Linguistic Bits for Language Learners: How Language Works in Our Mouths and Minds - Hardcover

by Annette R. Harrison (Author)

Think you can't learn French, German, Russian . . . [insert language here]? You're not alone.



Many adults give up on language learning not because they lack ability, but because no one ever clearly explained how language works. This book changes that.



Designed to support any app, class, or self-study program, this engaging guide demystifies the structures and patterns of language--covering everything from sounds and writing systems to words, phrases, and sentences. It connects language to memory, meaning, and culture, helping you learn more deeply and confidently.



Whether you've struggled with grammar, felt lost using an app, or abandoned a course halfway through, this book gives you the clarity and support you've been missing.



And in today's globalizing world--where communication across languages and cultures is more relevant than ever--language learning isn't just a personal challenge. It's a powerful skill that opens doors, fosters connection, and deepens understanding.



You can learn any language. You just need to understand how it works--and this book will show you how.
