How To Learn Any Language – Introduction Part Four

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Unfortunately, there are a lot more “self improvement” books than there is self
improvement. Too many books whose titles are heavy with promise turn out to be all
hat and no cattle – not enough take home after you deduct the generalities and
exhortations to “focus” and “visualise” your goals. Extracting usable advice from high
promising books can be like trying to nail custard pies to the side of a barn.

Mindful of that danger, I will not leave you with nothing but a pep talk. Follow the
steps herein, and you will learn the language of your choice quickly, easily,
inexpensively, enjoyably and on your own.

And you’ll have fun en route, though not nearly as much fun as you’ll have once you
get that language in working order and take it out to the firing range of the real world!

How’s that sound? Read more posts on this site. You will find out how.
