Introducing: Speak in a week free crash course (+ hundreds of inspirational speak-on-day-1 videos)

Time for a big and really cool announcement!

Yesterday, HUNDREDS of people started a new language project and posted a video of themselves speaking their new language on day 1.

Why? Because I just created a (completely free) video course on how to start a new language from scratch and have a conversation within a week.

I call it Speak in a week, and you can join this intensive course by signing up here (if you aren’t already part of the Language Hacking League - otherwise you would have already received the first videos).

Lauren, myself and the Fi3m team have been extremely busy behind the scenes for quite some time (while travelling almost every 2 days mind you), getting this incredibly in-depth course to speak your target language ready for everyone, and we are finally launching it this week. We are so excited and the initial test run has been absolutely amazing!

It’s called the “Speak in a week” course, and consists of a daily e-mail for 7 days with everything you could possibly need to know to have your first conversation with a native speaker of the language in less than a week from now. The conversation will be very basic, but your first step to launch you forward in your progress if you feel you can’t get properly started.

And it’s completely and utterly free.

Incredible results already from just day 1!

While this is a one week long course to have an actual conversation with a native speaker, I do maintain my “speak from day 1″ attitude, and make day 1 about creating your first output in the language that others can see. This is way more powerful than speaking aloud to yourself, because you are speaking to other people.

Even taking that first step and letting others see and hear you say “Hi, my name is X, nice to meet you, bye” can make a world of a difference!

You can see the hundreds of results of just that first day already right here on the official uploads page. It really is incredible to see so many people share their first ever public outputs of the language! It’s one big collection of beginner learners supporting one another

Please visit that page and offer encouragement and feedback (especially if you see your native language spoken by people for the first time in their lives, or if you see that someone is learning the same language as you!)

Here is just a sample of some really cool uploads:

Once again, here is that sign-up box. This will also give you weekly language news (more on that soon) that is tirelessly researched by Fi3m member Joseph, with contributions from myself and the rest of the team, from around the entire web.
