The best book on language. Must buy

I read the first 100 pages of the book, but already I can say that it is worth the money. The book brings solid ideas on why you might be failing to learn a language and what to do with it.

All the ideas for language learning are still up to date. However, reading it in kindle made it a bit distracting to go back an forth to the references and the appendix.

le doy 4 estrellas porque al final el te termina recomendando lo que el vende y el precio es un poco caro para nosotros los que vivimos fuera de estados unidos, pero creo su método es bueno el no lo inventa pero lo expone muy bien y también da herramientas gratis que me son de bastante ayuda... volveré a escribir después de 6 meses de intentar aprender los idiomas italiano y francés.

I was born in the US, which means I was proficient speaking English but no other languages. I moved to Europe, and learned German the "hard way," meaning that I did it without really taking meaningful lessons, speaking English most of the time but wanting to speak German. Then I learned a smattering of Russian via audiotapes, which worked ok for directions and restaurants (my husband would like more milk) but not so much for conversation. Now I have taken a job in Slovakia, and there just are not many resources out there for a "small" language with many bigger cousins. Cue Fluent Forever.Positive:1. I really enjoyed reading the book and the author's style. Light hearted and funny. Really a joy to read2. I am 100% sure that the system will work as advertised. completely convinced that someone will learn a language in record time.Neutral (real life)1. There are no shortcuts in life. Same here. The system requires to painstakingly create flashcards by hand or via a program called Anki. And then practice daily. The end result will be to learn the language as quickly as possible. It is just A LOT OF WORK. And that is the difficulty. It takes an incredible amount of discipline to use this system.Negative1. The web tool the author recommends - forvo.com - no longer allows the downloading of audio files for the correct pronunciation. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but it would be nice if the author updated the website to indicate this.I have started and stopped several times. I am starting again now. It might be easier when learning the language is an absolute necessity, or for a person of leisure who has extra time to drudge away creating and practicing flashcards. The reality (for me) is that the international language of business in English, so it difficult to justify the time investment because I want to build a business and want to devote as much time as possible to that, let alone spend quality time with my family.Having said that, I would recommend this book without reservation for anyone who REALLY WANTS to learn a language. Having tried a few different ways to get somewhat proficient at a few languages, this way is certainly the best that I have experienced. If only I could do it myself.

I feel like I have been learning Italian forever. I first went to Italy for three months in 1968 to work - that's a clue about age. But after a visut for a week at guitar camp up in the Dolomites, I realised I needed to work hard to get fluent. So I went the traditional route and started lessons at the local college. well, that didn't come out too week as I got ribbed the next guitar workshop about what had I been doing - Italian still really poor. And oh dear - the same the next year! So started this year's study with a new vigour and came across this book. Wow what an uplifting read. I immediately started doing the flash card exercises and noticed the difference in less than a week - noticing that there had been words I should have know easily by now that we're troubling me. The book will recommend you get a simple phrase book - Lonely Planet Italian, flash cards or an app like ANKI to do the same on a phone, tablet, or PC, a simple grammar book (unlike my tome written for Cambridge language students!), and a study diary. You wi,, still need a teacher at the beginning minimum.The book lays out a clear plan to follow and simple tools to help progress. (My teacher was exasperated and said I have been telling g you this stuff for years - maybe it's something about how it's been laid out in the book - but I must have been sleepwalking when the teacher told me!)Well worth buying if you are serious about crashing through the learning barriers and getting good, fast. The author even gives you the plan so for becoming fluent in 90 days - but you'd be doing a good three hours a day. If you want a set of tools for learning efficiently, they are all here. No easy fixes or tricks, but like me you will Lear what to do, in what order, and how much, and finally feel confident you are investigating time and effort on the most efficient route.I think the nature of what you do with a book like this lends itself better to a physical book rather than an ebook.

While this book does not teach you any language, it does teach you a strong process for going about to learn your language of choice.The first bit is how memory works, not so much a mnemonic memory system like Harry Lorrayne or Domenic O'Brien, but rather the basics of memory such as cramming for tests and the results thereof. The idea it presents, is that the longer we go before attempting to recall information, the better it will stick in the long-term (if we're still able to recall that information).The core of the book is a memory technique called SRS (something like Strategic Recall System). We basically construct flash cards, with an image on one side and our word (or phrase, gender, context, grammatical rule, etc) on the other. There are several 'levels' in the system, with new material placed into 'level one' on a daily basis. Anything that is reviewed successfully moves up to the next level. Anything that has been forgotten gets moved back down to level one. Level one is cleared each day (worked through until everything is in level two). Over time, various levels are worked... Day 1, do Levels 1 and 5. Day 2, do Levels 1 and 3 and 7... (or whatever, I just made those up). The rotation is complete every 64 days.If you remember something successfully, at successively greater delays, after enough repetitions it is part of your long-term memory. Anything that was previously remembered but has been forgotten, will be easier to learn the second time (as demonstrated in the early sections of this book), so having the answer to whatever you're attempting to recall... available as an immediate reminder (on the opposite side of your flash card), reinforces the connection.This book details where to get your images, which words to go for first, which languages are easiest/hardest for a native English speaker (which doesn't imply you cannot go for a harder language first). It details the importance of the sounds of the language, and how to learn to differentiate between (currently) very similar sounds, until your ear naturally recognizes the distinction between them. It (and the authors website) has free recommendations on tools (not free) for your language, for example a pronunciation guide, and grammar guide, a phrase book, a frequency dictionary, etc... that are good options for your language. The author's site has free tools, for listening to numerous languages.The approach is logical and the reasons for that approach are explained. I've decided to pick up French and Spanish, as an exercise in keeping my mind active. I'm already looking ahead to which additional languages I'd like to do next.
