Synopsis

Benny Lewis, who speaks over ten languages—all self-taught—runs the largest language-learning blog in the world, Fluent In 3 Months. Lewis is a full-time "language hacker," someone who devotes all of his time to finding better, faster, and more efficient ways to learn languages. Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World is a new blueprint for fast language learning. Lewis argues that you don't need a great memory or "the language gene" to learn a language quickly, and debunks a number of long-held beliefs, such as adults not being as good of language learners as children.

About Benny Lewis

Benny Lewis would not describe himself as a linguist—in fact, he was distinctly mediocre at languages at school. But now, ten years on, he has learned to speak over a dozen languages, has travelled the world, and has countless friends in many different countries. How? His success is due to a change in mindset and approach—a process he has shared successfully with thousands who have discovered how to start speaking from day one. Benny's goal is to impart his insights so that everyone can see how knowing other languages can change your life.

Fluent in 3 Months is a self help guide for anyone who aspires to speak more than one language. Though it's mainly filled with common sense ideas, I liked how the author, Benny Lewis, put it all together. Lewis begins by sharing his own life experience with readers- that he felt he failed in his early......more

Goodreads review by Stefan on June 28, 2014

Disclaimer: The book title is not a promise – it's a challenge. And I really enjoy that. It's a book on learning languages. It's a relatively short one and an easy one to read. It does not make any outlandish claims. Here are my main takeaways: * Your age does not affect learning a language that much.......more

Goodreads review by Bastian on July 14, 2014

I'm probably just not the target audience for this work, but then this is probably because the title is overselling the content so much. A better fitting title would be "How any couchsurfer at any age can learn to speak any language from anywhere in the world by doing couchsurfing". Lewis focusses a......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on May 02, 2014

Absolutely fantastic introductory book for learning a new language. While Benny won't actually *teach* you a language in this book (though ch. 6 has some good tips for some popular ones), he will give you a solid method for learning and help you squash any excuses you might have. Coming from someone......more
