KnowHow

How to actually learn a language

KnowHow is one section per language, covering how to start, how long it honestly takes, which parts are hard, and how to turn watching and reading into practice. Every figure is sourced and dated, and every method is one you can begin tonight.

Most language advice is either a motivational post with nothing in it, or a list of apps written by somebody being paid per app. This section is neither. Each language gets the same treatment: what the evidence says, what people who have genuinely done it recommend, and where the popular advice is wrong.

We sell a tool, and we say so on every page rather than pretending otherwise. What we do not do is pretend it replaces the work.

One language so far, 2 articles

More are being written. Each one lands only when it has something in it that the rest of the internet does not already say better.
