I studied with him to learn his method of teaching and learning for three years. And, yes, he was as amazing as any master teacher I have ever met. I spent ten years studying with Michel Thomas ( see my video on youtube about this experience). Both incredible teachers.
Luca, when you recommend something, I always try it. I wouldn't be where I am without you. You've been a source of both inspiration and extremely useful information for years. Thank you
I read the book a couple of years ago. Nothing new under the sun as most of his tips are already in any Cambridge student's books (related to the speaking part). In any case, Boris Shekhtma has the great added value of composing all these tips and presenting them in a very appealing way. For example, the advantage of a memorized text (called Island) is that it provides a grammatical pattern or a template that can be used in different contexts. Let's say that you memorize this chunk: "I'm likely to.....", you can use it in many contexts and languages: English "I am likely to be late, I am likely to go to University, etc." in Italian "È probabile che io (+ congiuntivo) sia in ritardo, esca stasera" ecc. Last but not least, I appreciate this new (and interactive) book review. Love it.
I think the book is worthwhile as it gives examples on how to do it, I found it really helpful. He also pioneer many of these techniques years ago, so I guess folks then copied and expounded on it, still helpful.
Thanks Luka, I think this is exactly what I need at the point of language learning that I am currently at. I have been learning Spanish and Russian for a little over a year and I understand quite a bit but when trying to respond I either respond in very simple words or just stand there like a deer in the headlights trying to come up with appropriate output to produce. I think the tools 🛠 in this book might help me get over this hump. I ordered the book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Luca, my teacher asked me to follow you. I'm following you for a bit of time, your tips are amazing. I'm watching your videos, writing them, listening to them, and reading them again and again and again. While I'm learning your tips, I practice the language.
Thank you Luca. Even though I have spent years honing my language learning method and skills, the book looks like it offers specific tools for getting the most out of conversational communication that I have never really considered.
So freaking motivating! Thank you Luca💞 I have been acquiring French for a little over a year now and literally would’ve quit if it hadn’t been for your motivational videos💓 Love from the US😘😘
Hello, Luca. I bought this book and read it after watching this video. All the methods on this booklet are pragmatic and straightforward to readers, I wouldn't say it's useless, it could be a quite good guidance for those who has yet known how to study a subject or simply for ADHDers, but for those who have already mastered 1 or 2 foreign languages it may not be a good choice, it will be too basic for them. But still I appreciated this book and I like how artless the author is, I would like to read more of this author if he ever wrote any profound theory around language studies.
Excelente Luca. Muchas gracias por el review y recomendación. También como tu español, tu inglés es impecable. Saludos de un venezolano perdido en Estados Unidos.
Luca Lampariello comes up with the good stuff for us again. This is an excellent book, full of useful ideas. One amusing thing is that the author warns about using bad English grammar, but some of the English grammar examples he says are wrong, are actually perfectly fine. For example, he says on page 63. 'She is in hospital' is wrong and 'She is in the hospital' is correct. But 99% of the time we would say 'She's in hospital.' and leave out the article.
Thanks Luca for this suggestion, I feel it's properly what I need at my point of learning english. The difference that you linked between language skylls and comunication skylls has been a really important clarification for me. I'm often too concerned to the grammar and it makes me feel stressed about speaking, despite to try to use the tools I just have in a more effective way. I'll buy the book right now!
Awesome recommendation! And since we use them already it’s easy to absorb and implement . Going to try the 30 sentence suggestion .. ; I think since we focus so much on understanding and responding with simple answers we lose focus on conversation .. thanks !! Can’t wait to try it !
I would recommend another 8-ish yrs old video on this book published by another great polyglot, Anthony Lauder) Thanks Luca for your video - I very much appreciated how you concisely explained each section of the book!
So first of all I just wanna say thank you so much Loca , I'll just watch the video where are you talking about how to use TH-cam to learn languages I'm really big fan of TH-cam and I wanted to use it as my main source I was confused before I watch your video , But right now I feel that I achieved something , What I was doing actually is listening possibly I mean just watching video and then I'd go to the video and I said this is not a good video .I'm not into movies nor TV series and podcast ,I wanna use ur steps with youtube
Thank you all for the lovely comments! If you purchase the book on Amazon through this link: amzn.to/3rVhdPh I will get a small commision (Affiliate Link) and in the description box and there is a very cool article about this book on my blog: www.lucalampariello.com/how-to-improve-your-foreign-language-immediately/ Stay tuned and thank you all again for the enthusiasm! You guys and girls rock ;-)
There is a new edition (5th one) from 2021 where the book is substantially cheaper than the usual price one would have to pay for it. For years I saw this book costing £130, £80, etc. You can still see those prices for the old editions in many websites. Really expensive for a 118 pages book. I know it is a book from the most famous FSI teacher but still the price sounded really prohibitive for most of us. Luckily, nowadays one can buy it for £11.00-£12.50 if you buy its last edition. This new edition has the same content than the one Luca shows in his video but the letters in the cover (excepting the "Immediately") are purple. Hope it helps.
Coming back soon! I am working on a gigantic course that will come out in a few weeks, it is taking most of my time. Once the course is out, I'll go back to making videos for you lovely people =)
I am amazed at the quality and content of your videos . Everything you recommend I test on myself and it works . Starting from the assimil courses to this book . The only problem I have is that I would like to learn Italian, which I love, and French, but I've heard that it's better to start with Spanish, which I like the least of the three. And then move to the other romance languages, is it worth to learn that way? Any advice?
Luca, eres impresionante. Si en el futuro algunos neurocientificos hicieran un estudio de tu cerebro seguramente descubrirían un centro del lenguaje hiper desarrollado. Considero esto un don, así como hay personas extremadamente dotadas musicalmente o para las ciencias matemáticas y físicas y así por el estilo. No creo que sea como tú dices que cualquier persona pueda aprender un idioma así como los aprendes tú; seguramente lo podremos aprender para que nos entiendan y poder entenderlos pero así como tú lo haces, de forma nativa en cada idioma ciertamente no. Algunos psicólogos consideran que existen 9 o hasta 11 formas de inteligencia, tú seguramente posees una inteligencia verbal sorprendente. Seguramente también te haya ayudado el hecho que has viajado mucho y tienes mucha facilidad para conocer personas y establecer relaciones, pero repito, tienes una condición genética de base que te hace superior al resto en el aprendizaje de idiomas. Tengo una curiosidad, ¿por qué aprendiste el inglés americano en lugar del británico? Te lo pregunto porque veo que hablas el español castizo y no el español americano. ¿El portugués lo hablas en su variante ibérica o brasilera?
Hola Luca, quiero agradecerte por tus obras en el aprendizaje los idiomas. Soy australiano y empecé a estudiar español para aprovechar del encerrado que hubo en Australia el año pasado. Tengo ganas de aprender ruso pero porque ruso es bastante más complicado de español (para mi) quiero preguntarte si tu das clases específicamente estructura por angloparlantes desde cero? Ya sé que hablas el ruso con un nivel muy alto
Hola Jimmy, te felicito por aprender el español lo haces muy bien, incluso redactas mejor que un nativo. Te agradecería que me dieras algunos consejos que te sirvieron para aprenderlo, quiero aprender inglés. Gracias
Hola! Si, por supuesto.. Deberíamos enfocarnos en los cuatro pilares de lenguaje. Escuchar, hablar, leer y escribir.. Lo más importante es enfocarte cada día y nunca permitas un día sin estudiar. Yo aprovecho cada segundo que pueda. Cuando estoy en camino a mi trabajo leo y escucho español, uso duolingo y otras aplicaciones también. Escuchar es lo mas importante.. Buena suerte :)
Hola Luca, harías un top 10 de los mejores libros que a vos te parecen los mejores para los que nos gusta aprender idiomas? Muchas gracias !! Saludos desde Argentina

Can you give us examples of the rules mentioned in this book because when I wanted to write carrots I faced difficulties🙏, thank you the video useful very useful ☺️🥀
Szia, azt szeretem a podcastjaidban, hogy részletesen átgondolva elmagyarázod, hogy a nyelvtanulás egy része sok-sok tudatos munkát igényel. Koncentrációt és odafigyelést, elemzést. Valahogy mintha a modern nyelvtanulási módszerek ezt el szeretnék tussolni.
Luca don't do the ridiculous TH-cam FACE, I clicked anyway...it almost looks like you were playing doing it! Got the book- the concepts are fantastic. I suspect polyglots automatically do most of the things he recommends.
@Luca Lampariello Ho guardato alcuni dei tuoi video, visto il sito, ci sono veramente tante informazioni interessanti. Mi perdo un pochino nel tutto. C'è per caso un libro/file che raccolga, riassuma tutto? Da acquistare per leggerlo? Non saprei da dove iniziare nel seguire le tua interessante tesi.
Ciao Michael! Grazie del messaggio! Ho un corso del mio metodo in inglese (con sottotitoli in inglese, francese, italiano, spagnolo e russo): www.lucalampariello.com/courses/ Fra poco ne esce un altro per studenti intermedi, ed sono orgoglioso del lavoro che sto facendo con la mia squadra, sta venendo benissimo =)
I find that no matter how well I organize my clothes, individual socks keep on disappearing. I'm starting to believe there's some kind of global conspiracy being that phenomenon. ^^
Hello my friend, my name is Robert Ramos Venezuelan, I am 49 years old, I currently live in Trinidad. I really like English but as we say in Venezuela, old parrot does not learn. I speak it little but I would like to speak fluently and without being wrong. I would like your help
Thank you, this is very interesting. Would you mind sharing an island of French sentences that you made for yourself? Or do you know anywhere that I can find islands in French that people have already made to get some ideas for myself?
It´s easy to use what I like when I know at least basics of the language. I can read the books, I can watch tv… But how do polyglots learn from scratch? What do you use for study when you know nothing at all? I want to learn Croatian now and I am pretty lost. I do not know what to do and I have also problems with materials because there is almost nothing for that language. Mobile applications I saw were pretty useless. I learned English and Italian at language school before and it was quite easy. But... there are no courses for croatian here so I have to rely on myself. Do you have any tip for the learning language basics please?
I'd start with ASSIMIL Croatian first =) That's how I started learning Serbo-Croatian. I also have an in-depth course that explains in detail how I learn any language from scratch. Just in case you are interested: www.lucalampariello.com/courses/ Good luck with everything! =) L

This book contains invaluable tips, questions and answers, and solutions to problems faced by anyone who studies a foreign language! Knowledge is power!

Ciao Luca. I'm trying to learn english and italian at the same time. I've been listening english for about two years, and last week I had a interview in english, but I can'T speak almost nothing....I was really nervous. And I think....my listening is good, I understand 90%, but...its not work IF we do not practice The speaking... What do you think IF I try to improve my speaking with italki or cambly?
Ciao Luca, ho appena finito di leggere questo libro, devo dire molto interessante. Consiglieresti di leggere qualche altro di Shekhtman? Es: Working with advanced foreign language students. Grazie mille
Luca I am a student in 8th grade and learning 3 languages . I have to go to school at 6:00 am and come at 3:00 pm . I also have to do homework. Can you pls give a schedule ? Languages- German, Spanish and Japanese. thx and love from india.Pls suggest . I would be grateful.
Hi Luca, A pronunciation note for you. You seem to have concentrated your English language efforts in the US English/Standard American English dialect. That happens to be my mother tongue. In that dialect the word "clothes" is pronounced as "close", just as if the "th" were not in the word at all. Here's a link to a youtube video demonstrating the pronunciation of "clothes". "th-cam.com/video/VA9xKx-2JrY/w-d-xo.html" Love your work ... have a great day! P.S.: Ordered the book as per your suggestion. P.S.S.: I used your affiliate link. I appreciate you making it easier for us to acquire it.
Hi in Australian English we pronounce it as clothes (clozes) True there is a difference in English pronunciation, USA, UK and Australian and to throw more into the mix listen to Kiwis / New Zealanders !!!! Good video Luca 👍
@@paulbuckley1715 Hi Paul, I didn't say it was pronounced that way everywhere in the US. I said it was pronounced that way in the Standard American English dialect.
I don’t know too many words😭😭😭too fast for me I understand little ishould write and repeat all the words I don’t know ?🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️I feel like I’m always a beginner
I studied with him to learn his method of teaching and learning for three years. And, yes, he was as amazing as any master teacher I have ever met. I spent ten years studying with Michel Thomas ( see my video on youtube about this experience). Both incredible teachers.

I worked with him for many years. He was a very talented linguist and my best Teacher. Thank you, Master! I remember all your ideas and thoughts.

The only clickbait video that really helps! Sei grande Luca!
Merci Luca! I’m in. Great video👍
Thanks, Luca. I'll get the book and see how I can use it to improve my personal language learning as well as my teaching.
Gracias Luca for your advice! Coming from you I have not doubt it works! I will definitely buy it!! God bless you! 6 Forte Luca!!

Why don't you make a detailed video about when you learned mandarin Chinese? And how did you do it
Good idea!
Jokes on you Luca. I keep all my clothes spread out on the floor so I can see it all at once!
When you truly study a language you understand that there are not shortcuts.
I find that no matter how well I organize my clothes, individual socks keep on disappearing. I'm starting to believe there's some kind of global conspiracy being that phenomenon. ^^

I like the Channel Name :D
Hi Luca, A pronunciation note for you. You seem to have concentrated your English language efforts in the US English/Standard American English dialect. That happens to be my mother tongue. In that dialect the word "clothes" is pronounced as "close", just as if the "th" were not in the word at all. Here's a link to a youtube video demonstrating the pronunciation of "clothes".
"th-cam.com/video/VA9xKx-2JrY/w-d-xo.html"
Love your work ... have a great day!
