To be precise, I should perhaps say French, as the Francophony includes countries which are very different from each other for linguistic and cultural variations ... this is anyway a topic we will deal with further on. How many times have you happened to improvise a word when eating in a restaurant abroad? Maybe you didn’t even know what you were ordering ... Well, it also occurs to the best.

As you progress on this path, feel free to go back and review those topics that will seem less clear for you. For further in-depth studies and explanations, Internet offers a myriad of resources for free. I suggest you to choose the most reliable sources, for example some well-known dictionary, thanks to which you may learn the specific use of a word and its context of use (…). Would you like to ask a coffee in a café parisien without hesitation? Or order a dish in a typical bistrot without incurring unpleasant inconveniences? Or just ask where the toilette is? Here, then you have chosen the book that’s right for you!

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero 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—and here he wants to show others 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.
