Gabe Wyner is the author of Fluent Forever and a polygot.

So why do most people fail to learn a language—even after years of study? What role do emotion, memory, and even embarrassment play in mastering a language? And how is AI changing everything?

Expect to learn why most language learning methods fail, how pronunciation affects your memory, what it really means to “dream in a language,” why learning vocabulary out of context doesn’t work, the power of meaningful, personal connections to words, what “building islands” of fluency means and why it works, why traditional flashcards suck and what works better, how immersion only helps if you’re engaged, the role of AI and spaced repetition in modern learning, and why learning a language is also about learning to learn.
