Is there really “one best way” to learn a language? Joeru shares his real journeys with English, French, Korean, and Japanese — from cram schools to strict speaking drills — and why the most effective method is the one you’ll actually do daily. Expect practical, repeatable tips you can use on your commute, on a walk, or even in the shower.

In this episode, we cover:
– Taiwan context: when English study starts, and how cram schools shape habits
– Why adult learners need different strategies than kids (fluency vs. memorization)
– Speaking-first methods: heavy repetition, teacher-led drills, and pronunciation focus
– Simple routines that work: 重複同一句話 many times while waiting for the bus, walking, or showering
– Personal language paths: trying French/Korean/Japanese for curiosity, travel, and work
– Core principle: methods are personal — experiment, keep what sticks, repeat daily
