Who wants to spend months, years and decades learning just one language, when you can learn them all in only an hour and then you're done? After all, speed is the only thing that matters, right? Why waste any more time with Javanese, when you can move on to Gujarati.

Well, I read it, but I didn't actually see any specific instructions as to how one can learn a language in one hour. Darn; such a disappointment!

However, I would be quite interested in how one could "write a big and large submission" in a language that is similar to the one you want to learn, and then "finding the translation of your submission of your target language" for comparing. I figure if he can do that, he can somehow or another see into the future, as he knows what translations for his submissions he'll be able to find before he actually writes his submissions.

Seriously, what? I saw the thread the other day where this fellow was talking about leaving the forum, and I was a bit lost, as I hadn't seen his videos or any of the backlash toward him; having read this, I can see why he's being flamed to bits. Having spent untold hours on language learning, I'm utterly sick of reading advice from megasupermagical-polyglots as to how you can learn a language in an hour, or become as fluent as a native in a month, etc. I wish all of the people who seem to be in a great Language Race (I'm fluent in *80* languages, and I learned them all in 23.8 seconds each!) would go somewhere together, bask in their gifted language learning glory, and be quiet.

Meanwhile in the time it took you to write that post, I just learned three more languages. I now reasonably suspect that there is a strong possibility that I could be fluent in Huambisa, Tongan and Madagascar Sign Language. Next I am going to tackle the whistling language of the Canary Islands.

Yes, well, I have improved my methodology, and am now able to learn a language in 16 seconds flat. I've decided I'm going to spend the next few days learning all of the languages in this list.

Why wait until after lunch? I've already learned it, let's chat!

You can discuss the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a language learning method without making fun of any specific individual (first post in thread).
