Every Monday I send out an e-mail with a language hacking tip, links to the Internet’s best free resources for language learning and then I end by asking the league a question. E-mails also include behind the scenes updates from the fluent in 3 month project and advanced news on upcoming language missions, and on the Language Hacking Guide. The responses and feedback I’ve been getting have been incredible from the almost 400 people who have signed up so far. If you’d like to join us, just fill in your name and e-mail on the right – you can unsubscribe at any time of course!
