I make a lot of videos to surprise people with my /"perfect/" Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese and Fuzhounese) and since many people have asked about it, I wanted to make a video discussing my language learning methods, especially how I quickly acquire the ability to hold basic conversation in virtually any language (in yes, 24 hours or less). This is certainly not fluency, but it is a great building block to becoming fluent and an excellent way to start your language learning journey.

If you want to skip to the part where I talk about how to learn a language in 24 hours (avoiding my backstory on learning Mandarin in China), click to skip to 3:42.
