And You're About to Learn How to Use the Best Tool to Learn Languages Faster, Be More Productive and Achieve More Success in Language Learning: You'll Know How to Learn a Language Through Reading and Without Using a Dictionary!
The book will help you to stand your ground and go on with language learning, be it English or any other one you are learning.
You learn how to understand a text globally without using a dictionary and why this is more effective in terms of memorising the new words and phrases than merely looking at them and mugging them up.
Even the use of e-book Readers (such as Kindle) or audio books with the exercises is described in the book.
The revolutionary view of starting from what you know, then using your inner created pictures, followed by exercises based on the rhythm and melody of a language will create a firm foundation for your language learning practice.
You will become an autonomous language learner and improve your knowledge of foreign languages - or even decide to learn new ones as well!
Based on the techniques of famous and classical polyglots like Kató Lomb, Heinrich Schliemann and Giuseppe Mezzofanti, the author has developed a widely practicable technique called Autorhythmy or Auto-method.
Beginners and advanced learners alike can build up a comprehensive vocabulary through reading in a foreign language. This way of collecting vocabulary is rather more entertaining than learning languages merely from course-books or at school.
This practice will not only work with an easy reading for adults.
Most people are astonished how well this language learning technique works even with high level texts. Start right now, read the method and learn a language by reading or listening to it without a dictionary.
I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for proven techniques to open the pandoras box of language learning! The information was well put and easy to digest!. - Andrea Kaufmann, Chief Content Officer, lingua-W
One of the most important books Ihave and will ever read about language learning. Really enjoyed it! I succeeded to bring my Spanish and Chinese to the next level and I've also started Italian and Portuguese with the Auto-method developed by Mihaly! Reading without a dictionary a milestone for me! - Michael Holmes, Journalist HBJ
I am very impressed with this book and intend to improve my Japanese! Thank you Mihaly Hevesi forwriting this book. I'm definitely recommending it to my students, pupils and colleauges at our Institute! - Jeremy Ferguson, Language Teacher, IFL
A great book to inspire English learners and teachers with ideas that are more fruitful than many of the traditional methods. - Alec Templeton, author of bestselling book Teaching English to Teens and Preteens
