My latest language learning creation: A NEW video-based website for language-learners

For a while now, I’ve been working on something new that you may have picked up on when reading the blog, but that I’ve never officially announced, because it wasn’t quite ready yet!

But after months of creating, researching, recording and planning, I’m very proud to tell you all about my new premium website for Language Hackers, Fluent in 3 Months PREMIUM.

Thanks for the support!

Your support has allowed me to keep working to improve my website and develop new and better Language Hacking materials.

And while I really appreciate all the support from sales of my print-book, I should make it clear that these sales do not support my site. Even though my book is an international best seller, it has actually costed me much more than I’ve earned from it. Traditional publishing is not practical for making earnings (I knew this long before the book ever touched a shelf), and I did it solely to inspire a whole new group of potential language learners that I can’t reach through online means.

Sales of my digital products are what always keep this site afloat, so thank you very much for that

One thing I always try to do is use the proceeds I make from sales of my materials to make better materials. This is why I’ve always offered free lifetime upgrades with each digital product, so that you can see how your investments allow me to make my content better!

Fluent in 3 Months PREMIUM is the best material I’ve ever created, and I’m really excited to finally have it ready to its official launch!

Now, to celebrate the launch…

I’m giving $20 italki credit to everyone who joins PREMIUM in the next 3 days

Yep, all new sign-ups get $20 of credit to use on italki, until Wednesday at midnight EST. This is equivalent to 1-3 hours of professional 1-on-1 Skype based language lessons, depending on the teacher/lesson. So if you have been on the fence, and think you may get the product “some day”, you really should take advantage of the current offer!

You can get it now right here.

I actually have several videos describing how to use italki as part of the product itself, and can confirm that it is my go-to best resource of all (I’m in there every day!)

Huge speak-in-a-week success

This past week, I sent out a free course from my PREMIUM materials called Speak in a Week, and hundreds of language learners emailed me to say they had their first ever conversations in their target language. I am absolutely amazed!!

I want everyone to keep going! Keep progressing towards fluency! And most importantly to use my suggestions to prepare you to SPEAK in your language now! That free course introduces you to many more materials that will get you beyond that first week.

What’s inside PREMIUM?

The new product is actually an entirely new website I’ve been building from the ground up, that includes my original Speak from Day 1 video series plus several new video series.

One video series guides you through how I use my favourite language resources and give tricks for how I like to customize the best apps and websites to suit different needs.

The website also includes a massive resource database, with organized lists of seriously detailed language learning resources–things that me and my team have spent hours scouring the Internet for.

You’ll learn:

How to read manga in German
Where you can listen to “slow” Spanish radio just for beginners
How to take a free MIT course online in Chinese
Where to find music and lyrics for Arabic belly dancing music

… and more … as well as what free or cheap online courses you can start with now, today, to keep your momentum going. It’s all there!

I’ve been working hard for months to make this huge database of videos and other resources ready to go. I like to think of it as a massive expansion pack on my book and previous materials!

Something else I’m really proud of (Speak from day 1 members)

If you already bought my Speak from Day 1 video series at any point in the last several years, then check your email for a special thank you :). Thank you for supporting me in my older projects–you’ve given me the resources I needed to make these new materials possible!

And of course, I’ll be keeping my Free Upgrades for Life offer on this new product as well, so that you’ll be able to see in the future what your investment helps me to create.

Fluent in 3 Months PREMIUM took so much work, time, video editing, subtitling, research, organization, as well as web site design and management to create. And me and my team will continue expanding and improving it with time.

The very first video series I just launched from FI3M PREMIUM for free, my Speak in a Week series, has already changed so many lives. My team and I are overwhelmed by the positive responses and thank you emails.

Here are just a few:

“This has been more fun than I ever could have imagined. After 4+ years of attempting to learn Hindi on my own, but never speaking, I now have more offers for language partners than I would have believed possible. I also made a contact with a Native German speaker to help me relearn, and recall my German from so many years ago.

This has been a great experience. Thank you – Linda”

“Hi Benny,

First off, [going on italki] was the scariest part of the challenge for me, I am really not a big asker for help and that has stopped me so many times so I am very happy excited to say that I did it!

I wrote an intro on italki, got corrected and found a language partner! I used you to introduce my learning project and she had read your book (not only do you make learning a language easier but connecting with people too!) so we are on for a conversation this Sunday!

So, thank you, thank you and thank you again! For giving me the momentum and getting me out there!  Hope you are well and having a blast on your book tour!

One last time, thank you! – Leila”

Hi Benny

First of all, thank you for using my Day 1 Romanian as one of your three examples it is the first time I have ever posted anything online like that so it really means a lot.

Secondly, I’d like to say thank you so much for this Speak in 1 Week program …. This programme is invaluable as it is holding my hand (and I believe many others) through this initial step before we make our own way in the world.

I really think this could be a follow up book for you hehe, whether one week, or maybe a little longer, I really look forward to see where we all end up by the end of the week.

Thank you again,
Kenneth” (You saw his video as part of the successful day 1 spoken videos)

Now I want this $20 italki offer to give you the inspiration and resources you need to tackle your language projects head on.

Get it here, just until Wednesday.

Now that we have launched this mega project, Lauren and I really look forward to focusing more on our US/Canada book tour to encourage you all face-to-face, as well as getting back into consistent blogging and helping language learners in as many ways as we can!

Thanks again so much for all your support. Exciting times are ahead

P.S. Keep sending me emails telling me how my products have affected your language learning – I love reading them!
