Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Judith Meyer is a well-known polyglot and author of many language-learning materials. She originally became known as the mastermind and voice of GermanPod101 and later went on to found the Polyglot Gathering, a conference that brings together 300-500 of the world's greatest polyglots from around the world each year. Judith herself speaks 14 languages, including fluent Chinese and Modern Greek, and has read literature in 12 of these languages. A particular desire for her is to encourage people to study languages with a different writing system. Her "Script Hacking" method is designed to enable anyone, even newbie language learners, to acquire a new alphabet in just a few hours.

Judith did not have the advantage of growing up bilingual; her family hails from a small, very homogeneous little town near Düsseldorf, Germany, and Judith did not encounter any foreign language before she started taking English classes at school at the age of 10. Almost all of her 14 languages were self-taught after the "critical age", proving that there is no insurmountable obstacle to learning languages as an adult.

Judith continues to learn more languages and blogs about it at www.learnlangs.com as well as on her Youtube channel, where she also posts lectures and interviews that she has done in foreign languages (in the past few years, she was featured on Greek, French and Japanese TV as well as the Dutch national radio). When not learning languages or creating language content, she enjoys coding, reading, playing Igo, and practicing yoga.

Very helpful

I found this book to be very helpful for learning how to write the Russian alphabet. Just like with my native English letters there's a proper way to write Russian letters and I felt like this book showed you how without muddying up the process.

An introduction to the Cyrillic script

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book does not tackle the alphabet in order, but uses an algorithm which teaches you to recognize letters and common words in Cyrillic script.

Russian Script

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have made a number of efforts over the years to familiarise myself with the russian script but have failed.This method ,concentrating on each letter in turn ,providing easy excercises in writing the letter and recognising its use in different settings ,through repetition does fix it more effectively in the memory..I would highly recommend it for any student who does not have a natural facility in learning foreign languages.

Algorithmic method, but no stroke orders

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

The author is going by the algorithm on how to learn each alphabet from friendliest to least known. Reading and writing words after learning and familiarizing yourself with the Russian alphabet.
What makes this one star short of a five, is there are no stroke orders in printing or writing the alphabet.

She has a picture of the letter, then states to copy them multiple times, but does not say how to make the letter. I had to buy another book with the stroke orders, with downloadable audio.
The audio to listen with this book is from Teach Yourself, the app has had complaints from reviewers of not working properly and the company does not respond or just downright ignores the concerns.

The company Teach Yourself in order to get the app, want a lot of information to the point it seems like data mining or phishing.
