Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It
The ultimate rapid language-learning guide! For those who’ve despaired of ever learning a foreign language, here, finally, is a book that will make the words stick.

With stories, examples, and vibrant activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any manager how to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action.
