He breaks down the crucial 'motivation cycle,' explains how to build an educational foundation, and reviews the strengths of movies, music, radio, books, and the internet. Motivating and accessible, it's a road map for aspiring polyglots on any budget. Learn any language for the cost of a pocket dictionary—no expensive programs needed The secret isn't talent, it's motivation: master the motivation cycle Use the movies, music, and internet you already enjoy to become fluent Written by a self-taught polyglot fluent in Spanish and Guarani “it's not about learning a language overnight, it's about learning a language over time.”Perfect for a self-motivated adult who wants to learn a foreign language cheaply using everyday media rather than expensive programs.
