Principal of 10 years training（10年修行の法則）#1731
Yesterday, I went to a garage to have my car checked and changed my car’s tires from normal ones to stud-less ones. While I was waiting, I was reading a book by Ms Mutsumi Imai.
https://www.iwanami.co.jp/book/b226381.html
She introduced some scientific researches. According to them, in order for us to be an expert in a specific area, about 10,000 hours practice should be needed. If you practice something for 2-3 hours per day, it’ll take about 10 years.
I think this principle can be applied to learning foreign languages. If you want to be able to use your target language fluently, you would have to practice it for 10,000 hours. So, I think, if this principle can be simply calculated, if you study 10 hours per day, it’ll take 2-3 years for you to reach there, right? ^^
How many hours have you spent your time on your target language so far?

I think this principle can be applied to learning foreign languages also.
If you want to be able to use your target language fluently, you would have to practice it for at least 10,000 hours.
I read about it first in the book Outliers, author Malcolm Gladwell, who said that it takes roughly ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery in a field. However, I feel the quality of time spent in those 10k hours also matter......
Thank you very much for the corrections and comment! ^^
Yes, in this book, how you use your time (the quality of practice) is also important. ^^
So, in which field do you want to achieve mastery? ^^
The law of 10 years of untiring/sedulous efforts（10年修行の法則）#1731
Yesterday, I had my car serviced and the summer tires changed to winter tires.
While I was waiting, I read a book by Ms Mutsumi Imai.
本の著者にMsとかMrは不要。
According to them, it takes about 10,000 hours of practice for us to be an expert in a certain area.
そう言えば、藤井聡太は5歳のときに祖父母から将棋の手ほどきを受け、14歳2ヶ月のときに史上最年少でプロ入りを果たしましたね。
添削とコメントをありがとうございます。＾＾
そうなんですね。彼も1日2-3時間将棋をしていたとしたら、ちょうど10年くらいでプロになったということになりますね☆ ^^
If you practice something for 2-3 hours every day, it would take about 10 years for you to meet this basic requirement.
I think this concept/theory could/(can) be applied to language acquisition as well.
If you want to become fluent in your target language, you need to have practiced for 10,000 hours.
So, even if you study for 10 hours every day, it would still take 2-3 years for you to attain your goal, as far as calculations go, right?
How many hours have you spent on studying your target language so far?
語学にしても将棋にしても、のんべんだらりと10,000時間やればOKというわけではないので、極めるってのは難しいですね。
2-3 hours per dayは、「1日当たり2～3時間」の意味しかなく、1日おきに「1日当たり2～3時間」であっても、週に1回だけ「1日当たり2～3時間」であっても、per dayを問題なく使えます。
Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day five times a week.

従って、10,000時間を10年間でクリアするためには、every dayと明示的に書くのがポイントですね。
添削とコメントをありがとうございます。＾＾
なるほど、単に per dayでは毎日の意味はないんですね、、、。＾＾；気を付けます☆＾＾
こちらの本には、時間の「量」的なものだけではなく、どのように時間を使うかという「質」のお話も書かれていましたが、長くなりそうでしたので割愛してしまいました。＾＾；
She introduced some (pieces of) scientific research.
Hello Shiwasu,

Thank you very much for the correction and kind comment! ^^
