I’ll be joined by Brother Sam as we take a deep dive into our experiences learning Vietnamese while here in Vietnam.

You know already I only bring on folks who are top 1% best of the best Champions.
Sam is one of them.
He’s a very humble fella but you’ll be sure to find that with his deep character and intellect he spits gold.

Here is my website where I host this podcast along with a lot of other useful resources.

Now I don’t like sitting empty handed in an artificial recording studio.
This was recorded live at a classic Quan here in Vietnam.
This is what it sounds like.
If you hate background noise then this episode would not be worth listening to .

If you can get over that then you’ll be glad to know…

We cover a lot including:

How long does it take to get decent?
What does fluency mean? Actually there is no real definition.
What are the levels of language learning?
We also compare notes on some of our own strategies including:
The top 10 method
What are the top 5 questions all people ask you?
the checkpoint method –
The urgent top 10 today
Why does methodology not really matter but what does?
I ask Sam, “What would life be like if tomorrow you didn’t speak Vietnamese?
What are some of Sam’s key thoughts on his journey?
What is it like being in the expat bubble blind to 98% of the world?

What’s a good starting point and philosophy for you to make your life better while traveling the world?
Why is the Language the number 1 most urgent and relevant priority?

We hope you enjoy our sit down with Sam
