CRACK THE CODE AND GET FLUENT FASTER.

I had to learn [ a new language] in a handful of days for a TV interview. I asked Benny for help and his advice was invaluable. - Tim Ferriss

Ten years ago, Lewis spoke only English. But constant travel, along with a buoyant attitude, has unmasked the polyglot within. - National Geographic

What if you could skip the years of study and jump right to speaking Mandarin? Sound Crazy? No, it's language hacking. It's about learning what's indispensable, skipping what's not - and using what you've learned to have real conversations in Chinese - from day one!

Unlike most traditional language courses that try to teach you the rules of a language,Language HackingMandarin shows you how to learn and speak Mandarin Chinese immediately through proven memory techniques, unconventional shortcuts and conversation strategies perfect by one of the world's greatest language learners, Benny Lewis, aka the Irish Polyglot.

The Method
Language Hacking takes a modern approach to language learning by focusing on the essential conversations that learners need to start speaking from day one. There's no need to study every word and grammar rule before you start using the language. Instead,Language Hacking applies the 80/20 principle to language learning, giving you the most versatile phrases and most effective shortcuts to help you get fluent faster. Through speaking, you get the practice you need to progress and the confidence to use the language.

Each of the 10 units culminates with a speaking mission that you can choose to share on the italki#LanguageHacking learner community (www.italki.com/community) where you can submit your missions, give and get feedback and extend your learning beyond the pages of the book.

The audio for this course is available for free on library.teachyourself.com or from the Teach Yourself Library app.

You don't need to go abroad to learn a language any more.

Irish native Benny Lewis speaks over ten languages - all self-taught. In 2003, he spoke only one language: English. After university, he moved to Spain and was soon frustrated that he could not speak Spanish after six months of studying. So he decided to abandon traditional learning approaches and just start speaking - and everything changed. Today Benny is known as The Irish Polyglot and speaks Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Hungarian. He is the author of the bestselling book on language learning, Fluent in 3 months. He also runs the largest language learning blog in the world, www.fluentin3months.com, where he breaks down the language learning process for busy people. Lewis is a full-time 'language hacker', and devotes his time to finding better, faster, and more efficient ways to learn languages. For the first time, he has applied his methods to helping people learn specific languages in his new Language Hacking series.
