Stab, stab, stab -- Upload : five principles to end forgetting -- Sound play -- Word play and the symphony of a word -- Sentence play -- The language game.
For those who have despaired of ever learning a foreign language, here, finally, is a book that will make the words stick. At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He did not learn them in school -- who does? -- rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources. In Fluent Forever Wyner reveals what he has discovered.
