Description
Benny Lewis is the ambitious Irish lad behind Fluent in 3 Months, the world's largest language learning blog with a million visitors per month. He has published an international best-selling book of the same title, and a series of language courses, been awarded the title of National Geographic's Traveler of the Year, and he speaks almost a dozen languages in varying degrees between mastery and quite well. All of this is despite being a weak student of languages in school, and actually studying electronic engineering and only being able to speak English in his early 20s. He makes it his mission to inspire as many people as he can that anyone can learn a language, at any age, from anywhere in the world. And yeah. He's an ADHD dream. Enjoy the episode!
