Benny Lewis – Language Hacker Guide Full Package (21 Languages) + Speak form Day1

The Language Hacking Guide explains exactly what you need to do to speak a language quickly.

Rather than read through the guide to find out my one major ‘secret’, I can tell you right now. You need to speak the language from day one.No years of studying grammar, no expensive and complicated software, no “magic pill” to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately. The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.Even though this may be obvious, how you actually speak a language that you have just started to learn seems almost impossible to many people. So they’ll wait until they are “ready”. That wait may be years, or they may simply never even try.

What is included in the Language Hacker Guide Full Package and how much is it?

• E-books with the core information in four formats: standard PDF (for reading on a computer screen), ePub (for iPad / iPod / Sony reader / Android etc.), Mobi (for reading on the Amazon Kindle) and printer-friendly versions.
• Full translations of the Guide to be read in several languages. All content (the 32,000 word e-book in 4 separate file formats* and the worksheets) is provided right now in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Dutch, Irish, Czech, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hindi, Romanian, Tagalog, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. Even more will be on the way in a few months. All of the content was translated by natives so that you can get immediate exposure to your target language to get a feel for it and attempt to read it, using the English (or other) version as a reference.
• Lists of many free resources for practising any language. No expensive courses required. This means you will save money that you may otherwise waste on courses.
• Worksheets to perform tasks to make sure you are on the right track. Also translated.

NOW all the Language Hacker Guide Full Package purchases are packed with Speak from day 1 video courseIs this a language course?

Neither the Language Hacker Guide Full Package nor the Speak form Day1 video series is a course to learn any particular language. Each is my explanation of how I apply what is known as the “communicative” learning approach to languages (i.e. using it naturally by speaking it, rather than studying it in an academic environment). Everything I discuss are the most important techniques I have learned in the last decade of using languages in immersion environments.

Honestly, nearly all courses basically offer the same content and I find that an inexpensive book (such as the “Teach yourself” series, or a Lonely Planet phrasebook) offers just as much, or even more value than pre-packaged software courses that cost hundreds of dollars. The cheaper books are way better to provide the content to fill your language with.

However, actually getting used to the idea of speaking a language (issues such as lack of confidence, or how to get by when you don’t know the right word etc.) is never covered in any of these courses, including in-person classroom or in-country courses that cost thousands of dollars. What is offered in the Language Hacking Guide and Speak from Day 1 packages is not explained anywhere else in the world that I am aware of.

If you are confused about how you can possibly begin to really use your target language (no matter what it may be), then this may be for you!

Do you discuss new learning techniques in the Speak form Day1 series?

Rather than go into completely new techniques (as that would be a free update to the Language Hacking Guide book itself when it happens), the purpose of the Speak from day 1 series is to demonstrate my favourite techniques to use when starting off with a language. While I feel I explained them well in the guide, I think that seeing me attempt to do them in front of a native really makes it much easier to understand.

The purpose of the Language Hacking Guide is to explain everything I do in my entire process of learning a language; including how to go beyond the basics and even speak multiple languages. The purpose of the Speak from Day 1 series is to show techniques specifically for getting a start on speaking a language. There is lots of overlap, and Language Hacking Guide purchasers will recognize the techniques in the Speak from Day 1 series.

Since I feel that demonstration is essential to getting my point across, and I can do this much better in video form than I can in a written explanation, I will package both Speak from day 1 and the Language Hacking Guide together permanently from Thursday.
