How to Use Your Short Attention Span to Learn Languages Faster

10/27/2025
In this episode, I'm going to talk about what is perhaps the most important thing when learning a language: time. I've studied Ukrainian for just under 180 hours, and while I'm not fluent, I can hold conversations. But getting that much study time in can be difficult. So, how can you study for 90 minutes (or more!) in a single day without getting tired?. I share four practical tricks that I personally used to hit my study goals: If you use these tricks, you can increase your study time to two or three hours a day and accelerate your progress much faster than you thought possible.

Finding Your "Best Way" to Learn a Language: Why Data Matters

10/25/2025
In this episode, I'm going to talk about the question I always get: "What's the best way to learn a language?" . I'll explain why I don't think there is one single "best way" for everyone. Instead, I believe the most effective method is one created specifically for you, based on detailed information and data about your learning process. I discuss the importance of measuring metrics like your pronunciation score , grammar accuracy , speech rate , vocabulary size , and daily study habits. This data helps us identify your exact strengths and weaknesses. But what happens when you get "overloaded with information"? . Using examples from my personal trainer and a social media strategist I hired , I explain how too much data can lead to overwhelm and cause you to do nothing . Listen to discover how you can gather this data slowly on your own , or why hiring an expert (like one of my tutors) might be a better option to manage the "burden" of information and keep you focused on what's most relevant .
