Language Hacking takes a modern approach to language learning and focuses on the conversations that learners need to master right away, rather than presenting language as a slow-moving series of building blocks. This means that you can have meaningful conversations right away, not after years of study. Incorporating the language hacks that Benny Lewis mastered while learning (as an adult) the 10 languages he now speaks, these courses help learners exponentially increase their language knowledge through clever shortcuts, memory techniques, and conversation strategies. The course consists of 9 units, each containing 3 conversations that culminate with a mission that learners complete and submit in the learner community that has been custom-created to accompany the course. There, learners give and get feedback to extend their learning beyond the pages of the book. It blends the best of technology and traditional learning so that learners can personalize their learning, get support from other learners, and rely on Benny's tried and tested methods for learning.
