Thanks for sharing this video, Jeff.
Interestingly, I just had a conversation with my youngest who is now learning Korean. She's got a little bit of wanderlust and Russian doesn't have her attention right now.
For Korean, she's been mostly using Duolingo but we talked about getting something more serious - Looked at the different Assimil products - so it's interesting to see that Ardaschir is using this as his go-to. Obviously, my daughter doesn't have quite the same privileged (no negative connotations here) language environment and won't be reaching for a B1 level in 3 months.
I'm literally looking to buy her Korean material in the next few days. Timely video.
I also appreciated the breakdown of the study day over 3 months - 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4hrs. Shadowing, scriptorium, and "study" (a little vague). The middle part of the video doesn't interest me at this point - but I did see that Anki will be part of the vocab drilling. My daughter is 17, she enjoys the gamification of Duolingo, so she'll probably keep to that - she's also aware of other tools. But overall, I found the descriptions of the study plan to be very valuable and
What can she do in 3 months? Probably not much as she's not prepping for an exam or a specific target and this is casual learning. But she's pretty aware of the process. This is her 7th language (Italian and Russian are lower-level
skirmishes). Different motivations.
Traveling right now, I'll share the video with her when I get back to France.
