I make lots of videos surprising people with my "perfect" Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese) and because lots of people have been asking about it, I wanted to make a video discussing my language learning methods, particularly how I rapidly acquire the ability to have a basic conversation in pretty much any language (in yes, 24 hours or less). This definitely isn't fluency but it's a great building block to becoming fluent and an excellent way to start your language learning journey.

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