Full transcript: https://blog.thelinguist.com/speaking-romanian (Summer Sessions # 4 will appear in a couple of days). Language learning has to be real and meaningful in order for us to succeed. We need to follow our interests, and have genuine interaction. The ultimate test, and reward, and great opportunity for a breakthrough is visiting the country. But we need to be prepared.

How well can you learn a language from scratch in two months? I put in about 2 hours a day working on LingQ and listening on my mp3 player. Starting the second month I had about 5 hours a week of online discussions with Romanian tutors. It helps immensely if the language has a lot of common vocabulary with languages you already know, as was the case with Romanian. I loved Romania and intend to go back.

According to psychological scientist and lead researcher Ram Frost of Hebrew University, the data from the new study clearly point to the latter. "These new results suggest that learning a second language is determined to a large extent by an individual ability that is not at all linguistic," said Frost."
