Acerca de esta escucha
Adults who want to learn a foreign language are often discouraged because they believe they cannot acquire a language as easily as children. Once they begin to learn a language, students may be further discouraged when they find the methods used to teach children don't seem to work for them. What is an adult language learner to do?
In Becoming Fluent, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from psychology and cognitive science to show that adults can master a foreign language if they bring to bear the skills and knowledge they have honed over a lifetime. Adults shouldn't try to learn as children do, they should learn like adults. Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that adults can learn new languages even more easily than children. Children appear to have only two advantages over adults in learning a language: they acquire a native accent more easily, and they do not suffer from self-defeating anxiety about learning a language. Adults, on the other hand, have the greater advantages - gained from experience - of an understanding of their own mental processes and knowing how to use language to do things. Adults have an especially advantageous grasp of pragmatics, the social use of language, and Roberts and Kreuz show how to leverage this metalinguistic ability in learning a new language.
Learning a language takes effort. But if adult learners apply the tools acquired over a lifetime, it can be enjoyable and rewarding.

Historia
Language learning is seen as something incredibly difficult, and most speakers of English are brought up with the idea that we English speakers just aren't good at learning languages. But what if this isn't the true story? What if you could easily learn a new language and have fun doing it? In this book, I pull back the curtain to reveal the mindset and methodology of a polyglot. This book will dispel the myths, lay the foundations of the correct mindset for success, and inspire you to commit to learning that language you've always wanted to master.

Historia
In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to learning effectively - secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions - you just need the creativity to see them.

That said, this book has a wealth of compiled answers to what may be your most frustrating questions about your language learning difficulties. Why you may not have thrived in a classroom setting. Why you may have, but those strategies don't work for you now. Why your continued hard work may not yield an appropriate amount of results.
This book is written by researchers of cognitive science and presents itself as such. It's heavy in terminology and expects you to reflect on the findings and statistics to construct an understanding of what works by explaining how things function. That isn't to everyone's taste, and that is fine. The tone can also come across as a bit dry at times for that same reason, and that can be a deal-breaker for some.
Personally, I think this is a perfect counterpoint to the Benny Lewis style of "guerilla language learning", so to speak. Where one is about radical action and execution, the other is about deep understanding of the mental process that takes. Neither is solely right or wrong, because each serves an independent goal that, taken together, is greater than the sum of its parts.
The one thing I'd like is an appendix that boils down the principles to make it easier to make sure that building your learning plan follows the most effective mental mechanisms, but it's nothing that isn't covered in the actual content if you listen with intention. All in all, definitely recommended not just as a language learning aid, but for the deeper concepts of learning in general.
Great if you approach it for what it is.
