Reviews:
“A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages. Fluent Forever won’t teach you French, or German, or any other language — but it will teach you how to learn whatever language you do want to learn, and to learn it faster, and more efficiently.  If you want a new language to stick, start here.”
—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero
“Aspiring polyglots of the world, take note: this book will help you pick up any new language in record time. If you’re looking for a practical, brain-friendly, field-tested approach to language learning, search no more: you’ve found your guide.”
—Josh Kaufman, bestselling author of The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything… Fast

内容简介
加布里埃尔?怀纳能流利地讲六种语言：德语、意大利语、法语、俄语和匈牙利语。他没有在小时候、中学或大学攻读语言，而是在近几年才开始学，主要靠自学，在地铁里练习，使用简单的技术和免费的线上资源。他意识到两件事：首先，我们大多数人学习语言的方法效果很差。其次，用对方法学习语言将不再是难题。任何人只要掌握方法，都能学好。他在Fluent Forever《外语流利说》一书中探讨学习和记忆的科学：如何强化记忆，为什么抓住时机至关紧要，怎样开启内在的语法天赋，怎样临摹锁定知识，为什么单词记忆取决于正确的图解。
At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school — who does? — rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources. In Fluent Forever Wyner reveals what he’s discovered.  
Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery, rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day.
This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.
