Reseñas
Certain sections of the book are outdated. That aside, the book is motivational
This was just the encouragement I needed to start really digging into a new language. If you have been frustrated by tradtional language courses please don't quit before you read this. It could use a more modern rewriting for our advanced technology but surely you would be smart enough to jump in on your own to find internet resources after reading what he has to say about using multiple resources. This is a great quick encouraging read... just try it!
Kind of prescriptive, but useful to know some of Farber's methods.

Some things I remember:
- Cassette tape learning (both pre-recorded, and recording yourself)
- Flash Cards
- Make conversation opportunities
- Make opportunities for learning
- Make memorable associations
- Don’t get hung up on grammar, use mistakes as learning opportunities
In the more than 30 years since this book was written, cassette tape technology has been replaced. So, use your preferred audio delivery technique.
