 What if I told you that you have everything you need to learn Chinese or any language fast, already in your head?We've all learned to speak our first language fluently as children, without fancy apps or AI. But for some reason, with all these fancy tools, it seems even harder to stay focused and learn a language. The truth is, you don’t need another app or AI tool, it’s not the answer to your language learning. These tools have become a distraction. The most powerful tool is one we already have, it’s your brain.The problem? We live in a world designed to distract us from reaching our goals and our brain hasn’t caught up. The good news? You’re already good at languages. You just need to tweak the fundamentals and build an environment that helps you learn instead of hurts you.This is the simple three-step system I used to teach myself Mandarin Chinese in just one year without grinding vocabulary and burning myself out. But before we fix the problem, we need to understand why it’s happening in the first place.The Problem with LearningYou keep studying, but it doesn’t feel like you’re learning.You keep memorizing, but it doesn’t feel like you remember.You keep highlighting, but nothing sticks.The problem isn’t your effort—it’s your focus.Whether it’s learning a language or learning any skill, learning can be broken down into two key steps: consumption (gaining knowledge) and creation (applying knowledge).Think back to when you learned to walk. We consumed first by watching our mom and dad walk and then we created by trying to walk ourselves, falling and getting back up.When you learned your first language, you listened to your parents speak (consumption), then mimicked their words (creation), first poorly and later fluently.We balanced consumption with creation.But today, that balance is gone. We live in an age of endless information, where consumption is effortless, addicting, and never-ending. We all carry $1,000 supercomputers in our pockets, designed to distract us, hijack our focus, and keep us addicted to passive consumption.We live in a world with an information obesity epidemic. Just like processed food is designed to make us crave more, cheap, flashy content spikes our dopamine and keeps us scrolling. It rewires our brains to crave stimulation, making it harder to sit still, read, or focus deeply. It’s the “brainrot” generation we’ve all heard about—hooked on hyper-edited videos, unable to concentrate without constant stimulation.But here’s the hard truth: You are what you consume. If you feed your brain junk, you’ll output junk. If you let social media hijack your focus, it will steal your ability to think deeply, create, and grow. You don’t have your own ideas because your mind is packed with other people’s ideas.If you don’t control your information diet, someone else will—and they don’t have your best interests in mindBut we already know the real key to learning. It’s not about how much information you collect—it’s about how much you retain, remember, and use with confidence. How do we do that?Learn Languages Faster in 3 Steps1. Stop Consuming the Bad StuffThe first step to taking control of your finances is cutting out debt. The first step to taking control of your life? Eliminating time debt.To learn languages faster, cut out the hours you waste on bad consumption.Bad consumption—mindless scrolling, endless distractions, procrastination—drains your time and energy. It takes up space in your mind, rent-free, keeping you stuck.I still remember a story one of my professors told during my first year of university in Canada. He was a doctor, fully aware of the dangers of smoking, yet he couldn’t quit. He tried countless times, but nothing worked. Then he had his first child, and everything changed. The thought of his baby girl breathing in second-hand smoke was unbearable. That was his breaking point. He quit cold turkey.This story stuck with me because it proves something important: change is hard, but with the right reason, it can also be easy.The same applies to quitting distractions and procrastination. We procrastinate because, deep down, we don’t have anything more important to do—or at least, nothing that feels more urgent. But when something truly matters—like my professor’s daughter mattered more than cigarettes—procrastination stops being an option.Your soul craves something more meaningful.The writer, Joseph Campbell, called it “following your bliss.” What does that mean for you?* Why do you want to learn Chinese?* What do you want to do with the language?* Where will you travel? Who will you meet? Whose life will you change?When you find your bliss—something bigger than just yourself—procrastination loses its grip. Wasting time on distractions won’t even appeal to you anymore.2. Consume the Good StuffTo help me learn fluent Mandarin Chinese, I surrounded myself with native content—podcasts, videos, ...
