Hello, i've seen a lot of people give advice to 'Start speaking from day 1' when learning a new language(TL) and I dont understand the advice because how can you speak from day 1 when you dont know any vocabulary words?

Does it mean you just memorise basic vocabulary and just start speaking to others? And how do you (or anyone whose tried this tip) mange? How did the anxiety go away (or the 'fear of making mistakes') and do you think it worked for you with the new language?

Hello, ive just seen a video of a person speaking 7 languages and while 2 of those languages are their mother's languages, the rest is learnt (TL). I dont know how fluent they are in the other languages but they do seem to hold a grasp of it and im wondering how is that possible? I can barely handle learning one language consistently while leaving the other languages by itself until i get actually get myself to sit down & learn it
