Benny Lewis

In 2003, Irish native Benny Lewis spoke only one language: English. After college, he moved to Spain and was soon frustrated that he could not speak Spanish despite months of trying. So he decided to abandon traditional learning approaches, and everything changed.

Today Benny is the known as The Irish Polyglot and speaks over 10 languages, several at a fluent level. He also now runs the largest language learning blog in the world, fluentin3months.com, which receives more than half a million unique visitors every month, and he makes frequent videos on his YouTube channel to encourage newbie language learners.
