Some years ago I read some of Lozanov’s writings on Suggestopedy (use of the right-hemisphere [brain’s] potentialities and the unconscious in facilitating the learning of foreign languages). Now I’ve seen a tape Chris Lonsdale recorded in China, for students attending. It’s surely another important contribution to the field of Psychology of Learning.

A very interesting read for those who want to learn foreign languages. Claimed by the author as a 'practical guide' to language learning, the book to me is more a collection of motivational stories and personal advice than a technical guide to achieve foreign language fluency. The main techniques presented- immersing yourself to the language, be mindful of the patterns and 'audibols'-only works when the person has acquired certain knowledge of the language and for audio-lingual learners. It may..more
He makes some valid points, but most of it is just common sense. On the whole, I was disappointed by the book's shallowness. Further, it would have been nice to see some research backing up his assertions, as opposed to a series of anecdotes (mostly from his own experience). I've resisted reading this book for a long time because I had my doubts about it, but since it was just sitting there on Jenn's shelf and it's not very long, I figured why not?

This book has some good tips and reminders on how to learn a language. Like others have mentioned a lot of it is antidotal stories, which I didn't mind as much, but I was expecting more. Some of the writing and grammar took me out of it (It DOES use a 'NOT!' joke) so I had trouble wanting to keep reading. That being said the book did leave me with some good takeaways I'll be applying to learning Spanish.
I'm not impressed and somewhat disappointed with this book. I had read several good reviews about it in Amazon.com, and it does not live up to all the hype created there. Most claims are based on anecdotes (which are sometimes quite boring) and hardly any on scientific research.
Since I have read several books on the subject, I did not get very much out of it. However, I would still recommend it to anyone looking to pick up another language and wants some simple pointers.

I partially read this book. It's only useful if you haven't lived abroad and haven't dabbled in language-learning many times before. Otherwise, I think the author generally has good tips on the language learning process & changing your mentality on learning a language as an adult. He seems to go off track quite a bit though which I felt distracted from the content.

Very helpful
Currently, I live in Tijuana and am working on Spanish. The author presented a lot of good points that are applicable to any endeavor to learn a second or third language. I recommend this book to the serious student of languages.

Lonsdale

The Third Ear is a book by Chris Lonsdale analyzing human attitudes towards language learning with an emphasis on the habits of polyglots. Starting as a native English speaker, this summary of their habits is coupled with his own experience of learning two Chinese languages, namely Mandarin and Cantonese. It was released in January 2006 and reprinted in April 2007.

Overview[edit]

The Third Ear begins with an introduction, that is followed by three sections. The introduction challenges the myth that language learning is “difficult” and outlines the way in which Lonsdale believes readers should use the book.

Section 1 explores in greater depth some of the myths that surround language learning and discusses alternative viewpoints to these myths. This section also introduces some natural techniques that humans use to process language, in order to support the alternative viewpoints.

Section 2 deals with the specific approaches used by polyglots in their approach to language learning. Lonsdale summarizes their approach to (for example) remember massive amounts of new information, and training themselves to sound more and more like a native speaker.

Section 3 introduces more advanced techniques used by polyglots. While Section 2 was more practical, this section has more to do with the way polyglots think. For example, rather than follow the commonly held belief that “children are better at learning languages than adults”, Lonsdale explains how polyglots actively use their Adult Advantage.

Throughout the book, Lonsdale introduces a number of key ideas related to the polyglots, and his own, experience of learning language. Some of the ideas include:

Communicate, don’t Grammarate
Lonsdale recommends learners to ignore the study of grammar and focus simply on making themselves understood.

Glue Words
This idea recommends learners to identify the 100 most commonly used words in any language, and master those first.

Find a Language Parent
Stressing that all parents are natural teachers (of their children), Lonsdale recommends learners to find for themselves a language parent who can play a similar role in their acquisition of a second language.

Articulate a clear Goal
Lonsdale argues that having in mind a clear goal will help the learner in their acquisition of a new language. Warning against the goal of speaking 'perfectly', Lonsdale instead urges learners to focus on becoming “just like a native', since even native speakers of a language rarely speak “perfectly'.
