easy and affordable for anyone with a desire to communicate
effectively with people around the world. By applying over 100
simple tips to things you already do, such as listening to music or
surfing the Web, you can experience the joy of "fluency" in any
language without having to study abroad or spend money on private
tutors. In Language is Music, Susanna Zaraysky masterfully shares
her listening methods so that anyone can have fun learning any
language. With over 100 tips and 100 free or low-cost Internet
resources, you will learn how to use daily activities, such as
watching T.V. or listening to music; conversation partners; and
attendance at cultural events to become a masterful speaker of any
tongue. "Learning foreign languages is like learning to sing a song
or play music," says self-made linguist Susanna Zaraysky and author
of Language is Music. Zaraysky has what you might call "an ear" for
languages, having used music to successfully learn English,
Russian, French, Spanish, Ladino, Italian, Portuguese, and
Serbo-Croatian-all with excellent accents. (Third Edition published
in January 2014.) Advance Praise for Language is Music Language is
Music is music for the mind Susanna Zaraysky has crammed this
little book with big ideas about how to learn a language, including
a multitude of extremely practical tips and applications. As one
who has dabbled in many languages and speaks a couple fluently, I
highly recommend it for anyone who wants to speak another language.
-John Perkins, New York Times Bestselling Author of Confessions of
an Economic Hit Man "I love it I think it will help people who want
to learn, and those who are curious about additional language
learning. Many people want to learn a language but are frightened,
or disappointed by the courses they have taken. Reading Language is
Music will encourage them to try again, on their own and with
friendly supporters." -Dr. Elba Maldonado-Colon, Professor
Department of Elementary Education Bilingual Program, San Jose
State University "LET IT JUST ROLL OFF YOUR TONGUE. With lyrical
insight and solid experience, Susanna Zaraysky, author of Language
is Music, provides easy steps for learning a language. Gone are the
boring, disconnected strategies that most of us remember from
school. You've never learned a language this quickly and easily.
Zaraysky's methods embody fun, connection, rhythm, and above
all...music." -Suzanne Lettrick, M.Ed Educator and Founder of The
Global Education and Action Network "Forget dictionaries and phrase
books . . . Susanna Zaraysky's easy-to-use guide to language
learning is indispensable for any serious language learner wanting
to become fluent--not just conversationally proficient--in another
language. Language is Music will teach you how to make language
acquisition a part of your daily life, and to recreate the kind of
total-immersion environment necessary for fluency. Highly
recommended reading for aspiring polyglots. Pick up this book and
you too will be all ears " -Justin Liang, Japanese, Mandarin,
Cantonese, Marshallese, intermediate Spanish "Back in France, I
spent many years learning "academic" English in school. But I
progressed much faster when I forced myself to listen to the BBC or
not look at the subtitles when watching an American movie. I wish I
had Susanna's book with me then. It's full of creative ideas and
practical tips that are indispensable complements to the
traditional methods of learning foreign languages -- and it's
coming from someone you can trust, she speaks so many of them "
-Philippe Levy, French native speaker
