Benny Lewis, a renowned polyglot who speaks over ten languages—all self-taught—runs the largest language-learning blog in the world, Fluent In 3 Months. Lewis is a full-time "language hacker," someone who devotes all of his time to finding better, faster, and more efficient ways to learn languages. Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World is a new blueprint for fast language learning. Lewis argues that you don’t need a great memory or "the language gene" to learn a foreign language quickly, and debunks a number of long-held beliefs, such as adults not being as good of language learners as children. What’s the secret to learning a language, not in years, but in months?

Benny Lewis is the founder of Fluent in 3 Months, one of the world's leading language-learning programs. As an engineering graduate from Ireland, he grew up speaking exactly one language, but now he speaks eight languages fluently, dabbles in twenty more, and has spent a quarter of a century traveling the world. He mastered the approach of speaking from day one and continues to share his methods with language learners worldwide, because if he can learn, anyone can.
