《跟各国人都聊得来》内容简介
跟各国人都可以聊得来?没钱没时间没天赋也可以?
是的!本书作者本尼•刘易斯原本是一个没有任何语言天赋的“学渣”。他学了6个月的西班牙语,却只敢问东西的价钱和厕所在哪里,以为这辈子注定只能讲英语一种语言了。后来,他用几年的时间变身“语言达人”,不仅可以流利地说12种语言,还被美国《国家地理》杂志评为“年度旅行者”。
作者简介
本尼•刘易斯(BennyLewis)
本尼•刘易斯,语言学习达人,从“学渣”到“学霸”的典型代表。
他在21岁之前只会说英语,而且几次尝试学习新语言都以失败告终,比如,他在西班牙上了6个月的语言班,却只敢问东西的价钱和厕所在哪里。
后来他突然领悟到“语言不是用来学习的,而是用来生活的”,并很快找到了学习语言的窍门,不仅能说一口流利的西班牙语,还可以自信地使用德语、法语、意大利语、匈牙利语、葡萄牙语、中文普通话等12种语言。另外他还掌握了其他12种语言的基础知识,并多次被错认为当地人。
他的语言学习博客(fluentin3months.com)活跃度排名首位,已帮助数百万人学会了新的语言,让他们了解了会说另一门语言将会怎样改变他们的人生。
鉴于他在异国旅行和文化探索方面的杰出贡献,美国《国家地理》授予他“年度旅行者”称号。
I can talk to people from all countries
You can talk to people from all over the world? No money, no time, no talent?
Yes, we do! Benny Lewis, the author of this book, was originally an "underachiever" with no talent for languages. He studied Spanish for six months, but only dared to ask the price of things and where the toilet was, thinking that he was doomed to speak only English for the rest of his life. After a few years, he became a "language master", not only can speak 12 languages fluently, but also was named "Traveler of the year" by National Geographic magazine.
About the author
By BennyLewis
Benny Lewis, a language learner, goes from "underachiever" to "overachiever."
He spoke only English until he was 21, and several attempts to learn new languages ended in failure, such as taking language classes in Spain for six months, only to ask how much things cost and where the toilets were.
Later, he suddenly realized that "languages are not for learning, but for living", and quickly found the knack of learning languages, not only speaking fluent Spanish, but also confidently using 12 languages including German, French, Italian, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese. He also mastered the basics of 12 other languages and was repeatedly mistaken for a native.
His most-active language learning blog (fluentin3months.com) has helped millions of people learn new languages and understand how speaking another language can change their lives.
For his contributions to exotic travel and cultural exploration, National Geographic named him "Traveler of the Year."
