Learn the methods and tricks extraordinary language learners use
I've spent 5 years studying people who taught themselves over 10 languages and this is the conclusion I arrived at:
"You can learn a language on your own and in your home country."
In this course I'm going to share with you the method, practical tips and hacks typically used by those super language learners. I have applied them myself and I successfully learned to speak a few languages rapidly. And then I wanted to help others learn languages and I turned my research and experience into an intensive course.

Linguist Noam Chomsky maintains that the human brain has an innate language faculty, and that part of this biological endowment is a 'universal grammar', a theory of principles common to all languages. Thus, all human languages and the ways in which children learn them are remarkably similar. Chomsky's book Syntactic Structures was a turning-point in 20th-century linguistics, challenging assumptions in many areas such as philosophy, psychology and intellectual history.
So you want to learn another language? Great! You've chosen the one you want, and are ready to jump in with the learning? Fantastic! Now the REAL question: What is the best way to learn a language? This is one of the most asked questions by those in your position. It is also one of the most difficult to answer in a definitive, useful way. Most people who ask it are looking for the secret "trick" that will enable them to learn a language quickly and easily. They see the titles like Mastering Ancient Tibetan in 39 Seconds and are anxious to do just that! Those who have more experience (that is, have been learning languages for a while) are likely to answer with: it depends.
