Unconventional language hacking tips from Benny the Irish polyglot; travelling the world to learn languages to fluency and beyond!
In the last eight years, I’ve invested serious time into learning 16 languages (so far; I’ll be giving clues to the 17th one in the e-mail list throughout August, to be started in September. You can sign up to that at the bottom of this page if you think you’ll be able to figure it […]
Making a video in a foreign language is incredibly easy, even if you have just started to learn it. I made a minute long segment of my video entirely in Turkish this week just a few days after starting to learn it and have been getting great feedback and encouragement from people once they had […]

As requested, I’ll be giving regular updates on how I’ve been adjusting to a new culture and learning a new language. In future I’ll send this […]
From the blog’s origin era (2009–2014) — kept as lived proof of the method. See all the missions. It’s time for a new language mission! DUTCH! I’ve just arrived in Amsterdam, and I plan to speak fluent Dutch by May 31st (so technically not even 2 months; actually in 8 weeks). There’s many ways to […]
It’s easy to look at someone who already speaks a second language and just think that it comes naturally to them. Perhaps if you see something like the video of me sharing my salsa learning experience in pretty good Spanish, you might think that speaking Spanish was just my destiny. I’m “naturally talented” with languages […]
From the blog’s origin era (2009–2014) — kept as lived proof of the method. See all the missions. It’s time for the first language mission of 2011! I am actually hoping to work on four new languages by September, so this is going to be one hell of a year, and I hope you’ll subscribe […]
