Title: not exactly what the title promises
Product review: Instead of a handbook on language learning strategies, you might find that you have a primer on comparative linguistics. Here are some topics which are discussed:--Romance and Germanic word origins in the English language--differences in word order between languages--differences in letter-to-sound correspondence between languages--noun gender in European languagesIf any of this applies to the language which you are studying, it will all be explained in your language textbook anyway.I can say one thing in the author's favor: on pages 64-65, he stresses the importance of speaking aloud while studying. That is one bit of advice which one can follow without adding to the daily schedule.He promises that following this advice will help dramatically. I shall try it.
