How to Speak Any Language Fluently was a bit of a letdown for me; however, that may simply be because I was expecting too much/the wrong things from it. I bought this book after hearing a positive review from a polyglot YouTuber I recently started following. She speaks a number of languages but said she'd still found useful advice in this book, so I placed an order. I was therefore a little saddened to read through 200 pages only to learn nothing new. All the suggestions were things I'd already come across in blog posts or YouTube videos. I am giving this book 3-stars because I do think it would be of use to those who are new to language-learning outside of a classroom/school setting who don't know where to begin with self-study. However, if, like me, you've already been learning languages on your own for a while, there is probably nothing here you won't already have discovered either from other sources or through your own experience.
