Publisher's summary

Do you want to develop the ultimate mindset to master a foreign language quickly, without memorizing lists of words and actually having fun while you do it?

Language learning is seen as something incredibly difficult, and most speakers of English are brought up with the idea that we English speakers just aren't good at learning languages.

Many have tried and failed. We shudder when we think back to high school classes, textbooks full of verb tables, and long lists of words we were required to memorize.

But what if this isn't the true story?

What if you could easily learn a new language and have fun doing it?

What would you pay to be able to do that?

In this book, I pull back the curtain to reveal the mindset and methodology of a polyglot. This book will dispel the myths, lay the foundations of the correct mindset for success, and inspire you to commit to learning that language you've always wanted to master.

Here's what you will discover:

  • Why you think learning a language is difficult
  • How children learn languages so easily
  • How to go about learning a language
  • Five proven ways you can build your language knowledge
  • The best way to get vocab into your long-term memory
  • Why learning a language is actually fun. Sometimes rib-crackingly hysterical!
  • How to become aware of your language
  • How I learned Italian in one week!

In this book, Ryan will take you through his personal journey learning five different languages, reveal the methods and tricks he used, and set you firmly on a course to fluency.

If you want to shortcut the mental blocks, avoid rote learning altogether, and think like a polyglot from day one, then scroll up and click the "buy now" button right now!

Total Mindset Shift

This was written by an author who has truly experienced what they teach. I found the book interesting and useful. I am working to learn (or relearn for high school) Spanish for a trip I am taking this summer. I'm not finding a lot sticking so I decided to try this audiobook and see if maybe I need a mindset shift.

I liked the five tip you can use to build language knowledge as well as the section that discussed how to keep the vocabulary in your long-term memory, which is what I am shooting for.

Different and Unique!

I have always struggled with languages, and I finally know why. Other programs go straight into memorizing different words, but this author approaches it from a very different perspective. I loved the discussion on why children can learn languages so quickly. If you are looking to learn a new language or have struggled with it in the past, you will love hearing Ryan's story and will finally have the correct guidance to learn a new language.

Amazing tips for language learners!

Anybody interested in learning a language should definitely listen to this book! The tips available in this book should be taught in language classes but typically are not. This audiobook was also very enjoyable and fun to listen to. Highly recommend!

AMAZING!

Such an interesting topic and a book that truly does what it says on the cover! This book is so well written/narrated that it makes digesting this topic so much easier. An idiomatic mindset is something i have heard about but its never been as well described and written out as this. Love this book and highly recommend!

Awesome guide!

How well you learn a language is directly related to your techniques. This book does a great job crafting a baseline to learn many different languages and makes learning more efficient and a breeze. Highly recommend for any aspiring polygots!
