  • How to use the strategies of "Time," "Place," and "Target."
  • The critical importance of mindset and psychology in language learning.
  • Why TV shows are such an ideal language learning tool.
  • Why children's books and TV shows are NOT ideal for adult learners.

  • The most common mistakes language learners make.
  • Why you don't need to memorize grammar rules to speak a language well.
  • Why you need to practice ALL 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading & writing.
  • Why the language itself is not the hard part of learning a language.
  • Why you should avoid the "comparison trap" with polyglots on YouTube.
  • Why you shouldn't believe everything you think.
