About this listen
Young Linguists teaches kids essential language skills fast. That means 20-24 minute daily lessons to help kids stay engaged, and frequent repetition, which is scientifically proven to reinforce learning. We also narrow down vocabulary to the most-used words and phrases so that you are learning what you can apply. The course may feel fast at first, and your child won't feel like you are picking up everything right away, but over the course of the sessions they will become increasingly familiar with the key words and phrases of the course.
The key to learning is to engage with the material and spaces are provided throughout the audio course to practice the appropriate pronunciation and to test understanding of Japanese vocabulary. These books also included detailed sections in English on effective strategies for learning new languages and ideas to carry on learning and applying what you know once the course is complete.
In addition, there are complete review sections for learning, comprehension and speaking repetition. This is a complete language course to get your child proficient in a new language in just four weeks. Over 500 different words and phrases are included across 40 different themes and sections, including the key building blocks of greetings, adjectives, quantities, questions and responses, colors, places, emotions, time, food, transport, animals, positions, lots of tourist situations—from shopping to the pool and multiple sentence construction examples. Deeper context on Japanese language and culture is also included throughout the course.

Language learning is seen as something incredibly difficult, and most speakers of English are brought up with the idea that we English speakers just aren't good at learning languages. But what if this isn't the true story? What if you could easily learn a new language and have fun doing it? In this book, I pull back the curtain to reveal the mindset and methodology of a polyglot. This book will dispel the myths, lay the foundations of the correct mindset for success, and inspire you to commit to learning that language you've always wanted to master.

Drawing on diverse studies of the mind, from psychology to linguistics, philosophy, and learning science, Art Markman, Ph.D., demonstrates the difference between "smart thinking" and raw intelligence, showing listeners how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge to get things done.

We all learn at least one language as children. But what does it take to learn six languages...or seventy? In Babel No More, Michael Erard, "a monolingual with benefits," sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers. On the way he uncovers the secrets of historical figures like Italian cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventy-two languages; Emil Krebs, a pugnacious German diplomat, who spoke sixty-eight languages; and Lomb Kat, a Hungarian who taught herself Russian by reading Russian romance novels.

Think smart people are just born that way? Think again. Drawing on diverse studies of the mind, from psychology to linguistics, philosophy, and learning science, Art Markman, Ph.D., demonstrates the difference between "smart thinking" and raw intelligence, showing listeners how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge to get things done. He then introduces his own three-part formula for listeners to employ "smart thinking" in their daily lives.

We all learn at least one language as children. But what does it take to learn six languages...or seventy? In Babel No More, Michael Erard, "a monolingual with benefits," sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers. On the way he uncovers the secrets of historical figures like Italian cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventy-two languages; Emil Krebs, a pugnacious German diplomat, who spoke sixty-eight languages; and Lomb Kat, a Hungarian who taught herself Russian by reading Russian romance novels.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
