I know what it's like to have that passion to learn, but to find it hard to make progress.





I know this because I've been there too... as a complete beginner.





But I've got a different perspective now - I've been a complete beginner in seven different languages!





With each new language I've lived in different countries, used different methods and done things very differently every time.





They all worked... to varying degrees. But what I've learnt from all this experience, is that there are certain factors and habits that punch far above their weight when it comes to learning a language quickly.





In other words, to learn to speak a language fluently you need to do two things:





1. Focus on a few highly effective activities





2. Stay focused and schedule your time so that you actually do them





I know what it's like to want to speak a foreign language fluently, but to be confused about how to do it.
