0:00I am going to show you the formula I follow to
0:02master each and every 1 of the skills of 1 language.
0:04First of all,
0:05in order to master the vocabulary,
0:07I start by learning the 1,000 most important words of that language,
0:10once I master them,
0:11I learn the second,
0:121,000 most important words of that
0:14language and when I am able to master them all,
0:17I focus on the technical or specific vocabulary
0:19that I may want to master for 1 particular thing,
0:221 job, knowledge,
0:23etc.
0:23Then with reading I start reading short texts,
0:26when I am able to understand them I read longer texts,
0:29when I have already read them I go to short books,
0:32then I go to longer books and finally technical or
0:35specific books on 1 subject that I want to deepen.
0:39To develop listening I start by consuming
0:41content with subtitles in the same language,
0:43then I start consuming content with subtitles and
0:45without them alternately 1 day with another day without,
0:48then when I have 1 very good listening I remove the subtitles
0:51completely and only consume the content without the subtitles,
0:54then I move on to readers where I listen to the
0:57language without any kind of visual reference,
0:59that is to say only through the ears.
1:01For writing I start transcribing,
1:03select 1 text and transcribe it by hand in 1 notebook copy,
1:07copy, copy.
1:08When I become practical I go to short sentences,
1:11when I am able to create them I write longer sentences,
1:14then I go to short texts and when I master
1:16them I start writing longer and longer texts.
1:19For speaking or speaking,
1:21what I do is to start reading aloud.
1:23When I acquire practice I start to implement 1 shadowing technique,
1:26that is,
1:27I listen and repeat,
1:28listen and repeat consciously trying to imitate what I am hearing,
1:31then I go to rooms where I practice with people in my own
1:34situation to be able to IR acquiring security and IR
1:37putting into practice everything I have learned in 1 safe place,
1:40and finally I launch myself to real situations,
1:43look for a job,
1:44travel,
1:44communicate.
1:45with native speakers,
1:46We understand how to divide languages by skills and not by levels.
1:51Languages are not learned by levels but by skills.
1:54You select each and every 1 of them and develop them effectively,
1:58increasing the difficulty in each skill.
