Module four. In this module we're going to talk about the hex and the principles to make language learning depth bit simpler and more enjoyable for you. So in this video, we're going to talk briefly about the law of diminishing returns as it applies to word usage frequency. So as you might remember from the last module, we talked a little bit about word frequency. In the document, you may have noticed a huge amount of difference between getting to conversational fluency, which is about the 2500 3000 mark, and to about 10,000 20,000. We're talking about somebody who is beyond the native, the average everyday native speaker.

So it's, it's useful to keep that in mind. So that way, you want to start off and be very targeted, very specific on what you talk about what the people around you talk about. That way you can get to a level where you can converse, and you can speak without having to know 10,000 or 20,000 words like if your goal is to become an author In a foreign language, and that's fair enough, you can go on a different direction. But if your goal is to just speak and converse and to have fun and make friends, then you want to take a more practical approach, and ask different questions and look at hacks and principles and make the process more enjoyable for you. Because the more enjoyable it's going to be, the more you're going to do it, the faster you're going to get to that 2500 words.

Even if you get to 750. With the right words, you're still going to be having decent conversations to begin with, you're going to be able to make new friends, you'll get a sense of the other people, you'll start understanding on pardon body languages, and these other nonverbal cues that we often take for granted. So that's the law of diminishing returns as it applies to word usage frequency. And this module we're going to talk more we're going to delve more into principles and action. We're going to start with the 4070 decision making rule as it applies to learning language learning and how that will help you to know when to speak on your language learning journey. So thanks for listening, and I'll see you in the next video.
