I wrote a book on language learning and released it free

As hard as I tried, I didn't find a modern language learning book that's either very academic, or like "master a language with my super-magic great method in 3 months". So I dug into the academic research, tried many techniques myself, saw what worked, wrote a book for learners of any language and any level, and made it free without ads. Today, finally, a 2 years-long project ends. I hope it helps anyone. Book's here: https://thehardway.guide/ Cheers

In plain words

The Hard Way is a free language learning book based on academic research and practical experimentation. Created over two years by its author, it avoids both overly technical approaches and unrealistic quick-fix promises, instead offering methods applicable to learners at any level studying any language. The book is ad-free and accessible online for anyone seeking evidence-based language acquisition techniques.
