WHAT GETTING STARTED IS ALL ABOUT
Every path has a destination. The Everyday Language Learner’s Guide to Getting Started was written to make sure your language learning journey is on the path that leads to the destination you desire.
- Have you always wanted to know another language, but didn’t know where to start?
- Did you take Spanish or French in high school but have nothing to show for it?
- Have you always assumed learning another language would require you to sign up for a class?
- Do you know someone with whom you would love to speak their native language?
- Have put off starting long enough?
Do any of those apply to you? If so, then then this book may be your ticket to learning another language. Written to empower and inspire, I have one main goal with this book: I want to help you learn another language.
The Everyday Language Learner’s Guide will:
- Help you understand how we all learn languages naturally.
- Introduce you to three concepts that will empower you to learn.
- Begin a revolution in the way you think about learning another language.
- Help you to evaluate language learning opportunities.
- Give you the practical tools to get started and keep going.
- Introduce you to many great resources that are free for all to use.
- Empower you to access and capitalize on learning opportunities all around you.
- Help motivate you to be successful.
If you are struggling to figure out why the classes just aren’t cutting it.
If you have run into wall after wall in a long journey of boring text books.
If you are ready to take control and get the job done.
If this sounds familiar, then The Everyday Language Learner’s Guide to Getting Started may be for you.
"Developing content for your plan is the more difficult task. Without giving too much away, Myers provides ample advice on how to proceed one week at a time, using "comprehensible input" (appropriate material that is neither too hard nor too easy), multiple entry points and integrated review. Do I recommend this guide? Absolutely."

The Interviews
- Randy Hunt: I talked with Randy for nearly an hour about language learning and his journey to learn Spanish, Russian, Italian and now Turkish all the while living and working in Chicago. Randy is the author of The Yearlyglot blog.
- Dan and Amy: Dan and Amy are a tag team duo who are headed to China with their three kids. They didn't let time go to waste though as they began to study Chinese in earnest two years before they moved into the expat life. They offer amazing insights that will help those of you busy with families to get started learning the language and to get your kids started too.

What Others are Saying"Embarking on the journey of learning a new language is a daunting task for most of us. Even more daunting is choosing among the myriad of 'how-two guides' in the local bookstore or numerous products available on the infinitely expanding webosphere. So it comes as a real breath of fresh air to read Aaron Myers Getting Started Guide, which not only takes you step by step through the process of learning a new language but provides invaluable advice for getting past the hurdles all of us will have to face at one time or another along the way. If I had to recommend one resource for a new language learner wanting to know the most practical and efficient approach to starting their journey, it would be hard to beat this guide."
