Helping you learn your first foreign language stress-free

Laid-back Languages

Well, it's out!

Pretty sure I'll get some fiery feedback from #langtwt but I don't give a damn son!

If it helps one monolingual realise they CAN learn a foreign language, it's worth it

Feedback more than welcome

It's FREE ⬇️

@marbondarec too early to say! It is so beautiful, though!

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

@marbondarec lmao better late than never! ahha are people still using Twitter now? I decided to learn Greek instead of Russian in the end! How are you?

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

You do not need to try to remember words

In fact, the harder you try the tougher it'll be to do so

Just focus on creating an environment where it is easy for your brain to remember

Relaxed

Calm

Fun

This is how you get fluent in a language

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

You won't get fluent if you keep bashing yourself for forgetting words

Even jokingly saying 'oh I should remember this' is problematic

Why?

Because you kick yourself out of the flow state

Fluency is FLOWency

Ignore all negative thoughts and keep it rolling

You will never speak a language perfectly,

So stop trying.

Just enjoy the process of learning.

This joy is the secret that will get you to fluency

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

@thesonyakai Exactly. Feel free to check out the video I made talking about it

@davidicke We need @davidicke and @archaix138 on Rogan asap

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

Extremely excited to share this with you all!

I have been working on it for the past year

It is a book that will catapult you out of your mind and into your heart <3

All words point to Oneness...

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

@TwitWit313 100% ! It really does all add up

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

Consistency is King in the language learning game 👑

You don't need to smash out 6 hour study sessions to get fluent

Just remember this:

A podcast a day and fluency will stay!

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

F*CK it, here's how to get fluent in a foreign language

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

@Sylvi_ai_ 😊🙏

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

Unless you master listening

You will always struggle to get fluent in a foreign language

Some are naturally good at it, for those who aren't, it is a skill that can easily be learnt

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

Unpopular opinion (maybe)

If you don't have at least 3 solid reasons to learn a language

Don't bother starting

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

It PAINS me to see learners waste so much time on certain language learning apps

(No need to name names)

These apps will NOT get you fluent in a language

All they give is an illusion of progress that can do more harm than good if that's all you rely on

Spend more time LISTENING to the language and SPEAKING it with a tutor

This is how you learn languages

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

I can't bare to think what life would be like not being able to speak multiple languages

Being able to communicate in various tongues brings such a richness to one's world

Forever grateful to have given myself such a gift

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

I got good at rolling my Rs in Spanish when I stopped worrying about not being able to do it

Best thing that happened to me was having the p*ss taken out of me (made fun of) by my Spanish roommates for not being able to say:

"El perro de San Roque no tiene rabo, porque Ramón Ramírez se lo ha cortado"

It got a right giggle out of them every time I attempted it, and on each attempt, I got a bit better.

Now, I have ZERO issues doing the Spanish R

The lesson? Lean in.
