Embrace feeling like an idiot: A chat with Benny Lewis from Fluent in 3 Months

Full-time traveller, polyglot, author and founder of Fluent in 3 Months, Benny Lewis is our first guest on Language Chats for the new year!

Benny is well known in the language learning world for his ‘speak from day one’ attitude and his popular blog, YouTube videos and books (Fluent in 3 Months and the Language Hacking series), through which he shares his experiences, strategies and tips for other people wanting to learn a language in a faster, smarter way.

Tune into this episode to hear from Benny about how he went from feeling like he just didn’t have the ‘language gene’ to speaking seven languages at B2+ level (and being conversational in many others), everything that Fluent in 3 Months encompasses and why he’s proud to be “the idiot polyglot that the world needs”.
