About this title

Synopsis

The bestselling guide to learning a new language and remembering what you learned, now revised and updated. <p/>Gabriel Wyner speaks seven languages fluently. He didn't learn them in school--who does? Rather, he mastered each one on his own, drawing on free online resources, quick daily practice sessions, and his knowledge of neuroscience and linguistics. <p/>In Fluent Forever, Gabe shares his foolproof method for learning any language. It starts by hacking the way your brain naturally encodes information. You'll begin by learning how to hear new sounds and training your tongue to produce them accurately. You'll connect spellings and sounds to images rather than rely on translation exercises so that you start thinking in a new language. With the help of spaced-repetition systems, you'll build a foundation for your language in one week and learn hundreds of words a month--with just a few minutes of practice each day. This revised edition also shares fresh strategies that Gabe has refined over years of study. You'll learn how to: <p/>

• Use your interests to curate vocabulary that you'll actually be excited to study
• Pick up the subtleties of your target language by conversing with native speakers

• Fast-track fluency with a new appendix devoted to conversation strategies with native speakers

• Compile the best language-learning tool kit for your budget

• Harness the science of motivation and habit building to turbocharge your progress

• Find the perfect level of difficultly with reading and listening comprehension to stay engaged and avoid frustration

With suggestions for helpful study aids, a wealth of free resources, and summaries to reinforce important concepts, the intuitive techniques and easy-to-find resources in this book will offer you the most efficient and rewarding way to learn a new language.
