Benny Lewis – Fluent in 3 Months Challenge Livestreams and Resources
Meet the man who makes the mission of learning any language possible!
The all-you-need guide to learning a language. Language hacker Benny Lewis shows how anyone anywhere can learn any language without leaving their home, using a simple toolkit and by harnessing the power of the Internet.
Benny definitely wasn’t born with the ‘language gene’. After graduating in electronic engineering in his native Ireland, he spent six months in Spain struggling to learn Spanish. This frustrating experience fueled his determination to take a different approach to learning foreign languages.
Today he speaks over ten languages including Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, and Hungarian. He has also learnt Japanese in Spain. This typifies one of his ‘3-month challenges’ where he targets a new language and proceeds to become fluent in it within just three months. He charts his progress on his blog, proving that his techniques allow anyone to learn a language from anywhere.
Benny’s blog, also called Fluent in 3 Months, is the largest language learning blog in the world.
The Key Principles of Benny’s Method:
- Speak from day one: Find mother-tongue speaking partners online. Don’t be self-conscious – keep the flow going!
- Change your mindset: Ditch the excuses, you can do it!
- Stay focused and determined: Even if you don’t have much time, never forget the goal you’ve set yourself and work at it.
- Learning a language doesn’t need to be expensive: There is a wealth of free resources out there, if you know where to find them.
- Reap the rewards! Learning a new language is not an end in itself, but a means to meeting new people and discovering new cultures. Curiosity will fuel your determination.
Introducing the Fluent in 3 Months Challenge: Have Confident Conversations in Your New Language
You can speak a new language in real conversations. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Not when you’ve learned an entire dictionary and you’ve got perfect grammar. Right now.
The Fluent in 3 Months Challenge is about speaking a new language now through having real conversations. I’ve found that this is the single most effective way to learn a language.
Time and again students tell us “I always wanted to learn a new language, and I tried a million different techniques, but it only actually happened when I tried the Fluent in 3 Months method.”
What to Expect From the Course
The Fluent in 3 Months Challenge is designed to help you achieve fluency in a language through practical methods and consistent practice. By using Benny’s step-by-step blueprint, you’ll be able to confidently converse in your target language, regardless of your current level. The course is structured for both beginners and intermediate learners, helping you progress from knowing nothing to holding actual conversations.
Through this challenge, you will gain exposure to real-world situations where you can practice your language skills. Benny provides tried and tested methods to help you engage in meaningful conversations from day one. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or personal growth, this course gives you the confidence to communicate effectively and comfortably in any language.
The course is not about sitting at a desk and memorizing textbooks. Instead, it’s about immersing yourself in the language and engaging with native speakers. By using tools like italki and Anki, you’ll learn how to engage with real-world language resources, improving both your vocabulary and fluency.
Data Alert! Here are the Crunchy Numbers
During the Challenge, you’ll be giving a handful of hours each week to language learning. Over 90 days, you’ll clock up 40-50 hours of learning time. If you use the right techniques — and we’ll teach you the exact methods to use — then that’s plenty enough time to get to conversational level.
After 90 days, you’ll be ready for a 15-minute conversation in your new language. In fact, we guarantee you’ll have a 15-minute conversation. Put the work in, and you’ll have a 15-minute conversation by the end of the Challenge. Or I’ll give you your money back.
