Looks like it’s not! :wink:

But that’s my personal viewpoint, anyways! :wink: Waaaay to simplified and primitive approach to such a purely formalized issue as language acquiring ! =)))

Notice, I never call it ‘learning’ ! :wink: As it is possible to ‘cram up’ whatever you want, however, it has nothing to do with any legit acquiring! :wink:

It’s not how many hours, it’s how you use those hours. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi ! =)))

Chris Lonsdale gives some great insights into learning any language in 6 months; he relates how he learned Chinese in 6 months - including writing letters in that time. Check out:

If you want to hear him give the same talk in Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BENA8QSPmLY
