words in a language is: it may not have words from another language because it doesn't exist; it's not because of usage frequency.
The phrase "what's up?" is quite common but may possibly just not exist in another language. So look out for that :(
One of those cases where it's more about How it is said in the culture rather than literally. But the 1000 list should definitely lead you to some of these culturally key words.
Great video btw dude, you inspired me to start Spanish again years after high school haha
I know this violates your rule about spending no money, but what you need is a Frequency Dictionary. It will contain the words of the language, but rather than listing them alphabetically, they’re listed in the order of how often they’re used. That will give you the most common 1,000+ words and it’s a scholarly source.
In the top 1,000 words, did you include words as articles, verbs, prepositions, etc or just main vocabulary (nouns)?
What was the background music, please?❤

In the shower, describing what I am planning to do, or describing what I see when I was on the go. It was so useful. This way I found sentences that I often use without needing it to build the sentence every time again. They became easy accessible packages so to say. Less mental load. Really nice!
Great tip! 💜
best tip i think !!I’m doing the same with learning english and it works.i’m french speaker normally 😊
@日産スカイライン I'm studying japanese!
I did the same 😂
I'm italian and i'm learning Hiragana (Japanese) from Duolingo.
_-(They kidnapped my friends please help me)-_
You can get the Hiragana down in like under one hour..
The Japanese language is pronounced as Nihongo. Higarana is just one of three of their writing system.
I'm Italian and I have a private course for Japanese... It's a beatiful language, I would like to go to university in Japan
WTF ARE ALL THESE LIKES?!?!? WOH!!!
@@m__6930 I have a short-term memory...But I'm doing my best to learn it slowly slowly. I would want someome that could teach me Japanese (from basics) for free. But i'm poor so, i can only try from Duolingo _-(Theyconstrictedmeplshelpme)-_ or from youtube videos and wikipedia
Nathaniel, you're dance moves are AMAZING!!! Hahaha thanks for this awesome video
I'm learning Spanish and Japanese and these tips are amazing. Thank you!!
You can't learn Italian in a week..

No matter the result Will be, it's a good way to motivate ourself in learning other language.

Gabriel Benato me too I am learning English by watching videos , hello from Saudi Arabia

I got 7 months studying english, my only actual problem as you can see is my bad written, i'm able to talk long conversations whit natives speakers, good luck ya'll guys, you can do whatever you want if you put all you efforts in order to be a better version of yourself
It works! Thank you so much. Thanks to you I became fluent in Italian in 6 month, and I never studied before! Grazie mille :)
As an Italian native girl myself I love the dedication and the effort you've put in this! It's really amazing!
I want to listen to your Italian skills so I'm watching your second video! Super nice! Bravissimo, è bello vedere che ci sono persone a cui piace la nostra lingua, buona fortuna con l'apprendimento della lingua italiana! Continua così!
Duolingo bird: keep it up and I'll give you back your little sister
It's even scarier when you don't have a little sister
*unzips pants*
Can someone please explain.I don't understand those jokes hahha
@Kam K 😂😂
@@retajalhelal5184 this is 2 weeks late but just incase you still don't understand these jokes, well basically it's how duolingo (that language app with the bird mascot) will send you notifications whenever you miss a day, reminding you to come and complete your language lesson for the day. Now people turned this into a meme, where they act as though the duolingo bird will 'kidnap your family' (or something on the lines of that) if you miss your lesson 😂😂
It's cool that you mentioned the 80/20 rule because it was actually found and popularized by an ITALIAN economist, Vilfredo Pareto.
Che nome di merda Valfredo 😂😂😂
Cazzo ecco dove avevo già sentito sta roba, super Pareto
What is the 80/20 rule
i wanted to pick up Spanish recently and found this inspiring video on language learning! thanks for this vid~
The way you sharing is about learning words but how you connect them to build the full sentences to talk
Title: I learned italian in 7 days
Me, without even clicking on the video: no you didn't
Same here...and i dont know why i actually watched this Video...a part of it...cause im learning languages and know that it is impossible. Especially in the way he did it...
His dad is Argentinian, let's say he already has a huge background for Italian. This being said, he is smart, has a special talent for learning languages, probably Argentinian Spanish is his mother tongue and loves it so I absolutely believe him.
@@amiquigonzales7917Argentinian Spanish is not his mother tongue, since I know from one of his videos, but he actually learnt it when was living in Argentina later in life
@@jollycomputer9748 I said "probably": all right it is not, but having an Argentinian father and besides having lived - even for a short time - in Argentina, makes a huge background for Italian. Even the rhythm of Argentinian Spanish - especially in the Buenos Aires area - is Italian, due to the massive italian immigration the country received during XIX and XX centuries. How they influenced Argentina is amazing, completely changed the face of a very Spanish society into an almost Italian one.
but trying is worth praising
An Italian girl, watching a man learn to speak Italian fluently, so she can start speaking English more fluently
An Arab girl , watching a man speaking Italian , so she can start learning Italian ( and improving my English in the same time 😂 )
I want to speak Italian fluently
@@bouchra6270 an Malaysian 🅱️oi learning italian while watching English speaking content
Me too as a girl currently learning italian. Wish me luck :))
I feel like it will be easier for me to learn since I know Spanish already, and I think some of the words are similar in some ways 😅
Eu me vi em você pulando e dançando para aprender italiano, para mim também deu certo hahahaha
Sucesso na jornada Nathaniel!!! Amo os seus vídeos!!
Love you man. Thank you so much for your videos
Your channel is blowing up, keep up the awesome work, you remind me of Matt D'Avella
Emm Enn Yup, well deserved, he was getting around 300-500subs daily, and last few days that number increased to 5k+
Mark my words he’ll be at 500k by June
DaniloF agreed!
@@mareikeneumann5320 he was like 33k last week! @@ judging how his edits/content are im glad hes taking off. :)
@@littlebill3419 I say 700k by June
Ah. You speak French already. That makes it 5x easier.
ahhhhhhhhhhh, i was doing what he was doing and im like why is it still so difficult
French it's a lot harder than Italian... But I think it's like this for me just because I'm Italian lol
i speak french and italian is pretty close to it but i still have some struggles remembering words 😂😂
And speaking Spanish 10x easier lol
Very true - French is lexically very similar to Italian, more so than Spanish is to Italian
"I like to approach everything in life with as much confidence as possible."
Thank you so much, this is amazing!
this is honestly the best language learning video i’ve ever watched
You must be new to this
I speak Spanish and wanna learn Italian, so I'm whatching a guy learning Italian speaking in English. xd
X2
I did the same. I speak Italian and I want to learn Spanish, so I watched a guy learning Spanish and he's speaking English ahah
@@analupu887 we should combine our knowledge (?)
@@Artemis_74 we definitely should😂
Little Nana oposite for me😂 im fluent in spanish and am learning italian
Could you do a video about how you're able to just dive into an any experiment you set your mind too?! You have such a unique ability of doing so!
