The Language Hacking Method
Language Hacking is a completely different approach to language learning. It’s not something only ‘other people’ can do. It’s simply about being smart with how you learn: learning what’s indispensable and skipping what’s not. There’s no need to learn every word and grammar rule before you start using the language. Instead, Language Hacking gives you the most versatile phrases and most effective shortcuts to help you get fluent faster.
Language Hacking isn’t just a course. It’s a new way of thinking about language learning and how people communicate today. With the italki online language hacking community, you really can start speaking from day one!

About Benny
Benny Lewis used to be just like most of us—fluent in just one language, but with a nagging desire to learn more. After university, he moved to Spain to try and pick up Spanish but found himself no more fluent after six months than he’d been when he arrived. Frustrated, he decided to put his background in engineering to good use by developing a method that broke down language learning into universal milestones, focusing on acquisition through regular conversation. And this is where Language Hacking began!
Today, Benny is known throughout the language learning community as 'the Irish Polyglot' and is famous for his many online videos that document his language learning adventures around the world. He runs the internet’s biggest language learning blog, www.fluentin3months.com, and is the author of the bestselling book by the same name.

‘This unconventional course takes you through a series of missions designed to get you speaking the language as soon as possible. It shows you how to start conversations and keep them going, even when you don’t know much of the language’
Simon, from Omniglot.com
‘Benny kept students engaged from his intro video reel all the way to the final Q&A of the evening. He is a dynamic speaker with fascinating stories and great tips for making the most of your time abroad. . . Though we expected students to be more interested in the travel aspects of his presentation, so many of them wanted to know more about his language hacks during the Q&A’
