Can you imagine you can learn hundreds of new words without effort? Yes, it's possible! Meet the Goldlist method! What is the Goldlist method? The Goldlist method is a simple vocabulary learning method using your long-term memory. The author of this method is the famous polyglot, David James. The basic rule of this method is that every day you write down a list of 20 words/expressions you want to learn in your notebook (we call it a headlist). Then you make 14-days break and come back to the list. You cover the expressions in your native language and translate them at loud. You sort out the expressions that you remember (you will find out you remember almost 30%!) and copy those you don't (14 expressions). This step we call 1st distillation. You wait next 14 days and repeat the process (2nd distillation). After the 2nd distillation, you sort out 10 expressions. Then after another 14 days, you make 3rd distillation, which the result is 7 expressions selected. More information you will find in our notebook. How does it work? This method uses your long-term memory. Because of that reason, it's so crucial you won't repeat the words from your headlist during the 14 days. The process of learning is making subconsciously and effortlessly. Try to not use another method to learn the vocabulary from your headlists. In that case, the words will proceed in your short-term memory and... you won't achieve the effect. With this 3-months notebook you will be able to learn 1680 new expressions! Why you should choose this notebook? It's not convenient to use standard stationery to make all processes so we decided to create the first notebook on Amazon dedicated to Goldlist practice! In this notebook you will find: introduction to Goldlist method with examples motivation page monthly learning planner 168 pages dedicated to 3 months of learning: you can create 84 different headlists, so you will be able to learn 1680 NEW EXPRESSIONS! Our notebook is printed on high-quality solid paper. Let's start your language adventure!

KAT LOMB (1909-2003) was one of the great polyglots of the 20th century. A translator and one of the first simultaneous interpreters in the world, Lomb worked in 16 languages for state and business concerns in her native Hungary. She achieved further fame by writing books on languages, interpreting, and polyglots. Polyglot: How I Learn Languages, first published in 1970, is a collection of anecdotes and reflections on language learning. Because Dr. Lomb learned her languages as an adult, after getting a PhD in chemistry, the methods she used will be of particular interest to adult learners who want to master a foreign language.

Here is an informative introduction to language: its origins in the past, its growth through history, and its present use for communication between peoples. It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages -- Teutonic, Romance, Greek -- helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a language as it is actually used in everyday life.

A “fascinating” (The Economist) dive into the world of linguistics that is “part travelogue, part science lesson, part intellectual investigation…an entertaining, informative survey of some of the most fascinating polyglots of our time” (The New York Times Book Review). 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 the nineteenth-century Italian cardinal Joseph Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventy-two languages, as well as those of living language-superlearners such as Alexander Arguelles, a modern-day polyglot who knows dozens of languages and shows Erard the tricks of the trade to give him a dark glimpse into the life of obsessive language acquisition. With his ambitious examination of what language is, where it lives in the brain, and the cultural implications of polyglots’ pursuits, Erard explores the upper limits of our ability to learn and use languages and illuminates the intellectual potential in everyone. How do some people escape the curse of Babel—and what might the gods have demanded of them in return?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.
