Books by Benny Lewis

Benny Lewis (Brendan Lewis) is an Irish polyglot, blogger and self-styled 'language hacker.' After leaving university with an engineering degree and, by his own account, no ability in any language but English, he spent his twenties travelling and teaching himself to speak Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Esperanto and others, later tackling languages as distant as Mandarin. He founded Fluent in 3 Months, one of the most-read language-learning sites, and was named a National Geographic Traveler of the Year in 2013. His book distills the speak-from-day-one philosophy he teaches there.
