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.

Kalila wa Dimnah is a collection of fables of Indian origin translated into Arabic in the eighth century by Abdullah Ibn Al Muqaffa. The work was translated into many languages and is said to have inspired Jean de La Fontaine and other compilers of fables. Kalila wa Dimnah belongs to the "mirror of princes" literature genre, and its stories put moral and political advice into the mouths of animals to explain questions of social life and princely wisdom.

Do you know the number-one frustrating challenge that Arabic beginners face at the beginning of their Arabic language quest? That's right. Its vocabulary. Acquiring vocabulary is a dreaded phase for any beginner, and people generally struggle to grow their vocabulary. They see it as a straining and extensive period which never seems to end. This book has hundreds of vocabulary words that are useful and relevant. I have used them in a fun and engaging way.

Publisher's summary
Lebanese Arabic is a language spoken by millions of people, and is a great choice for children who are interested in learning a new language. Kids Phonics teaches kids the words and phrases they need to quickly start speaking Lebanese Arabic, with 28 short, daily lessons that are designed to keep kids engaged.
Our timed repetition method helps to build retention, and we focus on the most commonly used words and phrases, often using a "frequency dictionary" approach. This means that your child will learn words that they are likely to use on a regular basis, and will be able to see quick results from their language learning efforts.
In addition to teaching vocabulary, this course also includes detailed sections in English on effective strategies for learning new languages, as well as tips on how to continue learning once the course is complete.
The course includes review sections for learning, comprehension, and speaking tasks, making this a complete language course that can help your child become proficient in Lebanese Arabic in just one month (four weeks).
Over 500 different words and phrases are included across more than 30 themes, topics, and sections, covering key building blocks such as greetings, adjectives, quantities, questions and responses, colors, places, emotions, time, food, transport, animals, and positions. Our multiple sentence construction examples provide plenty of practice, and although grammar is only taught through example in this audiobook, which focuses on speaking and oral comprehension, your child will have all the tools they need to start speaking Lebanese Arabic confidently.
Lebanese Arabic is a fascinating language with a rich history and usage around the world. By learning this language, your child will be able to communicate with a wide range of people and gain a deeper understanding of the culture and traditions of the Lebanese people. With Kids Phonics, learning Lebanese Arabic has never been easier.

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.

When it comes to creating ideas, we hold ourselves back. Thats because inside each of us is an internal editor whose job is to forever polish our thoughts, so we sound smart and in control, and so that we fit into society. But what happens when we encounter problems for which such conventional thinking fails us? How do we get unstuck? For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting....

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.
