FAQ
How long until I'm fluent?
Conversational: 3-6 months daily practice. Professional: 1-2 years. Native-like: 5-10 years. Depends on language difficulty and practice intensity.
Should I use AI instead of a human tutor?
Both are valuable. AI for unlimited practice (24/7), human tutors for nuanced cultural context and accountability.
Which language is easiest for English speakers?
Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Romance languages). Then German, Dutch (Germanic). Asian languages are hardest.
How much should I practice daily?
Minimum 30 minutes daily beats 3 hours weekly. Consistency is king. Aim for 1-2 hours daily for fastest progress.
Can I learn multiple languages simultaneously?
Possible but slower. Focus on one until conversational (B1), then add second. Avoid similar languages simultaneously.
Do I need to memorize grammar rules?
Learn grammar implicitly through practice. Use rules to understand patterns, not memorize. Input beats explicit study.
When should I start speaking?
Immediately. Speaking from day one builds confidence. Don't wait until "ready" - you never feel ready.
