How The French Foreign Legion Learns Languages Fast
🇫🇷 📯 🪓 Each year, thousands of men from all over the world join the French Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère). Most come for adventure. Some for a better life. Many to earn a French passport.
But no matter their reason for enroling, ALL candidates must accomplish one key thing by the end of basic training if they want to receive any of the Légionnaire perks: learning enough French to function as a soldier!
It turns out that most of these men arrive at the recruitment center in France unable to speak a lick of French, and yet manage to get fluent enough in mere months to understand orders, describe the workings of their HK416F service rifle, and have conversations with fellow Légionnaires.
So how do they learn so fast? And what can we non-Légionnaires learn from their method? These are precisely the questions I answer in this video.

- A final "r" is missing from the end of « l'extérieur » at 13:10.
