“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

—Josh Kaufman, bestselling author of The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything… Fast

內容簡介
加布裏埃爾?懷納能流利地講六種語言：德語、意大利語、法語、俄語和匈牙利語。他沒有在小時候、中學或大學攻讀語言，而是在近幾年纔開始學，主要靠自學，在地鐵裏練習，使用簡單的技術和免費的綫上資源。他意識到兩件事：首先，我們大多數人學習語言的方法效果很差。其次，用對方法學習語言將不再是難題。任何人隻要掌握方法，都能學好。他在Fluent Forever《外語流利說》一書中探討學習和記憶的科學：如何強化記憶，為什麼抓住時機至關緊要，怎樣開啓內在的語法天賦，怎樣臨摹鎖定知識，為什麼單詞記憶取決於正確的圖解。
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.
