How to Learn a Foreign Language the handbook used by schools, universities, and independent language-learners throughout the world:
Don't miss this little book! It is unusual in that it treats languages as respectable and serious study but also fun. It addresses common fears, and deals with the attitudes that have made Americans increasingly monolingual. It is packed with advice on how to learn a foreign language…Excellent, simple, with summaries at the end of each chapter…I enjoyed it very much. Rene Perez-Lopez Voice of Youth Advocates This book could save a beginning student hours of confusion, and might provide some confidence that learning a language is normal and possible, even for someone like him or her!…Fuller has codified what many successful language learners have found out for themselves about learning languages…The knowledge that Fuller is writing from such vast experience can only inspire confidence on the part of the reluctant language learner.
