Inspiring and fun!

Thanks Benny! I’ve been following you for years but only listening to this now. Not a lot of new ideas for me as I’ve been into languages for a decade but still inspiring and exciting. Worth the listen

better as a book

the book offers many valuable insights for language learning but contains many lists and links which would be very useful as a readable book but gets annoying when you are listening to it.

Not bad

I taught myself Russian primarily by speaking with others. Since then I’ve tried teaching myself Spanish through non-speaking methods and have been unsuccessful. So I agree with Benny, the speaking from day 1 approach is the best.

Great for defeating the negative voice

Benny is certainly full of positivity for language learning. If you struggle with the negative voice in your head that says you can’t learn a foreign language - this book is for you. Benny is able to combat the reasons why many learners struggle - their own negativity. There is no lack of solid info in this book but there is nothing earth shattering or mind blowing here. It’s a good book and it’s certainly helped me on my language learning journey in that I now know I can do it - but I don’t think it’s really given me tips and tricks that are going to give me a boost or edge. It certainly won’t allow me to learn a language quickly and efficiently, “in half the time”, or anything like that. It’s fluffy, but it serves a crucial purpose to inflate positivity and “pats on the back” if you’re a negative Nancy.

I think what I really desire and haven’t found yet anywhere I look is a comprehensive and clearly outlined language learning method that isn’t vague or fluffy. Just a no nonsense clearly articulated download. These polyglots clearly know something, but they struggle to teach it. Savant learner ≠ savant teacher. Benny actually is a decent teacher though - don’t get me wrong. I’m just speculating that many polyglots have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner language learner and monolingual. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Good advice

Good advice for a beginner to foreign language learning. Ive been studying languages for a while so already knew most of this content but still found some good bits of advice.

The spark I needed to become a real polyglot.

Practical information to unleash the inner polyglot that resides in us all. I'm inspired to learn at least 2 more languages.

Great suggestions and ideas on how to learn a language!

If you’re looking to learn a new language, I can’t recommend this book enough. I’ve read other books in language learning and this one is so helpful and direct with practical advice I’ve seen work on myself and others. I’m working on becoming fluent in Portuguese to speak with my father-in-law, located in Brazil. This book helped accelerate some of that learning.
