About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick.
 
“A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero
 
At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered.
 
Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. 
 
This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

the author of this book doesnt give any unique techniques to learn English on the contrary he or she lives abroad and explains the dramatic way to learn the language having some difficulties. no doubt If I lived abroad I would have become fluent in any language! so the author makes a kind of advertising by going online her or his website to purchase a course whatever...

I literally devoured his book. I've been backing him up since the early stage of his kickstarter project and now I read through his book and it just confirmed my impression. He knows what he's talking about and he has it mostly all figured out. There are some amazing resources in there and a very straight forward methodology. He guides you step by step and helps you with everything he can. But mostly he gives you the tools to do all you can alone, and this is exactly what you both want and need. Kudos !
