Language Hacking Guide by Benny Lewis, the Irish Polyglot
From fluentin3months.com:
"The Language Hacking Guide explains exactly what you need to do to speak a language quickly. Rather than read through the guide to find out my one major ‘secret’, I can tell you right now. You need to speak the language from day one.
No years of studying grammar, no expensive and complicated software, no “magic pill” to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately. The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.
Even though this may be obvious, how you actually speak a language that you have just started to learn seems almost impossible to many people. So they’ll wait until they are “ready”. That wait may be years, or they may simply never even try. But it’s not actually that hard! That’s what the Language Hacking Guide is about."
Instant download of PDF and ePub formats, translations into several languages, and free worksheets and videos with other polyglots for $87 / 67€ (English only) OR $97 / 75€ (multilingual version) with a money-back guarantee.
