have you ever held a question in mind for so long
that it becomes part of how you think? maybe even part of
who you are as a person? well i’ve had a question in my
mind for many, many years and that is: how can you speed
up learning? now, this is an interesting question because
if you speed up learning you can spend less time at
school. and if you learn really fast, you probably
wouldn’t have to go to school at all.
now, when i was young, school was sort of okay but i
found quite often that school got in the way of learning
so i had this question in mind: how do you learn faster?
and this began when i was very, very young, when i was
about eleven years old i wrote a letter to researchers in
the soviet union, asking about hypnopaedia, this is sleep
learning, where you get a tape recorder, you put it
beside your bed and it turns on in the middle of the
night when you’re sleeping, and you’re supposed to be
learning from this.
1
a good idea, unfortunately it doesn’t work. but,
hypnopaedia did open the doors to research in other areas
and we’ve had incredible discoveries about learning that
began with that first question. i went on from there to
become passionate about psychology and i have been
involved in psychology in many ways for the rest of my
life up until this point. in 1981 i took myself to china
and i decided that i was going to be native level in
chinese inside two years.
now, you need to understand that in 1981, everybody
thought chinese was really, really difficult and that a
westerner could study for ten years or more and never
really get very good at it. and i also went in with a
different idea which was: taking all of the conclusions
from psychological research up to that point and applying
them to the learning process. what was really cool was
that in six months i was fluent in mandarin chinese and
took a little bit longer to get up to native. but i
looked around and i saw all of these people from
different countries struggling terribly with chinese, i
saw chinese people struggling terribly to learn english
and other languages, and so my question got refined down
to: how can you help a normal adult learn a new language
quickly, easily and effectively?
2
now this a really, really important question in
today’s world. we have massive challenges with
environment we have massive challenges with social
dislocation, with wars, all sorts of things going on and
if we can’t communicate we’re really going to have
difficulty solving these problems. so we need to be able
to speak each other’s languages, this is really, really
important.
the question then is how do you do that. well, it’s
actually really easy. you look around for people who can
already do it, you look for situations where it’s
already working and then you identify the principles and
apply them. it’s called modelling and i’ve been looking
at language learning and modelling language learning for
about fifteen to twenty years now.
and my conclusion, my observation from this is that
any adult can learn a second language to fluency inside
six months. now when i say this, most people think i’m
crazy, this is not possible. so let me remind everybody
of the history of human progress, it’s all about
expanding our limits.
in 1950 everybody believed that running one mile in
four minutes was impossible and then roger bannister did
