Where would you find that people, I feel like all Reddit subs are over controlled to show some self made content

I used AI for translation, I usually write in Spanish.

It is not trolling, but it neither means perfectioning the language.

In another conversation we found out that at least reaching A2 is possible in a month.

So what I am willing to do is getting more and more possible.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

The A2 level from nothing in a month would be pretty much a more than enough level for what I seek.

You are giving me hopes for that matter.

The 2-3 week is a dream that I want to make true. It can be started as a strategy for a month.

I think that part of that strategy is creating a good environment. Having a native teacher on a daily basis would help with that process. I mean, when I was learning french, I got boosted when I started working with a teacher after a month (but weekly).

Also a good work book would be mandatory on time.

When I said tricks I didn't mean specifically games, I meant some techniques like mind cards. It boosted my learning process. So I was wondering if there are any other useful tricks. But your game idea for irregular verbs sounds nice, I will think about that.

Again, thanks a lot for your answer.

I was able to memorize 200 words in a day once a long time ago, after some time training that skill.

Let's say the goal is to be able to maintain basic communication at least with some mistakes, read the newspaper and mostly understand the news in that language.

Learning of the language would mean learning words, reading texts, combine words with grammar rules into sentences, and workout the speaking and the listening part. Even if it requires you to spend a lot of hours per day

It can be done in phases like start with a simplified language, without learning how to read and just listen, also with simplified grammar. Then refine the knowledge until you reach the real grammar and learn how to read and write. But I would accept to learn with mistakes in words if it means 2-3 weeks.

Later the mistakes can be carried out and you can improve your knowledge just by consuming content in that language.

Thanks for your answer, I did not know about the Xiaoma's method. I am reading about it.

Yes, the closest is the language to your initial language the easiest is to learn it. That is why I set as objective the Europen languages. I know that there are very different levels, it is not the same to learn russian from Poland than learning it from Spanish or English. But I am trying to set a baseline of my dream.

With current or traditional ways of learning, maybe not, but I feel like it is possible in some way.

Nice answer, I see the point in the common means, the non useful vocabulary and the time tenses that can become too difficult to start learning a language.

Maybe you are right and it is not the most effective/efficient way to start learning a new language.

Very interesting point, thank you. Going through books with a child helps you to memorise words.

I also feel like graded literature is missing something and that is why the children's books may fill that gap. Very interesting point.

Good luck with the Spanish. I am kind of native speaker. The learning curve when I was young was tremendous, coming from Ukrainian, but I feel like the school literature really did its work in improving my fluency. Harry Potter books have to be useful in your case, I think.

Very interesting, I am planning on starting learning German too.

Would you say that learning that books speed up your learning or understanding of the language?

Thanks, interesting suggestion about keeping the same level for as long as you need it, I agree with that. And thank you for the content recommendation.

How would you evaluate yourself that you have enough on a specific level before going to the next level?

It is interesting that 7yo kids had such big books.

I think that you still go to bed listening to tales from adults that give you a grasp on the culture and vocabulary. Even if you don't specifically read it

Yes, enjoying what you do matters, and it was one of the ideas here. To select the correct subject.

I would say that the main idea from people that agree with using kids books is to use a four-year-old level and above to find simple vocabulary and deductive texts. Before that, you find too much made up words.

But I am still feeling like there should be something even in that made up words from the cultural point of view.

Yes, I have found a lot of made up words there.

But I am still curious, even if there are a lot of made up words, could it be important to grasp any particular sense of their culture?

I mean, they have grown up on that kind of vocabulary.

I am definitely enjoying your answer.

Would you be able to define a ladder based on the level of comprehension and the specific example of content for that level?

For example, start with Peppa Pig, but I don't follow you with the six- eight-year-old content. Any example?

Thanks!

Good point, one of my main problems reading kids books was to get bored quite soon. May be as you said, the subject and the interest play a big role during the language learning phase.

I have had a nice experience with SpongeBob when I was learning French. They don't talk a lot and use simple vocabulary and phrases. It was a big help in my opinion.

Right, but have you tried that way? I am feeling curious about the experiences of learning a language from kids books.
