I'm a native English speaker just starting out learning Arabic. I bought this book because I figured it's a short read and it might have some good pointers. I was not disappointed at all. Not only did this book give me some advice I hadn't considered but it also helped me see where I was already using good learning practices. I read it in a few hours of course I will be reading it again along my journey because it will be a great resource. I also have a close friend trying to learn English and I want her to read this book for the same reason. Definitely buy it if you are learning a language. It is a blessing.

Pat.

A great "primer" for learning languages quickly - there are many out there, computer and web-based, but somehow the book form makes it easier to digest. These hints and guidelines will help anyone who wants to learn a new language quickly!

Fluent On The First Try is a short and quick read with helpful tips on learning a new language. I've attempted several times to learn a new language and quit after several months. So I decided to give Lupis' book a try. In her book, she gives some useful advice that I can now incorporate into my own learning process. Key takeaways for me were: Don't be critical of yourself in learning a new language, and don't compare yourself to other learners. Those tips should help me in my quest to become fluent.

Fluent On The First Try is a very good resource with helpful advice and references to other language learning outlets. Four stars.

I received a digital copy from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

A truly great little book which achieves it's purpose on getting you to practice your language learning. Many great little ideas there (although I'm still searching for modern film subtitles in Hebrew) but you can feel the genuine enthusiasm for you to succeed burst through the pages. Not a book on how to, more a book on how to get yourself to but thoroughly worth it.

Disclaimer: received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

The author writes multiple methods on how to approach learning a new language and steps you can take to create sustainable habits to follow through. I agree with her on all the steps and the change in mindset that it takes to learn something new.

However, I do think this book can be condensed into an article. She does provide a checklist at the end of each chapter, summarizing the points she made.

Overall, I say this book is a good starting point for beginners new to learning a language or someone who got overwhelmed in the learning journey and need to re-center themself.

Fluent On The First Try by Federica Lupis was exactly what I needed to read and at just the right time as I struggle through the process of attempting to learn a second language. The tips provided are clear, practical, concise and, most importantly, seem to unlock the secret to achieving optimum success. I very much look forward to putting these suggestions into practice with renewed enthusiasm as I continue on my learning journey.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an ARC.

Such great tips in this book for learning a language. I have always struggled, so I found this really helpful.

★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.
Many of us have begun to learn a language or at least thought, "I should try." Maybe it's because you want to travel. Maybe your nana or your neighbor speaks another language. Maybe you just want to touch the heart of someone from another culture.

Lupis encourages us to start! Then have fun and persist. Don't give up too soon. These practical tips, realistic roadblocks, and anecdotes of language learning and the rewards of knowing other languages besides our mother tongue/s will cheer you on.
