In this episode, Benny Lewis from Fluent In 3 Months sits down and reveals all the best ways to learn a foreign language.

And wow, does he know what he’s talking about!

In the past 10 years, Benny has gone from only speaking English to now being conversational or better in 12 different languages, and his website has also helped tens of thousands of people do what their high school selves once thought was impossible.

In those 10 years, Benny has traveled all over the world, and he’ll share some of the best tips he picked up for saving money while traveling.

He’ll even tell you how he was able to get the “native price” for an apartment in Turkey without speaking the language and his secret haggling method that scored him a $3 waterfront villa in Goa.

Benny is THE definitive internet expert on how to learn a language in a unique, fun, and highly effective manner.

So if you’re someone who has always wanted to learn a language but never succeeded, you’ve got to give this a listen.

Note:  The audio is a little choppy at points between 8 minutes and 23 minutes but still listenable and the message is well worth it!
