Fluent Forever

This book completely changed the way I view language and language learning. As someone attempting to regain fluency in my once-native Spanish, I found the approach of assigning pictures to foreign words rather than English translations to be extremely useful. While it is a time-consuming process initially, the payoff is immense and it saves a lot of struggle in the long run.

I'm currently applying these methods to my attempts at learning French. This is the one language learning book that I recommend to friends over and over again, I definitely recommend it to anyone who is eager to learn a language but unsure where to begin.
