In this book, we’re going to discuss the process of learning a language on your own, outside of the classroom. But if you’re already enrolled in a class (or if there are some good affordable classes offered nearby), then be sure to check out Appendix 6 : How to Use This Book with Your Classroom Language Course. The Path Forward In the coming pages, we will knock down language’s challenges one by one. I’ll introduce you to a memorization system that will allow you to remember thousands of facts effortlessly and permanently. Then we’ll determine which facts to learn. I’ll guide you step-by-step through your language’s sounds, words, and grammar. Every step of the way, we’ll use your memorization system to learn more rapidly. Finally, we’ll develop your listening and reading comprehension, as we pave a path toward fluent speech. Along the way, I’ll show you all my favorite toys.

I needed to learn four languages to fluency for my singing. Beyond these, I want to learn Yiddish, Hebrew, and Hungarian to speak with my relatives, and I’m fascinated by Japanese. With so many languages to learn, I could spend an enormous amount of time looking for efficiency and still justify the time expense. As a result, I have a chest full of neat tools and toys to play with. We’ll begin with my favorite one: the Spaced Repetition System (SRS). 1. They’ll do it, for the most part, in English. Yes, this breaks my no-English rule, but you know what they say about rules and breaking things. 2. But every time I type out a recital program and don’t have to look up a composer’s dates (Johann Strauss Jr., 1825–1899!), I win back a little more time.
