Whether you’re learning Japanese, Korean, Spanish, or any other language, you’ve probably noticed that everyone online has language learning advice. You're looking for the best language learning methods and the best way to learn a language, but some advice out there is great, some is outdated, and some just sounds good but doesn’t actually help you improve. In this video, I break down the most common pieces of language learning advice and rank them in a full tier list — from genuinely high-impact methods to the ones that are… a bit overrated. This isn’t a list of strict rules, but an honest look at what has actually helped me improve faster, stay engaged, and avoid burnout. Whether you're a beginner just starting out or someone who’s been studying for years, this should give you a clearer idea of what’s worth focusing on, what’s optional, and what might be holding you back. 📚 Try Migaku here: 📧 Join my newsletter: 💬 Join our community on Discord: 💻 Yomitan & Anki Setup: 🗣️ Kotu Pitch Trainer: ✍🏻 Core 2K Vocabulary Deck (Anki): Video Chapters: 00:00 Intro – Why Language Advice Feels So Messy 00:14 The Rules of This Tier List 00:33 D-Tier – The Common Traps Learners Fall Into 03:53 C-Tier – “Not Bad… But Not Great Either” 06:49 B-Tier – Methods That Actually Build Skill 07:19 Sponsored Segment – Migaku 08:19 B-Tier (Cont.) – Tools That Keep You Moving Forward 10:59 A-Tier – High-Impact Methods Worth Your Time 13:52 S-Tier – The Methods That Change Everything 17:13 What This All Means for Your Study Routine 18:01 Outro
