3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting but, ultimately, unhelpful book., 26 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book after struggling to get a grip on my Japanese language studies for about a year. Having now read the book, I feel it would have been more helpful if the title was changed to something along the lines of '3 rules for learning languages: choose an easy language; develop an obsesive interest in it; and then move to a country which speaks it.' The length of the book could then have been halved.

That is not to say that there isn't plenty to interest here, particularly if you have an interest in the development of, and similarities between, languages. But if you are hoping to discover something that you probably couldn't have worked out for yourself about study methods and exposure to language; or you have already chosen the language you want to learn (and it is not that closely related to the language you already speak), then you probably shouldn't waste be wasting your money here.
