My favorite language learning podcast!! They always bring on exciting guests and come up with the most interesting interview questions. My favorite part of every episode is when the hosts share their personal takeaways at the end. Fantastic work!

I really enjoyed the interview with Manuel from Herr Professor. It was great to hear the insights and history behind his language learning program. I am a current student in his course and subscribe to the coaching calls. It absolutely fits my busy life and fully endorse it!

Shout out to episode 24 with Elizabeth- this was such a great podcast to listen to and I got so many tips on how to confront my own ‘gremlins’, definitely boosted my confidence in learning languages! This whole series has picked me up each time language learning seems hard- thanks!

It is easy to give up learning language or distracted to learn multiple languages at the same time. So really thanks to this podcast that both inspires and reminds me to focus learning one step at a time :)

Interesting and practical approach to French language and culture. Too often the link between the two is ignored in language learning. Some great insights which lift the veil on a much maligned nation.

The podcast is super informational and inspiring. I love hearing people’s different journeys to learning a language and hearing how they overcame their struggles.

I love how the guests all have different things to share. Not everything said resonates with me as a language learner, but I can pick out what is helpful to me!

I keep finding myself ‘stealing’ hacks from every episode. Benny is always a joy, and I love Shannon’s ability to connect with guests!
matthewgadbois via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/20
I really look forward to every episode! What i love about it the most is that it really motivates me to keep going in my language learning. (Italian and German consistently, and I occasionally dabble in others). I love talking about language, but this podcast goes beyond “chit chat” and really...Read full review »

Benny Lewis is a very Great resource for the Polyglot community.

The Language Hacking podcast gives very very useful advice and practical guidance on our language learning path! And it also has a high entertainment value, I don’t miss a single one!

I have already had contact with this Fluent in Three Months team over the years—both in exploring the excellent website and all its resources, as well as participating in the stunningly helpful Fluent in Three Months Challenges. These podcasts add another dimension to the intricately interesting...Read full review »

I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast while driving to work. Before lockdown I would have been getting the train into London and would just scroll through the depressing news. But these days with driving, I have loved having that bit of private headspace to listen. I have found it...Read full review »

I look forward to this dropping every Monday. After a weekend of maybe not doing as much Italian as I should, the podcast reminds me to keep going. Bennie and Shannon are really interesting themselves , but add in their polyglot guests and I feel my enthusiasm growing again for this beautiful...Read full review »
Io ma in Italiano via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/10/20

I can't thank you guys enough for starting up this Language Hacking Podcast! I have listened to all the episodes so far and you have all shared some great advice. I think the biggest help to me is to realise that the ups and downs of language learning is very normal and that there is more...Read full review »

Benny & Shannon take us through personal journeys. How and why do you learn a language? There is also a very human element to this podcast. We gave jobs, maybe children, maybe health issues and of course we are human, so sometimes we screw up. Language learning is a deeply human experience!
Stephen Eustace via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 07/09/20
As an aspiring polyglot, I'm consistently encouraged by the stories of people who've already done the work of learning multiple languages. It's also great to hear how other language learners carve out the time in their busy schedules for study, and work around various life challenges....Read full review »

Great start from proven performers. Looking forward to learning more from you guys soon
Thermomixeroz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/30/20
These podcasts are great because they have real people sharing their stories of learning multiple languages. This gives me the encouragement I need to make real progress.
Chelle1247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/20
Currently, I’m taking my second jab at learning Spanish, and have learned Italian in the past while traveling. These are very relevant stories for learners of all levels with varying life styles, and therefore varying obstacles. Looking forward to future guest stories and experiences.

Enjoying the show so far. 3rd episode was my favorite. Love the creative ideas on how to learn a language
Kevinsenap via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/20
Loving this podcast for the fantastic insights into how to learn and maintain languages. The guests are phenomenal with their multiple tongues, but what really comes out is how hard they work at acquiring and keeping each language.
Hazza 900 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/29/20
There are already several excellent language learning podcasts produced by polyglots but Benny and Shannon have managed to carve out their own niche. I really like the variety of guests: prominent polyglots as well as people who are not well-known but have euqally interesting things to say about...Read full review »
SalamanderJazz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/28/20
Not specific enough. Would like to see more examples. Also think they are putting them out too fast, a podcaster rookie mistake. These episodes work better as occasional supplements. Just my opinion. I like the hosts.
Ralph and Martha Wright via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/20
I've been listening to this podcast after doing the Fluent in 3 Months Challenge. I really like how motivating it is to listen to Benny and Shannon talk about their love for language learning and how they (and their guests) have overcome obstacles. It's really inspiring me to want to...Read full review »

I’m enjoying this podcast so much, I can’t wait for the next episode. It has been tremendously encouraging for my language learning. I tuned in for the 2nd episode when I was in a funk and not wanting to do anything. By the end of the show I was ready to jump in and study again. It was a...Read full review »

Fun
Benny really makes learning language fun :)
southpawtom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/20
Each of the podcasts that I’ve listened to so far has given me such valuable advice. Practical advice for a new language learning technique and deep thoughtful advice that helps me get through the learning troughs.
Bendeb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/26/20
Always find Benny and his methods interesting. Would like to hear more about maintenance of languages learned to stay up on the level, etc. Also the crown jewel of learning 2 languages at once. Keep up the good work!

Interesting approach to learning languages
Biplrt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/20
George Mallory is quoted as answering why he climbed Mt. Everest with, “Because it’s there.” And that’s why Scott learns things—particularly languages. He, along with Benny Lewis, is a powerful inspiration as I work to learn Dutch. So many worthy insights. I realize now why my 10-month trip to...Read full review »
Steve Goes Green via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/20
I just listened to episode one with guest speaker Scott, and those are some great tips. I’ve noticed that when I pick and choose when to speak a language, I can easily go off track so I think I’ll give this a try and only speak the target language when speaking with someone who can also speak...Read full review »

Bonjour Benny Lewis, je suis joyeuse d’écouter tes podcast. Et d’écouter l’interview avec Scott Young. J’ai interviewé Scott sur mon podcast français : Apprendre à apprendre une langue. J’aimerais beaucoup pouvoir faire un podcast avec toi aussi. Tiens-moi au courant si tu es partant!
Céline 21 via Apple Podcasts · France · 06/22/20
I loved the discussion re: the social anxiety aspect of learning a language. I’m trying to learn French (I have your book Benny!) and this really made me feel it’s ok to relax a bit.
LizM4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/20
I love how Benny and Shannon interview everyday language learners for this podcast and find out what it really takes to learn a language. Excellent guests and well worth a listen.
