You pick up that A1 Textbook and the first thing you see is a conjugation table and a list of vocabulary words about the members of the family.  Ugh.  The beginning of learning a language is always the hardest and that's probably because it's the most boring.  You can't learn if you're not interested or not having fun.  But most people will tell you that you have to master the basics first in order to truly become fluent.  That's a lie.

In Episode 3, I'll talk about why you should forget mastering the basics and what you should focus on instead.
