How long does it take to learn a new language? How many words do you need to learn? Are languages within the reach of everybody? Which teachers should we avoid?

These are some of the questions you ask yourself when you or your children start to learn a new language. The Word Brain provides the answers.

Download the free PDF (81 pages). A tablet will be fine to read the book. If your children or grandchildren learn a second language, please consider offering them the print edition (available on Amazon for around $10). A book is more than a PDF.
