NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t 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—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

"A very useful tool for students who want to augment their vocabulary skills."--Professor Fiorenza Weinapple, Princeton University Many words in Italian are nearly the same as their English counterparts, except for the word ending. This unique book identifies the 24 most common word-ending patterns between these languages and provides over 4,000 words that follow them. For example, many English words that end in "-al" (capital, normal, etc.) correspond to "-ale" in Italian (capitale, normale, etc.). Similarly, English words ending in "-ance" (alliance, importance, etc.) correspond to "-anza" in Italian (alleanza, importanza, etc.). Using this system for learning, students can add thousands of new Italian words to their vocabulary. Teaches 4,000 new Italian words New introduction "How We Learn Languages" Perfect as a classroom supplement or for self-study Appropriate for all ages and levels of experience Online MP3 audio files for free download featuring pronunciation by native Italian speaker

At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance! Finally, you'll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Italian, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story.
