This book taught me how to fuel my motivation, set effective goals, and build the habits that will carry me through the inevitable difficult times. Additionally, I learned how to identify, curate and even create the materials I need to make maximum progress in minimum time.
My strongest recommendation would be to take one of Luca's courses if you can. But short of doing that, as a first step, read this book and let it be your guide.

Hi! My name is Luca Lampariello
⚡
I’m the founder of the Smart Language Learning Academy
⚡
I currently know 15 languages, 10 of which I speak at a fluent level
⚡
I've developed and refined a series of language learning methods to help language learners reach fluency in a more efficient, adaptable and enjoyable manner!
⚡
Since 2008, I've helped hundreds of thousands of viewers on their paths to becoming fluent via my YouTube channel that has nearly 250K subscribers
⚡
I’ve also spent the last 12 years working independently as a language coach and building courses on how to learn foreign languages
⚡
In fact, I’ve made it my life’s mission to not only learn as many languages as I possibly can, but to also help people achieve their language learning goals. People like you!
Testimonials
I speak multiple languages and although my experience differs from Luca's, I arrived at similar conclusions, especially when it comes to the basic principles of language learning. I couldn't agree more with his approach to grammar and vocabulary! Luca has revolutionized my mindset regarding the early stages of learning - thank you!
Zofia
Mesmerising. Moving. Methodical. Luca’s book digs deep into his personal life and gives us a glimpse of the madness behind the madman’s polyglot mind. It doesn’t overpromise and it never takes language learning lightly, but it does provide a language learning blueprint for the mere mortals. Let’s start a revolution! Vamos :)
Aleks
I have paid for SO many courses and tutors to learn French! Three years later, while I've acquired a good base and consider myself intermediate, I've never been able to move past this phase, no matter how hard I study. Until I read Luca's book! I've been working hard, but not SMART, but that's about to change! I cannot wait to implement these SMART methods. A game changer!
Wendy Dutwin
Before this ebook, I felt stuck in my language learning, doing things I didn't enjoy. The book brought back the excitement I had when I started. It made me rethink how I was learning and helped me find joy in it again. Thanks to this, I now study with more energy and happiness
Maximiliano Vega
In each of the ten chapters, Luca draws on personal experiences from his journey of foreign language learning. Here, he is not concerned with telling the reader exclusively his success story. He speaks to both success and setbacks, analyzing the mistakes he made along the way.
It shows that the learning process of any foreign language is hard work, even for people like Luca. It is a must-read for any language learner!
Sybille Backert
It has been an eye-opening book! I'm not someone who enjoys reading so the fact that it comes with an audiobook is perfect!
Now I know how to set proper goals, not only for language learning, but for any aspect of life! All thanks to the amazing tips Luca gives in this book. 100% recommended.
Mariam Garcia
Though you could read the book, write some key points and be done with it, the real treasure lies in Luca's thought process. He offers personal stories that help shed light on the deeper meaning that lies behind each chapter's title. Like any good book, I've been left pondering each story, juxtaposing each one with my own personal experiences and coming back with an "aha moment" every single time.
Daniel Budiansky

The SMART Content
The 10 Essential Rules to SMART Language Learning contains the 10 most important rules for learning any language. They’re based on Luca’s powerful trifecta of mindset, skill set and self-organization.
Establishing a powerful “why” is something most learners forget to do, and that’s why so many give up when the going gets tough. It can make or break one’s language learning experience!
Staying motivated in language learning is almost impossible when your goals are vague and unclear. Here, you’ll learn how to set clear and well-defined short-term goals to keep your mind focused on your target language.
Goals are great, but they mean absolutely nothing without proper daily habits. You’ll find out how to build long-lasting daily habits that will make language learning feel as natural as breathing.
Inexperienced learners fall victim to the paradox of choice and end up either choosing too many resources or none altogether. You’ll learn how to select the learning resources that best suit your needs, level, and learning style.
To design the best strategy for learning a new language you need to follow 3 key principles that only the most experienced learners are aware of. With these principles in mind, you’ll find it easier to design your own learning routine to fit your busy schedule.
Find out why developing your input skills is of the utmost importance. On top of that, you’ll learn how to structure your input practice.
Traditional language teaching is completely ineffective. Here, you’ll discover the proper way to internalize grammar without boring drills and conjugation tables.
Uncover the benefits of a robust listening practice, and the huge downsides that come from not doing enough listening in the long-run. You’ll also learn how to integrate listening practice on the daily in a natural and fun manner.
There are better ways to absorb vocabulary than lists and flashcards. Use your time and energy in a better way by familiarizing instead of memorizing!
Language learning is hard work, but it doesn’t have to be a chore. I will show you how to structure your daily learning routine so that you’ll look forward to doing it every single day.

Rather than merely providing you with a set of techniques, this book emphasizes the importance of the feel and emotional connection one has to a language. As the author states, “You can buy an object, but you cannot buy a skill.”
No, only hard work, dedication and the appropriate methods will take you to fluency. However, this book can guide you on your path to fluency. Showing you the mentality, strategies and organization needed in order to succeed.
The methods and strategies discussed in this book are primarily for beginner and intermediate level learners, but even advanced language learners can discover something new to add to their language learning repertoire.
You can always download the book and enjoy it as much as you’d like at your own pace. However, we do recommend reading and listening to it at the same time, as well as taking it like a course. By doing so, you’ll be applying the knowledge you’ve learned from the book directly to your language learning process. Win-win-win!
No, by buying the ebook you also get the audiobook and interviews automatically.
Learning a language is as much about consumption (input) as it is participation (output). Therefore, we encourage you to reflect on what you have read, discuss it in the comments with your peers and apply the most practical aspects to your learning today!
As of right now, no. However, depending on the book’s success, if there’s enough demand for other languages, we will make it available in the most requested languages.
