Learn A New Language: 30 Days to Learn a New Language
Learning a new language is not only a pragmatic matter of communication. Every language shapes the world around us in its own, unique way, which you’ll begin to notice as soon as you understand a few new words and you realize that they have no perfect synonyms in your mother tongue. Learning a new language, then, is the fascinating process of stepping outside of the boundaries of your mother tongue and the way it structures the world and into a (sometimes completely) new version of reality.
Indeed, some studies argue that children are so much better at learning languages when they are very young because at this stage, they “acquire” them unconsciously. There are other studies, however, that add to this hypothesis that children are much more open minded, which makes it easier for them to accept the different view of the world as it is constructed by a second or third language. The latter studies support that this, in fact, why children find it easier to start speaking in a new language than adults.
Whatever the perspective, beginning to speak in another tongue remains an intriguing, complex and captivating process. To guide you through it, this practical e-book on learning a new language details the most important steps you should undertake to make your task easier, regardless of the language you are trying to learn (or the target language, as we shall call it from here onward). Backed by research conducted in the field of linguistics and by the advice offered by some of the most impressive polyglots worldwide, the exercises and tips you’ll find here are guaranteed to put some much needed order into the confusing process of seeing the world through the “eyes” of another language.
More specifically, you’ll get a comprehensive idea about how you should practice your target language, how often you should practice it every day, as well as what kind of bibliography or support you can use to ease your endeavour. Naturally, it will take more than 30 days and a lot of dedication on your part in order to become proficient in your target language, but the month you have at your disposal for the challenge described in this e-book will ensure that by the time you have completed all the exercises, you will be a fluent beginner. Since we all have to become novices before we can become experts, this practical e-book is a great place to start.
In addition, each of the 30 days of the programme described in the book will feature an activity, a tip or an exercise that will help you replace your destructive bingeing habits with healthy ones. As you go through the challenge, you’ll learn about techniques ranging from mindful eating to methods of identifying triggers, some therapeutic strategies and an abundance of healthy nutritional routines, so that by the end of the month, you will be perfectly equipped to leave bingeing behind and enjoy a disorder-free life.

Once again was a very easy book to read a lot of good pointers. I enjoy reading the books cause they’re short into the point. Highly recommended.
