The Best Way To Learn a Foreign Language (Fast)

What is the best way to quickly learn a new language?

If you are thinking of traveling or moving to another country, then learning the language is probably at the top of your list, especially if you want to have any chance of integrating with the local culture. But if you’ve ever taken a language class in high school, you know how difficult learning another language can be and how long it can take. I’ve definitely been there, so in this episode, I’m going to share with you how I started speaking and understanding Spanish in less than one month and how you can do it, too!
