How Latter-Day Saint Missionaries Learn Languages Fast

🤯 Each year, 36,000+ new 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.

🤿 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).

I generally avoid talking politics and religion in polite company, but I was curious to learn more about how missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 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.
