“The benefits of becoming fluent in a foreign tongue are as underestimated as the difficulty is overestimated. Thousands of theoretical linguists will disagree, but I know from research and personal experimentation with more than a dozen languages that (1) adults can learn languages much faster than children when constant 9-5 work is removed and that (2) it is possible to become conversationally fluent in any language in six months or less. At four hours per day, six months can be whittled down to less than three months.” KnowsChildrenThreeLanguageHoursWorkFourMonthsBecomingSixBenefitsResearchAdultsDifficultyConstantTongueFasterDisagreeDozenSix MonthsTheoreticalExperimentationThree MonthsUnderestimatedFluentLinguists Author:Tim Ferriss

“Growing up in rural Utah had a lot of benefits, but in an environment that prized conformity, fit wasn't one of them. I ended up in my senior year with a 0.9 GPA, which I think you actually have to work pretty hard to get. In the exact same month they kicked me out of school, my girlfriend - still my wife today - told me she was pregnant. So, it was an interesting start to life: working 10 or 12 minimum-wage jobs; getting bored really quickly and quitting; having my in-laws - rightly - in full panic mode and thinking I had some kind of character flaw.” ThinkingYearsKindStillsHardCharacterTodaySchoolJobsLawInterestingGrowing UpEnvironmentWifeGrowingMonthsFitBenefitsMy WifeQuittingBoredGirlfriendFlawsConformityPanicPregnantMinimumSeniorIn-lawsMy GirlfriendMinimum WageUtahWere PregnantSenior YearCharacter FlawsGpa Author:L.
