If you know Silva’s alpha state method they you may remember that he was reading poems to his daughter when she was in relaxed state. Your memory performs much better when you are relaxed and there is really no better relaxation state than one you can easily achieve with even basic hypnotic induction. When your logical mind drift off in relaxation and your right side of the brain activate itself and boost our imagination.

Drifting into sweet state of relaxing hypnosis is amazing experience and as soon as you taste it, you will love it. Once you get familiar with benefits of hypnotic trance and start enjoying higher energy levels, you can head out to discover new languages easily and fast. Taking half a hour nap after work can be very energizing and having excuse in form of language learning project makes it even more attractive habit.

Think that within three months you can expose your mind for more than 40 hours of new language and within just one year that time grow to even 150 hours. If that does not sound amazing for you then I will remind you that in that time you relax. You sleep or just stay with closed eyes, but your body and mind are resting and regenerating at faster rate. Hypnosis is tool that let you create room in your imagination and whenever you go inside you close the doors. That place is your learning and healing vault so you can spend some time to see it with as much details as possible. You can decorate your private learning room and spice it up by adding things you always wanted to have. You can access different languages in your mind by simply entering one of paintings you have set on the wall or by any other way you like. Imagination is the only limit so enjoy this place whenever you enter hypnotic state go in that place and have a short nap on extremely comfortable couch. By the way, that is idea for double induction which can make your trance even deeper. There are no limits so why you would not you lay down and relax even more? You can always have few minutes before you start your language learning lesson and use that time to think about successes of your life. Just do this and you will improve your comprehension rate in a drastic way.

Learning new language is great opportunity to expand your options for career and achieving it with hypnosis is one of better ideas. Most of all it’s very effective and you can rest while you do so. Let me get deeper into our subject as more things deserve few words about them.

First, get yourself a good hypnotic script and create recording. You do not need to spend money for some relaxing hypnosis as you can prepare script by yourself. It is very easy and at the end of that article you will find a link to example of hypnotic trance script. For the second let’s say that you already got one, what now? Get audio recording software or use one in your operating system and record the script. Before you start recording, think about images and memories that calm you down, but include also things that make you feel sure of yourself. Speak slowly and lower down your voice at the end of each sentence. Your hypnotic script might be only five minutes long, but after you use it few times you will notice that it lets you get into deeper trance more easily. Once you have got your auto-hypnosis script recorded you can set it in audio player right before language learning CD.

Presented methods are extremely effective and do not require expenses other than language learning material. I wrote it so you realize that hypnosis can be used with great success not only in area of phobias and clinical cases, but also in personal growth. Hypnosis is outstanding tool and you are the one responsible for decision on using it. I know that it sounds serious, but I realize that personal development and learning are things that can change your life dramatically. I am learner for life and I highly advise you thinking about taking similar attitude.

Contrary to common thinking, language learning need not be confined to a classroom or when you fire up your favorite language software. Fact is, there are dozens of opportunities for language learning right in your fingertips. Here are some of them:

1. Pen pals. Every time I open Craigslist, I see tons of people all over the world looking for people to talk with over email, chat and other mediums. Don’t worry, not all of them are naked, hairy men in their mom’s basements. In fact, many of them are just looking to practice their own language skills like you. Why not connect with those people and get some applied writing done in your target language?

2. Restaurants. When you’re learning French, try visiting a French restaurant in your locale; same with Italian, Dutch or any other language you’re trying to learn. While language training is probably not part of the menu, there are tons of things you can pick up from there. Sure, the waiters probably speak only local like you, but the menus will frequently have translations in both English and the target language (you can compare), there will be signs and decors in the target language (most of the time, you can ask the waiters and they’ll know what it means) and many of the customers will likely be native speakers (if you’ve been wondering where to find fluent speakers of the language near you, here’s a good place to start). Most of the time, the manager or the owner will be someone who actually speaks the target language too. You can pester them and they’ll be nice to you – you’re a customer, after all.

3. Foreign films. Hit the local video store and rent a film in the target language. Heck, visit YouTube to find videos recorded in the language you’re learning and you’ll probably turn up a lot of results. The experience of watching native speakers interact will boost your acquisition manifold, even they’re just acting.

4. Children’s books. If you can find children’s books in your target language, they will likely be very good tools for early-level language learning. Geared towards building the foundation for language skills, publications like storybooks and primary school reading textbooks will prove to be excellent additions to your arsenal of learning materials. Try to contact the local embassy for the country you’re trying to learn for suggestions of libraries you can visit. Some of those books are also likely to be online.

It is very important to have the right expectation when you start to learn a language. How long it will take you to become fluent depends on a few factors:

Factor 1: What do you define as fluent?

“Fluent” means different things to different people. Do you want to sound indistinguishable from a native speaker? That is a feat that not everyone can achieve, and if you are to achieve it, it probably means you will have to move to the country where the language is spoken and immerse yourself for years.

But if you want to be able to have a well-flowing conversation with a native speaker, that will be possible in a much shorter time. You can learn up to 80% of a language relatively quickly, but the closer to 100% fluency you want to get, the more effort you have to put in.

So how long does it take you to get to 80%? It depends on the other factors below.

Factor 2: Which languages do you already speak, and which language do you want to learn?

If you are Japanese and want to learn Mandarin, you have the advantage that much of the Chinese characters (“Hanzi”) are very similar to the Japanese ones (“Kanji”).

If you already speak French, it is much easier to learn languages related to French, such as Spanish, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese. In the Netherlands, there are special Dutch classes and learning methods for people from Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. A German friend of mine picked up near-native sounding Dutch while playing with Dutch friends on the street.

Conversely, if you are a Westerner wanting to learn Chinese, it will take you much longer because of the totally different structure of the language and the lack of recognizable words. It is possible to learn the language, but it will take you at least double the time of learning a related language.

Factor 3: How much time and effort can you bring to the table?

Being realistic when you start out learning a language helps to avoid later quitting in disappointment. A major factor in learning languages is how much time you are willing and able to put into it. In mathematics, there may be wonderkids who can simply “get” complex equations almost instantly, but learning a language is hard work, even for the most gifted language learners.

Do not just count how much time you can spend sitting in a classroom, also think about how much time you can spend revising between classes. Are you in an environment where you HAVE TO speak the language? Do you have roommates whom you can only converse with in the language you are learning? Do you watch movies or try to read books in the language you are learning? All of these things count towards your time spent learning and really help you to speed up the learning process.

Factor 4: Are you passionate about the language? Are you good at learning languages?

In my life, I have taken classes in English, German, French, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Latin and Mandarin, and in each of these classes, I have seen some fellow learners pick up the language faster than others. It is a matter of how our brain works. Some people are simply better at reproducing sounds and seeing patterns in languages. It also helps if you have learnt other languages before, even if they are not related to the language you are learning. The 3rd language you learn will be easier than your 2nd language.

Conclusion

How fast you will become fluent in a certain language depends on a number of factors, such as:

What you define as being fluent; How related the language is to your native language; How much time and effort you can put into learning the language, and Your passion and aptitude for learning languages.

You might have hoped to get a number from me as an answer to this question. To give a very broad estimate, I would say 80% fluency can be achieved in a matter of months if you dedicate yourself to it full-time (a few hours every day). If you only have a few hours every week, it will take you 1-2 years to hit the 80% mark.

Learning a foreign language can be a daunting task. But when we break it down, it’s really a numbers game. How much time you are putting into it and how many words do you know? In most cases, you will require a few hundred hours of study time and overall 2000-3000 words of active vocabulary to be conversational with any hope of one day being actually fluent.
Once you learn it to that point, it pretty much becomes self-sustaining, if you maintain it and continue to use it.

This sounds like too difficult a task for someone who casually says “hey i’d like to learn spanish!” but the reality is, you can learn to speak a language at a daily conversation level much more quickly if you apply a few additional techniques to
supplement your language method or class. You can be functional with a lot fewer words and you can significantly reduce the number of hours necessary to learn the foundation of the language.

Flashcards Pound for pound the single best and most efficient use of your time when learning a language. Ten
seconds of free time becomes a quick quiz – whip card number one out of your pocket “what is the spanish word for … food? comida? flip the card over … correct!” Two minutes is a major review session. Look at it this way – if you spent ten seconds on one word, for two minutes – that’s twelve words in two minutes. Twelve words a day for five days a week is 3000 words in one year. All the words you need to be conversational in just two minutes a day. That doesn’t account for grammar and pronunciation, but still – one year to learn all the vocabulary you need. Don’t say you don’t have time to learn a language. Remember this the next time you are on line at the bank or the grocery store, doctors office, waiting at a red light etc.

Read Once you have some basic understanding of the language, get some reading material. Here’s the important part – something you are interested in. If you’re into gardening then get a magazine or print out an online article on gardening in your target language. You’ll be learning vocabulary and phrases that really interest you, and that will help you pick it up that much quicker.

Audio If your language method doesn’t have an audio component then get one. If it does then get another one
anyway. Hearing the language is the most important aspect of learning if you intend to speak it. Give yourself opportunities
to use it during otherwise non-productive times like while driving or just relaxing.

Internet Radio Following the above advice, give yourself more (and free!) opportunities to hear your new language. Radio can expose you to new vocabulary and fresh content daily. Don’t overdo it with your one audio cd. Mix up your audio with other sources, and constantly changing ones like music and internet news broadcasts from other countries. The more sources you have to hear from, the better.

Daily Contact This is probably the cardinal rule when it comes to learning languages. You must expose yourself to the language every day if possible. Studying ten minutes a day is better than cramming for an hour once or twice a week. Frequent review, even if only a few minutes, is essential. This is true for maintaining a language after you have learned it too. Long periods off are deadly.

Penpals Use the power of the internet to hook up with other people around the world who speak the language you are learning. They can help you immeasurably. You can help them with English and they can help you with your target language. There are plenty of free sites and forums to find people who will be happy to work with you.

Study With Others Studying and practicing with other people can give you instant feedback and interactivity that
you just can’t get from a book or even audio or software. Even if you only know very little, you will absorb it quicker and with more enjoyment than just studying alone. Ultimately, that’s the purpose of learning a foreign language anyway – to
communicate with other people.

So, try applying some different techniques to your language learning regimen. You will probably find that you can add a few
techniques without requiring any more time from your already overtaxed schedule. You may find that you can actually use
less time studying as you streamline your learning process. Learn to learn more effectively and remember to keep your eye
on the goal whether you put a number on it or not.

Learning any language including French can be a worthwhile challenge. Once you get started what steps can you take to increase and speed up your learning? What I will show you here is some of the tips and strategies you can use to speed up your French language learning.

Trying to lock yourself away in a room studying French is not going to help you speak French fluently. We all need help at some stage of learning a language. Having the ability to think in French is a great way to speed up the learning process but you need to branch out further if you really want to master the French language.

You Need Help
Learning any language completely on your own is not possible, and to make matters worse you will reach a stage where you can go no further without help. The best option is to do a French course to help you structure your learning of the French language, and many courses now come with support and help packages.

If you want to learn French fast then signing up for an online French program is the best option. You will get all the learning materials with the course, and most important a support network to help you make progress. It will not be long before you are not only speaking French but also learning to think in French.

Thinking in French
Thinking in the French language is a must if you want to learn French quickly. You can practice this right from the start by thinking what French words you would use throughout your normal day. If you are doing some shopping practice how you would say things like, “how much is this?” or “where can I find….?”

If you work, you can think about what tasks you need to do and how you would pronounce them in French. If you are a sales person think about what words you would use to speak to a customer in French, or if you are in construction think how you would ask a French person to pass you a hammer, or a hand saw.

There are many opportunities you can use each day to practice thinking in French, and once you start to do this on a regular basis your grasp of the French language will increase in leaps and bounds. It will not be long before you are going to need to stretch your learning even further by branching out and away from the basics of the language.

Advanced Study
To reach a better level in speaking French you will need to expand on what you have learned at the basic level. There are some very good advanced level courses on the internet you can make use of. Another option is looking at possible advanced classes at local colleges in your area. You could even start having French newspapers and magazines delivered on a regular basis to expand your knowledge of the language.

Getting help with your French language courses is something that you will need at some time or another. Once you have mastered the basics and make use of thinking in French, to prevent you from becoming stale, and to increase your knowledge you are going to have to think about taking advanced French lessons or courses.

The more experienced and fluent in the language you become the more enjoyment you can expect to get from it. With time this could even lead to you setting up your own home business as a French translator or even teaching the language yourself.
