Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It
In 2004, Fluent Forever founder Gabriel Wyner was an engineer with a passionate hobby of singing opera. However, singing in opera would require him to sing in German, French, Italian, and other languages. Wanting to further explore his passion, he set out to become fluent in the languages demanded by the craft. Wyner’s journey began in Vermont, where he spent a summer at the Middlebury Languages School in a German immersion program. After just five weeks, Wyner was singing in German and decided to pursue a professional opera career.
Wyner’s love for languages and fervor for fluency drove him to move to Vienna, Austria in 2007, where he attended the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. There, in 2012, he earned a master’s degree with honors in Song and Oratorio. While living in Europe, Wyner spent two months in Perugia, Italy, where he learned Italian. Two years later, he completed a summer French immersion program at the Middlebury Language Schools’ West Coast site at Mills College in Oakland, California, and in 2012, returned to Middlebury Languages School in Vermont for the third time for a Russian immersion program.
That same year, Wyner published a widely-read Lifehacker article about his formula for fluency and soon after landed a publishing offer. In August 2014, Wyner’s first book “Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It” was published and has since shipped more than 146,000 copies, becoming a best seller in April 2018.iv In September 2017, Wyner launched a Kickstarter campaign to support the development of the Fluent Forever app, which has gone on to be one of the most funded apps in Indiegogo crowdfunding history, raising a total of nearly $1.7 million.
