🤿 In this video, I take a deep dive into one of the most intense (and SHORT!) language training programs in the world: the full-immersion experience at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah (and various other MTCs around the globe).
🤯 Each year, 36,000 new Mormon missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) receive just 6 to 9 weeks of language training—depending on the difficulty of their mission language—before being sent off to various corners of the globe.
I generally avoid talking politics and religion in polite company, but I was curious to learn more about how Mormon missionaries learn languages so quickly and what lessons the rest of us can apply in our own language learning adventures.
‼️Important: All commentary in the video is about language learning, NOT religion. Please be respectful and keep that in mind when leaving any comments below.
📖 LEARN A LANGUAGE THROUGH THE POWER OF STORY
If the Missionary Training Center isn’t an option for you, don’t despair! You can start learning languages right from the comfort of home with my story-based Uncovered courses.
Forget the boring textbooks and time-wasting apps and learn a language the natural, effective way with stories.
