Transcript for Language Hacking Guide

Hi everyone! I'm Benny Lewis from Ireland

and when I was 21 years old, the only language I spoke was English!

I took a little German in school but I did not do well at it

and I was convinced that I would never speak another language and

it just was not for me

... and then I went to Spain!

I had spent 6 months there and learned almost nothing

Moving to the country is not enough

or studying a lot of vocabulary and grammar

I've met so many people with similar stories

who spent years studying a language without being able to speak it in the end

It's not because they're dumb or because the language is too hard

you have to apply another approach and attitude

After those 6 months in Spain, I started to learn Spanish

using unconventional methods

I found out that there is a human aspect

that is not taught in most academic courses

I tried to explain this in the “Language Hacking Guide”

I talked about what I learned in the last seven years

and about how you can speak a language in the first week

and speak really well in just a few months

This isn't a step-by-step course and you won't be speaking

fluently after reading the book

but maybe you'll understand another way to learn a language quickly

Since I can still learn a lot

the Guide includes

several hours of interviews with

very well known language learners

Everything that I've achieved, anyone else can

Have a look in my blog to read some language learning tips

and if you'd like to know much more, then read my Guide!

Anyone can learn a language!

I'm absolutely sure of it

and it doesnt' have to take a huge number of years

there are shortcuts, or “hacks” as I like to call them

This works because if you look outside of the details

and focus on the human aspect and on communication

rather than how much you don't know

you can achieve so much more!

So, check out details below

about the Language Hacking Guide

and let me know what you think about it!

Good luck!
