Irishpolyglot – Language Hacking Guide
The Language Hacking Guide explains exactly what you need to do to speak a language quickly.
Rather than read through the guide to find out my one major ‘secret’, I can tell you right now. You need to speak the language from day one.
No years of studying grammar, no expensive and complicated software, no “magic pill” to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately. The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.
Even though this may be obvious, how you actually speak a language that you have just started to learn seems almost impossible to many people. So they’ll wait until they are “ready”. That wait may be years, or they may simply never even try.
But it’s not actually that hard! That’s what the Language Hacking Guide is about.
The social/confidence context of a language ignored in academic courses
It sounds so obvious, but most courses skip the most crucial aspects of communication and focus on nothing more than the content, as if knowing the grammar and a list of random words will magically have you speaking fluently.
Hiding away in your room with an audio course is never going to get you to speak the language. Only practice can do that. I have met thousands of people who have been disappointed by such courses that completely ignore these crucial questions, all of which are the focusof the Language Hacking Guide and are discussed and explained in detail:
How to practise a language every day for free with natives even if you can’t travel to their country. (p. 164)
How to easily express all you’ve learned even if you’re a shy introverted person like so many other beginning language learners. (p. 127)
How to make sure that natives won’t feel frustrated at your “feeble” attempts to speak their language. (p. 117)
When you will be ready to speak. (p. 55)
What to do if you suddenly have to move to your spouse’s country or for work reasons, or have an upcoming trip and don’t have the time to invest months into input-based learning. (p.158)
And there are a bunch of other questions more relevant to the human aspect of speaking a language that you can never get the answer to in grammar/vocabulary courses. I have learned all of these the hard way through years of field testing in immersion environments. Why should you have to go through the same struggle? All the information in the Guide has been compiled to help best guide people towards fluency in their target language as quickly as possible.
What is included in the Language Hacking Guide and how much is it?
The guide is an instant download that includes:
E-books with the core information in four formats: standard PDF (for reading on a computer screen), ePub (for iPad / iPod / Sony reader / Android etc.), Mobi (for reading on the Amazon Kindle) and printer-friendly versions.
Full translations of the Guide to be read in several languages. All content (the 32,000 word e-book in 4 separate file formats* and the worksheets) is provided right now in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Dutch, Irish, Czech and Vietnamese. Very soon, even more languages will be included – all as a free update. All of the content was translated by natives so that you can get immediate exposure to your target language to get a feel for it and attempt to read it, using the English (or other) version as a reference.
Lists of many free resources for practising any language. No expensive courses required. This means you will save money that you may otherwise waste on courses.
Worksheets to perform tasks to make sure you are on the right track. Also translated.
Almost 3 hours of audio interviews with some of the Internet’s best known language learners and polyglots, to see what has helped them achieve so much with their languages. English transcripts are also included.
*Note: Mobi format on Kindle does not support Hebrew & only half works for Chinese. It does however support the PDF versions of these languages very well!
There are two download options:
1. FULL multilingual package
You can get all of this content right now and all language updates for US$59.
Apart from ALL the languages listed above, I have confirmed that the next FREE update very soon will also include Russian and even more will be on the way in future updates, sent completely free to all purchasers.
The information in the guide is absolutely unique and cannot be found anywhere else. Many people (see testimonials on the right for example) have said that the multimedia content is worth several times what they have paid.

2. English-only content
Even if your target language isn’t included among the translations yet, the tips given can be applied for any language.
If you just want the information and are not interested in the native-written translations then you can get the English only version, with exactly the same content listed above (main book in four file formats, worksheets, hours of audio and free updates) but without the translations, for US$49.

Focus entirely on communication
Preparation is great, but no matter how much you study, you still need to know how to communicate in a language.
Apart from mentioning some fun techniques I use to learn vocabulary and phrases, most of the guide is about the techniques that very experienced language learners, including myself, use to enable you to speak. This guide is about how to be confident enough to speak a language, no matter what your level is.
I’ll actually shoot myself in the foot in terms of making sales and tell you why you shouldn’t buy the Language Hacking Guide:
Want to write perfectly in the target language? Just understand foreign movies better? Pass a grammar exam? Don’t buy it: this guide is about confidently conversing with natives of a foreign language.
Want to magically master a language overnight with little work? Never going to happen. You need to actually apply the advice in the guide (that’s why worksheets are included) rather than simply read it, and change your mentality about what is involved in order to speak a language. It will be hard work, but I have lots of fun techniques I apply to make it a very enjoyable experience

Still not sure…
Buying something online is always a tricky issue! You never know who you are buying from and if all they really want to do is just swindle you out of you money.
I’m not an Internet sales guru – my passion and focus is languages. Every three months I start learning a new language (usually aiming for fluency, hence the name of my blog fluentin3months) using the techniques explained in the guide.
You can see in the video above that I do indeed speak 8 languages fluently. It’s not just for the video, I live my life entirely through those languages – for example I only hung out with Italians in Rome, danced tango in Spanish in Buenos Aires and I used the same techniques to learn how to speak pretty good Czech and get by in Thai (click to see videos in each of those languages). I funded my travels in recent years by translating technical documents, but I’d rather focus on helping others learn languages and sales of this guide help support me in doing so.
This may sound quite impressive, but the most important part of my story that you need to remember is that I only spoke English when I was 21! Even if you also had trouble with languages in school, I really hope that this guide can help you gain a similar passion and apply it in the real world!
This isn’t just my advice either: most of the passionate language learners interviewed (two of whom each speak dozens of languages!) learned their languages as adults thanks to a positive attitude and efficient learning technique that we explain in detail. If they all only spoke English when they finished high school, then think of what your potential is!
You will get an idea of what I’m about by reading some blog posts. Click the logo on the top-right of this page to see my latest posts. Check out “Most popular posts” in the sidebar to see some articles read by over 100,000 people (each).
I practise what I preach and share my language learning progress in my latest mission on this blog, but the information was completely rewritten and many more language hacks were added to the Language Hacking Guide in such a way that you can learn to do what I and what other successful language learners do much easier and much more systematically.
