I have been reading rave reviews, but has anyone employed it and it worked? Wyner seems like a genius, so I'm skeptical for how this will work for a normal person!

I'm an English teacher. I'm also interested in learning new languages. I already knew some of the strategies and technique of learning and improving a new language(of course, either after a long time of reading different strategies from different resources or in a period of trial/error). But some of the advice and strategies proposed by Wyner were completely new for me. For example, starting the learn the vocabularies from the most frequent words down to the less frequent ones was of so much interest for me. So I started testing that for myself(in learning German as my new language) and I also recommended a list of 625 most frequent English words(which were on Appendix 5 of Wyner's book), and the results were very impressive. Also there were some suggested resources and materials(books, websites, ...) presented on different chapters which can be of so much help for the language learners. As another example of this book's strategies or suggestions that I've used myself was Flash card making instructions( I mean proposing Google Images as the best resource of finding the associated images of the words on the given language).
I believe that most of the language learning and improving methods proposed by Wyner are the results of real-life experience and long term scientific studies. So I definitely invite all the language learners to test them.(less)
