Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World

Plan of Action
Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want
most.
All the best ideas in the world are worth nothing if they aren’t implemented.
That’s why you absolutely need to have a plan of action. Before you get
started on your project, be sure to keep these points in mind:
Decide precisely what you are aiming for. Have a look at a more detailed
explanation of the various levels of the CEFRL system at fi3m.com/cefrl
and decide which would be slightly higher than a safe target for you, so
you really push yourself. Pay careful attention to both what is required and
what is not required at that level.
Set aside a specific period, whether it is one, three, or six months, and
make sure your language learning project is your highest priority during
this time.
During your intensive learning project, make sure to focus on the biggest
issue you have and try to solve it, or greatly reduce it, with mini-missions
rather than going through a generic course, which may not be well suited
to the precise point you are aiming for.
If you do take on this project full-time, make sure to take breaks so you
don’t burn yourself out.
Announce your mission to the world, which establishes a chain of
accountability since your friends and family will then be aware of your

goals and can follow along with your progress. You can do this with
Facebook status updates, a blog, or your own log on the Fluent in 3
Months forum at fi3m.com/forum.
With all obstacles cleared, and a good plan of action for where you aim
to be throughout your language learning project, it’s time to start looking at
the tools that will allow you to accomplish this project. The first one is the
memory to absorb all that new vocabulary!
