Into the book
The same goes for learning a foreign language as you get older.
If you keep at it, you too will be able to speak a foreign language in a year.
If you master the methods I'm teaching you, internalize them, and even apply them, you might be able to shorten the time from one year.
Imagine being able to learn English in just one year, something you couldn't do before.
Those who desperately wanted basic conversational skills will be able to do basic conversation, and those who desperately wanted advanced conversational skills will be able to do advanced conversation.
Wouldn't this be something worth trying?
--- p.7

“I’m not good at languages.” That’s the perfect excuse.
Isn't what you're currently using a language? If you have the language skills to read and understand this book, you too can definitely learn a foreign language.
(…) Let’s shake off the past and now, together with me, learn how to properly learn a foreign language.
I started learning foreign languages ​​in earnest at the age of 29, and the help of the right learning method was absolutely crucial in helping me become fluent in eight languages.
I would like to share this experience with you now.

--- p.19

I don't have any natural talent for foreign languages, but I push myself to feel a strong 'need' to learn them.
And I spend more time than anyone else 'thinking' about how I can learn a little better and find more efficient ways to study.
But when I show the results of this process of 'thinking about it because it was necessary', people consider it to be an innate talent.

--- p.26

I speak eight languages.
Six of those languages ​​are spoken at a high enough level to enable discussions on difficult topics.
The remaining two languages ​​are used for conversational purposes at a level that allows for everyday life.
My level of proficiency in eight languages ​​goes beyond simply saying hello and introducing myself.
The reason we try to learn more foreign languages ​​is to 'gain confidence' and 'expand opportunities'.
I don't feel afraid wherever I go in the world.
Because I have faith that no matter which country I go to, I will definitely be able to communicate in at least one of the languages ​​I speak.
--- p.57~59

Learn a foreign language centered around a topic you enjoy.
Unlike students who had to learn a foreign language because it was a required or elective subject, adults can choose a subject they like and learn a foreign language based on their interests.

--- p.147

When I was learning German, I would break down my thoughts in detail to this extent and then translate them into a foreign language.
Thanks to that, I was able to pass the German university entrance exam after only 10 months.
Instead, every day was extremely tiring.
My thoughts are most active when I shower, so I deliberately convert all of them into German.
So after I finished showering, I felt more exhausted than refreshed.
Every day like that was repeated.
(…) But if you practice like this for a few months, you will eventually be able to walk at a speed similar to other people’s, even if you cannot run like before.
Even just this much will bring about tremendous results.

--- p.181~182

The discussion process and the communication process are exactly the same.
Communication and discussion between people take place through dialogue, and this is something that must happen.
Trying to teach yourself this process is like trying to become a great tennis player and practicing hitting tennis balls against a wall for years.
If I finish my wall-climbing practice and then compete in a tennis tournament, will I actually win? It's impossible.
It was wrong from the start.

--- p.220

People who are multilingual attract attention wherever they go.
Multilingual people have so many people who are curious and interested in them that they can have a wide range of interactions.
People who are curious and eager to learn often ask me which languages ​​I speak when they discover that I speak multiple languages.
If there is a foreign language you want to learn, suggest that you converse in that language.

--- p.244

Nowadays, when we learn a new language, we rarely mix it with the language we already learned.
Even if the newly learned language is in the same family as a language you've already studied, or if your language skills are still insufficient, you can now create a separate room just for that foreign language.
As I continue to study, my ability to distinguish between rooms seems to improve.
If you don't use a particular language for a long time, you may feel like the very existence of the room has faded, but it will be restored when you start using it again.
The distinction between rooms becomes clearer and the rooms become larger.

--- p.255

Learning a language is like weaving a spider's web into the world.
Every time you learn a new language, the number of spiderwebs increases.
At the same time, the information caught in the spider web increases, the field of vision widens, and the radius of action expands.
So it's only natural that people who study multiple foreign languages ​​have more opportunities.
--- p.259~260

Publisher's Review
“Every time you go beyond a language,
Opportunity comes through multiplication, not addition.”
Level up your life in 8 languages ​​after turning 30!


There is a video that made Wine King known to many people.
This video shows how, when all the guests were upset by an unfriendly waiter who seemed to be racist in France, the waiter's fluent language skills and relaxed attitude gradually changed the atmosphere in the restaurant, creating a more cheerful atmosphere.
The author can have pleasant conversations with anyone in the world because he can tailor conversations to each country and nationality.

But even he, who has enviable abilities, has a painful story of failure.
After graduation, I failed the civil service exam, failed to adapt to corporate life, and experienced three major setbacks while learning a foreign language.
With the earnest thought that 'I absolutely must learn wine properly,' I began studying the language of a country related to wine.
As a result, he obtained master's degrees in wine marketing, viticulture, and oenology from universities in France, Spain, and Italy, respectively, and worked abroad as a wine marketer, becoming a wine expert.
He is also playing a unique role in the industry by realizing the dream he had in his twenties of 'creating a stage where people can easily access and enjoy wine'.


The help of ‘language’ was absolutely essential for the author to realize his dream.
This book immediately dispels doubts about whether learning a foreign language is truly necessary in an age where AI can translate and summarize in real time.
The author says, “Learning a language is like weaving a spider web on the world.
“The more languages ​​you can speak, the wider your life’s stage becomes,” he says.
If you feel like your life has stagnated and you want to experience a wider world, try learning a new language again.
Perhaps opportunities will come to you in multiplication rather than addition.


“What is needed to learn a language is,
“It’s not about having a great head or sense, but about consistency and the courage to take on challenges!”
The Secret to Wine King's Becoming the Language King


Children absorb language like sponges.
On the other hand, adults' language acquisition ability is like a waterproof sheet.
It's rejected the moment it comes in! So how should adults' study methods differ from those of children?

The author, who began studying languages ​​in his thirties, studied for ten months and obtained the qualifications for admission to a German university. He also studied Chinese for ten months and obtained a level 5 HSK, a standardized Chinese language proficiency test.
It is just one level lower than the highest grade, 6th grade.
I learned French at a faster pace.
After three months of studying, I was able to speak basic French to some extent, and after six months, I was able to converse with French people without much difficulty.


How did the author manage to absorb language with the same repelling power as adults, like a waterproof sheet? This book introduces a unique learning method, unheard of anywhere else.
The method the author teaches is not the old method that can make it impossible to speak a word to a foreigner even after studying English for a long time, but rather the classic method of properly erecting the pillars and completing a sturdy building in one year.
From now on, all you have to do is add flesh to the building and enjoy a rich foreign language life.
If we don't learn this way, we will just waste precious time and money on building up foreign language skills that will never improve no matter how much we try.


Let's start studying foreign languages ​​again the right way, using this book as an opportunity.
Being old is not a problem at all.
A vast future unfolds before us, where we can share friendly and pleasant conversations with people from all over the world, just like the author!
