So many language learners struggle to speak their target language. Even if they’ve been studying for years.

DO ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

“I can’t find people to practice with. Nobody in my city speaks the language I want to learn.”

“I’m scared of making mistakes and looking stupid.”

“Starting a conversation is really difficult.”

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

BECAUSE THE WAY MOST PEOPLE LEARN LANGUAGES IS BROKEN…

Here’s Why Most Language Courses Fail

Learning a language usually means:

• Attending classes once a week
• Locking yourself away to study a dusty old grammar book
• Listening to language podcasts on your smartphone

None of these are bad in themselves. I’ve used all of them as language tools. But none of them will give you the confidence you need to speak your target language.

Why? Partly because they can be boring. And partly because they fail to immerse you in the language you want to learn.

There is another way…

How I Became Fluent in Seven Languages

I’M BENNY LEWIS!

You might know me as the author of the #1 best seller Fluent in 3 Months. Or you might have seen me profiled in National Geographic or speaking at TEDx.

Thanks to my Speak from Day 1 approach to language learning, over the past decade or so I’ve become fluent in seven languages, conversational in another four, and I’ve gotten by in many others.

However, when I started out, I didn’t have a clue about learning languages. I’m not “natural” or “gifted” with languages. And I don’t consider myself a particularly dedicated learner.

How have I learned so many languages?

Here’s what changed things.

I figured language is about communication.

It’s about meeting interesting people.

It’s about discovering new worlds.

It’s a social thing.

So often, we make language learning about sitting at a desk, reading from a textbook. All the fun and passion are drained away. And language learning should be all about fun and passion.

In other words, I found that if I simply started speaking a language, from day one, and immersed myself in that language, I naturally picked it up.

By meeting interesting people, and wanting to know more about them, I found I wanted to learn.

Conversation Countdown is a step-by-step, seven day video course (delivered via email) where you’ll learn to have a conversation with a native speaker in just one week.

Learning a language is difficult. It’s probably one of the biggest challenges you’ll ever take on. But it doesn’t have to be hard work.

When you enjoy learning a language – because you’re connecting with real people from other cultures – it feels easy.

In Conversation Countdown, you’ll learn how to:

• Find native speakers of your target language to chat with no matter where you live
• Beat the awkward feeling you get when you start speaking another language
• Take the plunge and speak in front of other people
• Immerse yourself in your target language, just like children do when they’re learning a language
• Choose the words that are best for you to learn – so you don’t waste time learning unnecessary words
• Create a “mission-mentality” to strategize your learning
• Become a self-driven, independent language learner
• Start speaking a language faster, before you think you’re ready
• Have your first real conversation with a real person in your target language

Conversation Countdown is made up of seven lessons that you can complete in as little as one week.

In each lesson, you get a mini-mission that helps you accomplish your language goals. Each mission builds up to the bigger goal of having a simple conversation in your target language.

You can share your progress with other students, and track your own progress against theirs.

This video series guides you, step-by-step, through the process of building toward your first conversation.
