In this video, I dive into the 10 lessons I learned from Gabriel Wyner's best-selling book, Fluent Forever, and how it revolutionized my language learning journey. As someone who struggled with Spanish in Latin America for survival and work, I found Gabe's evidence-based approach, self-directed learning philosophy, and emphasis on role models like himself incredibly impactful.

Through this book, I learned to personalize my learning, perfect my pronunciation, focus on high-frequency words, simplify grammar, and shift from translation to thinking directly in the target language. While the book had some gaps, especially regarding advanced fluency and speaking practice, the foundational strategies it offered were instrumental in my success, leading me to achieve the DELE B2 Spanish certificate and continue learning other languages.

Join me as I share how Fluent Forever transformed my language learning journey and explore practical tips to help you on your path to fluency.
