How can we learn a language quickly and efficiently, even if we don't have time to study? People used to say that it takes years to learn a language, and you need to invest a lot of money in courses, private classes and books. Are you also struggling with the same problems as other people who learn languages? Do you recognize any of these?
Many of us have families, a full-time job, and problems finding enough time to study. It's difficult to ensure that we study regularly and make progress in the new language. We try to force ourselves to study regularly, so we register for language courses and pay for access to Internet apps, but this artificial motivation becomes quickly a flash in the pan. When we try to study we don't know how to do it efficiently. What techniques should we use? How can we remember the vocabulary? How do we deal with the grammar? We try different solutions, but none brings the desired results. Why is it that some people are able to master more than ten languages? How do the polyglots find the time? What do they do to learn any language in a matter of months?
As a teenager, Konrad Jerzak vel Dobosz wanted to become a polyglot, but like most of us he needed to deal with the same challenges: lack of time, lack of an efficient method of learning, difficulties memorizing the vocabulary, lack of motivation and the fear of making mistakes. He decided to analyze the methods of well-known polyglots, including Heinrich Schliemann, Emil Krebs and Giuseppe Mezzofanti. He took a close look at the approaches proposed by modern language learning experts Richard Simcott, Luca Lampariello, Moses McCormick and Benny Lewis.
This book, The Secrets of Polyglots is the result of his analysis of the methods developed by the greatest polyglots. You can find here the description of the techniques used by the biggest experts, and also a step-by-step method, which Konrad Jerzak vel Dobosz used himself to learn more than ten languages.
The Secrets of Polyglots was written especially for people who:
- Need to learn a foreign language, but don't have much time to study
- Have registered for language courses, but aren't happy with the results
- Learn by themselves, but want more efficient techniques
- Want to learn several languages simultaneously, but don't know how to
- Desire to be able to master any foreign language in a couple of months
The first part is a description of 17 extremely efficient techniques and concepts
