In this live recording of the I Will Teach You A Language podcast on YouTube, I answer the question: "When is the right time to start speaking a foreign language?" I also answer: Why is this question asked in the first place? What are the most popular theories and methods? What are people's actual experience in real life with these methods? What is my personal perspective on the best approach to speaking? How can I get my question answered on the podcast or YouTube? Do You Have A Question?
