Free Your Tongue
What Your Language Teacher Won't Teach You
Mr. Graham Alexander
This book is the revolution that language learning has been waiting for! It is a step by step journey covering the major hurdles we all face when speaking in a second language. Based on nearly a decade and a half of second language teaching and living, this insightful guide gives the reader a true understanding of how to break down their inner mental hurdles and free their tongue.
The book opens with a simple premise;
WE CAN all speak, but when it comes to a second language most often WE WON'T speak.
With over a decade of living in, and teaching of a second language, the author has come to draw the following conclusions:
Most learners don't know how they learn.
Most teachers don't know how people learn.
Identical study does not mean identical language production.
More study does not mean better speaking ability.
We often sabotage our own speaking ability
Being able to speak a language is not a genetic thing.
There are only two driving forces behind being able to speak a second language.
Knowing and using a second language are totally different things.
`Free Your Tongue - What Your Language Teacher Won't Teach You' allows you to unlock your voice and speak with ease.
With simple, straightforward, and easy to understand explanations, this book is designed for anyone from the high school student and above to use.

With literally millions of second language conversations behind him, Graham Alexander shares his understanding of the habits we all have that sabotage our second language production.
