“Fluent Forever” by Gabriel Wyner teaches an absolutely new
concept… to me. I took Latin in high
school (not taught as a conversational language) and tried, but failed
miserably at a basic Spanish class taught at my local community college. So as a home schooling mother, I was feeling
pretty inept as a foreign language teacher.
But this book has given me hope in a light-hearted, easy read that is chock-full
of information.
Mr. Wyner really makes you feel like you can learn a
language on your own without paying for an expensive class and gives a ton of
resources to help you do just that. He
encourages you to study a language that you love (for me that would be French
versus the Spanish that would make so much more sense where we live) and
committing to a small amount of time each day to do that.
So now for pronunciation?
That’s covered, too. I had never
heard of the International Phonetic Alphabet ( what a helpful tool!) and Mr.
Wyner has Youtube videos, too.
I have not tried this system yet, but I must admit that I’m
really excited to give it a try.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a free copy of this book by Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest opinion.
