In the “residential” sections of Cancun, Mexico, a bottle of drinking water costs around one dollar.  In the “tourist” areas of the city that same bottle of water costs about three dollars!  What makes the difference?  Whether or not you can speak Spanish!  If you don’t habla Español, you’ll pay the “Gringo tax.”  Perhaps the extra money is worth not having to go to the trouble of learning to speak some Spanish.  If so, then hydrate away -- it’s only money!

Or maybe you’re ready to embark on a truly fantastic journey that relatively few of the earth’s billions of inhabitants ever take a serious crack at.  In that case, this eBook is your upgrade to help make your foreign language learning a success, and more than a little fun.  You Can Learn A Foreign Language proposes tips, techniques and strategies to speed up the process while also helping to make your road of discovery more delightful and satisfying one.   

These tools will ease some of the burden of learning a foreign language while you do other “necessary” things, like working, eating regularly and having a life and family – things that keep you occupied during the majority of your day.  With this eBook, you’ll learn how to incorporate your language acquisition into your everyday life -- while waiting in line, in a waiting room, riding the bus, mowing the lawn, or even sipping a latte and chatting up the neighbors. You can play with the kids, watch TV, listen to local radio, read the local newspapers, magazines and listen to music – all of these activities and more will take you step-by-step everyday closer to speaking fluency, listening comprehension, reading and writing skill in your new foreign lingua franca – virtually with no extra effort on your part.

Learning a foreign language is never an easy task.  It’s also one that mandates the delegation of some time.  It can and often does become a life-long journey of discovery, frustration and boundless rewards for those who pursue it.  How long will it take you to learn another language?  Well, that’s really up to you – but once you read this eBook you’re going to know a whole lot more than you do now.

You’ll learn from a number of expats regarding the language strategies and techniques that are working for them as they are acquiring Dutch, German, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Thai, Vietnamese, Norwegian, Catalan, Finnish, Turkish, Danish, Hungarian and English as a second language.  This eBook also provides live weblinks that will take you throughout the internet for more in-depth information, foreign language samples or images and graphics in full color.  To lend a bit of fun, there are puzzles and games, and templates to help you create your own language-learning aids.  You’ll even pick up useful, practical techniques from past, current and future Guinness Book record-holders and encounter motivational quotes by luminaries from Abraham Lincoln to Malcolm X.

Author Larry M. Lynch is an active ELT academic researcher who has written three books in the field of language acquisition using multi-modal techniques.  In You Can Learn A Foreign Language he shares the Q.U.I.C.K. Foreign Language Learning System, designed to make picking up any foreign language anywhere in the world faster and easier.  Supporting this effective system are charts and worksheets to help guide your learning path, along with tools to check and measure your progress.  You’ll find the system even more useful if, like the author, you use English nearly all the time despite being in a non-English speaking environment.  And the different memory and language practice techniques in this downloaded eBook will be at your fingertips on your laptop or notebook, no matter where you are.

If you apply the personally-developed language learning tips and strategies presented in this eBook to help boost your target foreign language knowledge and skills, your life will be enriched well beyond the difference of a few dollars extra for a bottle of water.  Even the price of this eBook will seem insignificant compared to the pleasure and pride you will gain from growing your language skills.  Your new neighbors, family, friends and children will also be impressed!  If exploring a foreign language is on your to-do list, then put this eBook on your want list, or order it now and let the learning begin!
