The Year Without English
GOAL:
 Learn Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean
METHOD:
 Avoid speaking English for the entire year, while traveling to
Spain,  Brazil,  China,  and  South  Korea  (roughly  three  months  each).  I
did  this  project  along  with  Vatsal  Jaiswal  (who  is  also  mentioned  in
chapter six
).


TIMEFRAME:
 September 2013 to August 2014
Notes and Discussion
Quantifying the level of proficiency reached in each language is a tricky task.
There’s a dual risk, both of exaggeration—implying a perfect level of fluency
when  that  is  probably  a  process  requiring  decades  of  immersion—and  of
downplaying. One person I talked to after the trip asked if I could “give a taxi
driver directions” even though this task only requires a few hours of practice,
not months. So with those difficulties in mind, I’ll try to estimate the level
that we reached:
 
SPANISH:
 Here I believe both my friend and I reached a roughly B2 level
after  three  months,  meeting  Benny  Lewis’s  standard  for  fluency
(although certainly not everyone’s standard). At that level, we had little
difficulty  socializing  for  hours  on  any  topic  in  Spanish,  although
certainly our accent, grammar and more formal speaking abilities were
not at the level of a native speaker.
PORTUGUESE:
 We were weaker in Portuguese than in Spanish, although
not substantially so. The two languages share a common base, so there
was  much  less  to  learn  than  there  had  been  with  Spanish.  We  could
make friends and socializing, but not quite as effortlessly.
