Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World by Benny Lewis
4.0
Must read if the goal is to reach conversational level (B1 by CEFR) asap. Besides inspirational ideas the book contains a lot of practical tips.
Key ideas:
- Speak from day one (the day when you are absolutely ready to start speaking will never come)
- Use language - not just learn
- The only true advantage children have over adults is that they are naturally less afraid to make mistakes
- Be specific about your goals
- Classical learn techniques are OK for mastering language (but not as good for absolute beginner)
- You can't speak target language better than you speak your native language
- Do not start watch TV or read newspapers if you are absolute beginner. It will just frustrate you.
