I speak 4 languages. People don't realise that to learn a language just buy the countries newspaper and memorize the words and their meaning. To learn a language you need to understand three thousand words of that language. A newpaper is perfect for this because it needs to be understood by everyone because the target audience is everyone and everyone has to understand it to read it.

Former intelligence specialist here. The CIA does not simply teach “spies” languages in six months. They can train people to learn certain easier languages in six months, such as Spanish or French. Other languages have longer training programs due to their difficulty. These include languages like Levantine Arabic and Hangul, which each take 18 to 24 months. It also depends on what the “spies” are doing. If you’re a military interrogator or SIGINT guy, you will be trained to a certain level. If you’re State Department attaché then you might be trained decently, but you’re going to learn a LOT when you get in country and start functioning in that culture.

Yep. 2 years. Had an acquaintance that was a language instructor.

I went to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA in the Marine Corps (mid-90’s) where my target language was Russian. They taught all languages there and that’s all you did was learn your target language by native speakers. All the services were there and all kinds of operators attending (Seals, Rangers etc. aaand people with suits on occasion that didn’t talk much, no idea who they were). He is right, I told a fellow Marine “I’ll kick your ass” (guy talk) in Russian and a Russian teacher walked by and said “A real Russian would not understand why you would kick them in their hindquarters? No, a real Russian would say (I don’t have a Cyrillic keyboard) I will dance on your bones!”

While your guest made great points, he's apparently never been in France. There's nothing unusual about a brown or black person speaking fluent French there. Walk down any city in France and you'll see black people that are French, They may be second or third generation Cameroonian, Senegalese, Kenyan, Sudanese, Ethiopian, etc., but they are French, born and raised. Same goes for Vietnamese people in France. As someone who is a polyglot, everything else he said is spot-on. Nothing is better than being immersed and no child on earth learns to speak their native language in the manner that is taught in schools. They learn by listening, then when they can finally speak, they mimic. I learned more in 30 days living in Germany, than I did in the previous year by studying books and watching videos. When you have to go to the supermarket or pay your utility bill or order food or make friends at bars and clubs - thrown right into the fire - in 30 days you'll be conversational. Not saying you will be able to dictate a recipe or tell someone how to fix their car. but you will be able to do everyday things. Same with Spanish. 3 years in high school and moved to Florida and understood hardly anyone! Worked in a seafood plant where everyone was Guatemalan, Mexican, Salvadoran, Dominican, etc. and in 30 days I was conversational. I was immersed. Those two languages combined with English allow me to read Portuguese and Dutch. I may only get 6 words of a 10 word sentence but that's enough for me to figure it out. I've used the same immersion process to learn Devanagari/Sanskrit and Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Before you say, "Well, you just must be one of those special cases of fast learners." I'll prove to you that that is wrong and YOU can learn a language fast: In 2017 I had 2 widow maker strokes with left me having to learn to walk, talk, tell time, count, know what year it is, etc. I have Aphasia still, I have memory issues from the strokes and CTE, etc. and I had to not only relearn English, but Spanish, German, and Sanskrit w/ Devanagari, but more pertinent to you: I taught myself to read Hieroglyphics after the strokes as rehab since the doctors said to use my brain in novel or new ways. If someone with brain damage can learn something like Hieroglyphics, YOU can learn a new language too. You MUST be immersed and you MUST understand that the tongue, ear, and lips are three different skills that only being immersed makes you use all three. Being able to read in another language isn't the same as being able to speak it, for example. REAL language is a back and forth. I say something, you say something. Get on Zoom or a website or TikTok or whatever and find yourself a social media pal that you can speak to. I bet in 30 days you will be conversational! Best of all is it's free!!!

My university kind of does this as well. We learn grammar in isolation first, then go straight to forming logical sensical sentences in the language (in my case it's Russian), so you get grammatically fluent in the case system, verb conjugation etc. It's a neat learning method, because unlike Duolingo, the stuff we're taught actually stick

They teach you a word and then put it in a grammatically correct sentence so that your ear and your eye get acclimated super quickly to the right way of saying things.

It makes me have my faith restored in humanity again. Get to know someones language. And you’ll see the best in them come out. In other words, when you realize this, put that thought into action.

So yeah, you can talk about the weather, what you did on holiday, the movie you watched last night etc, but you can't have an in depth conversation with your doctor about an upcoming procedure, or debate politics an so forth. Ultimately, if you can't switch to a more fluent common language (in most cases English) it is frustrating because you can't express yourself, but it also leads people to think you are an idiot.

Have you done a video on how Mormon Missionaries learn languages at the MTC?

Best way to learn a language for adults (best for academics or professionals): get a dictionary, translate a book you already know well. I improved my German very quickly translating faust.

Could never train to be fluent in a short time. Takes natural talent and a lifetime

You literally just mimic it it’s how I learned Spanish from working in a kitchen I can’t write it ,but I can understand it

We could learn and do what needs to be done if paid well. People need motivation.

True fluency is used for analysis of messages, recordings, and whatever else in the office. Or for creating fake messages, recordings, or documents to deceive others.

The problem is not saying the words but hearing the words when native speakers says something to you.

he just described.."blending in". watching a countries most popular channels must help?

I missed my calling . I speak many languages at a conversational level. I could have been in C.I.A. lol!

My method takes 4-6. I'd say it is more traditional fluency though

To y'all saying there are many brown/black people in France speaking French... I don't think it's just about David being brown. I think it's also about not being from a French speaking country. Plus, he probably used that example as a general example, which is why he referenced Vietnam too. He also mentioned being ambiguous, making him harder to categorize in France. I'm from an Arab country that's not North African. So, while I may blend in with Moroccans and Algerians in France, I'd still stick out a bit due to my slightly differing features and other characteristics.

What tool do they use tho? Or at least provide recommendations

DUDE WTF?? I watch many of your football videos and I find out you are a language master??

I took a Russian course and learned in 5 months fluent. The teacher was former CIA. $4,000 course though

What course did you take and where was the class located? I am actually very interested in this and would appreciate the information 👍🥰

There's absolutely nothing suspicious about an "ambiguously brown guy speaking perfect French with a South of France accent" in France

He's just coping about not being fluent

The video with audio off for anyone else?

How much I hate that final logo explosion really stands out from the rest of this video.

Probably many of the same techniques as Mormon missionaries when they go to non English speaking countries. They learn the language conversationally at least in weeks, in the Missionary Training Center.

i speak hundreds of languages. and i see and hear millions of things or atoms or vibrations

what is the napoleon quote he has on his wall? thanks

Man. I saw this dude in the Miami airport about a week ago. 😂

Yeah you should tell how an agency works!!

Remember when that guy snitched on a bunch of his class mates to his drill instructor.. forever a traitor

Is there an application that teaches operational language?

Laoshu505000 here on KZread was a polyglot who spoke 50 languages. He died in 2001 after he dating an FBI agent for a year. His videos are still up. RIP

This is so interesting. I was wondering if they used some kind of mental programming to do that.

No, they find people who are real, not bots, bot. There’s no secret, they find smarter people. Just like how to be a mechanic is by fixing things, not by going to school.

There's no such thing as ex-CIA

I should be a agent 😂😂

Are there any programs out there that are identical or mimic this CIA style that he is mentioning? I'd love to try it out.

I don’t know of any programs but you might like to look into something called The Natural Approach. There’s also extensive reading which is supposed to be a really good way to learn. When you read, it’s natural for certain words to be more common like: sit, think, walk, try, talk. It makes sense you’ll learn the most common words faster through reading.

@@benzun9600 Unironically, you're right. A lot of the students at DLI were Utah National Guard... i.e., Mormons, who had gone through language training at the MTC and served their missions, and now were in the military

Watch the documentary on the French foreign legion they have to spk French within 2weeks u need to be able to pronounce n know certain conversations even that early while hard special forces training what a team 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾💯👌

Case and point “chunking” just like spring Spanish teaches

I do have a little insight. In the Corps I had a buddy that was going to go into a different field (mos). They made him take this test that was basically gibberish but it was very predictive to who could learn a new language. At very least the CIA uses this test or something like it and also pick people capable of learning languages fast. Plus they are very demanding so it’s a sink or swim. Again this is based of military experience but can’t see that it’s be that much different than cia

The mormons do it in six weeks 😂. I lived in utah and yea the cia needs to step it up haha. They said immersion is the key.

I can’t imagine speedrunning Japanese or Chinese or Cantonese

Ik leren nederlands drie maand spreken. I learned to speak dutch in about 3 months. conversational. Yes learn the sentence structure and basic words then immerision.
