Chris Lonsdale explains in this short video some of the principles he has used to learn languages quickly and efficiently.  Much of what he says lines up with Comprehensible Input methodology.

Fluent in 6 months. The guy is dreaming. Oh, and yes I speak Chinese, and basically learned to by myself living in Taiwan. After all these years and existing in a totally Chinese world with nobody to speak English to, I am not fluent. I bet my Chinese is better than his.

I quite agree with you, Zippo, that he is delusional about how quickly you can learn a language. What I like about his talk is his advice about how you can help yourself learn faster; most of his points sync up nicely with TCI philosophy.

    Liu Xun (刘迅) is the Chinese identity of Paul Faust, who fancies himself a pretty dang good teacher of language.
