About the Author
Gill James has published several collections of teaching materials, which emphasise the students' control of their own language learning. She has worked for 25 years teaching modern languages both in schools and as a private tutor to adults of all ages. It was in the course of offering private tuition that she discovered the way, outlined in this book, of making the learning of languages more effective. This has also led to the formation of Gill's language school, Bridge House Languages, which works on these principles.

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Learning a Language (Paperback)
The advice provided in this book is fairly generic and can be applied to learning any new skill. The only tip I found was to collect as many words and phrases as possible in a topic that interested me.
This book only covers learning Western European languages, such as French, Dutch or German. It does not describe how to learn other types of language, such as languages that use a different alphabet (e.g. Russian or Greek) or analytic languages (e.g. Chinese). This book is best for someone who is thinking of learning a foreign language. Anyone who is actually studying a foreign language isn't likely to pick up many tips from this book. Kam-Hung Soh
