Fluent In 3 Months: How Anyone At Any Age Can Learn To Speak Any Language From Anywhere In The World (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Having seen Benny Lewis pop up around the net--particularly in the ads the internet chooses to give me everyday--I was curious to hear something substantial from him. The book is a really fun read that's mostly about tearing down the myths that languages are impossible for people without a magical language talent or who are not toddlers. Which is actually a really important thing, because probably the biggest problem with learning a language is hitting a wall and thinking it's impossible. I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't follow his personal methods, but then, he's very encouraging of that if something else works better for you. I can easily imagine that for many people this book could be the inspiration that gets them to learn a language, so good for him and it! Having tried to study a few languages with mixed success over my life, I'm always open to new possibilities for mastering a language. This book, for the most part, offers strategies that one can find in other language study courses. There are SOME innovative ideas that I look forward to trying. I got kind of tired of the author concluding most of his chapters and sections by directing the reader to his website-but that's probably because of the disappointment I experienced upon going there. No reflection on his book, however.I recommend giving this book a try before spending your money on a language course that will result in nothing productive.
