Changing Your Reality

The key to learning languages is easier than one would think. However, you must follow one simple rule. I will explain that rule with an excerpt of a well-known philosophical argument. This argument is depicted in its simplest to understand form in a loosely translated quote taken from the popular manga series out of Japan entitled, “Naruto.”

In the manga, there is a character who has the ability to cast illusions on his opponents, making them think they are experiencing something they are not (genjutsu). In the middle of a death match with his little brother he says:

“All people live relying on their knowledge and perception, and are thus bound to them.

Those boundaries are what they tend to accept as ‘reality.’ However, knowledge and perception are both ambiguous, so ‘reality’ could be nothing more than an illusion.

People live trapped by their limited perception, do you see?”

Well, do you see?

Before you embark on learning a new language, the very first thing you have to tell yourself is:

“I can learn [target language].”

Your reality before you learn is that you cannot speak your target language, but that reality does not have to be your reality, and it is not eternal. “Reality” can be changed, reshaped and in some cases destroyed. From this point on you will choose which reality should belong to you...

Many self help gurus and success coaches insist on the power of repetition. In such fashion, every time you begin an activity in your foreign language, you should tell yourself, slowly and calmly, at least three times:

“I know [target language]”

If you feel that is too much of a stretch, then repeat to yourself:

"I know a little [target language]”

It is important to reinforce the fact that you can operate in this language, inside of your subconscious mind - whether it is true or not.

As you say these words, imagine you are in the country where your target language is spoken, speaking to the people. You do not necessarily have to hear the conversation, but you can see, through visualization, that you are enjoying yourself, and living life to the fullest in a foreign land...

When you say this statement and imagine these events happening, you are exercising the bending of your old reality to conform to your desired reality. People like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are notorious for this ability.

Cosmic hogwash? As you repeat the process, daily, monthly, yearly, you will soon find that you have built up so much confidence inside of yourself that you will have the psychological edge over other language students who just come into class and expect some poorly underpaid teacher to infuse them with their target language through osmosis.

A young man, when asked about how he was able to lure so many women to him, especially when he did not have very attractive attributes, simply replied,

“When my confidence is on high, it doesn’t matter what I look like. I’m getting any woman I want to.”
