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.

The best way to learn to speak a foreign language is to start using it straight away. This is exactly what you will be doing with 3 Minute Spanish.With this book, you will learn useful words and phrases that will get you speaking from the very first lesson. You will learn quickly how to form your own sentences without feeling like you're never going to use what you learn.I wrote the 3 Minute Spanish methodology after trying lots of different courses, books and CDs. I noticed that most Spanish courses start out with a long list of pronunciation rules using weird symbols that you won't understand unless you've studied phonetics. I also noticed that a lot of Spanish courses fill their first few lessons with pages and pages of rules for the language: how to pluralise nouns, how to recognise the gender of a noun, how to use the definite, indefinite or partitive articles! Whilst this information will become useful eventually, for the complete beginner it can be extremely confusing and very often overwhelming, especially when baffling grammatical terminology is used. This is what leads to most students giving up.With 3 Minute Spanish, what I have done is put the most useful things first. You will learn words and phrases that will allow you to speak straight away, and you will get an instant feeling of success from the very first lesson. Furthermore, I have made sure that I explain everything in a way that assumes you know nothing about language learning. I don't use any tricky terminology and I don't give you and endless list of rules; we learn as we go along, adding small bits of information here and there and practising until you can use it confidently.Each time you learn a new word, I show you exactly how to say it with a small pronunciation guide underneath it. And you don't need to worry about remembering the words, either; the way the course is set out means that you will automatically internalise new vocabulary without even trying.The methodology behind this book is the same methodology I use in my classes and online courses, and the results my students have had are exciting and thrill me just as much as them!People who have spent years unsuccessfully studying Spanish have tried this book or one of my courses and have been amazed at how much they've learnt and understood in just the first lesson.Here are some of their reviews:"Excellent! He really understands teaching. This course breaks through a major barrier to learning foreign languages."NIALL COLLINS"This is fantastic. Everything you learn just stays in your head." YUVRAJ VASWANI"The course was just as the instructor promised; it flowed so easily from beginning to end, and I was surprised by how much I absorbed.

Absolutely no boredom or strain whatsoever!"HAPPY DEE"Excellent course. The step-by-step instruction in small increments is very effective, as is the repetition throughout the course, and the translation practice. Highly recommend!!!"MOLLIE DISHAL"This method of teaching is amazing. This person has a teaching gift and the lessons are very well structured with clear content. Everything is explained very well and this method of teaching is pure genius.
