January not only brought in a new year, it brought in three new books!
First, I updated Language is Music with about 30 new tips on language learning using music, TV, radio, movies and other media and I added information from scientific studies about the relationship of music and language, bilingualism and language learning.
Then my Russian publisher, published the Russian edition of Language is Music, Легкий способ быстро выучить иностранный язык с помощью музыки a week early!
In this video, you can hear a short Russian radio broadcast in Russian on 18 January 2014 about how the book teaches people how to listen when learning languages:
To make January not seem as cold as it is in the Northern Hemisphere, the Portuguese edition of Language is Music, Idioma é música, was published and brought some Brazilian sunshine to my life!
Brazil is getting ready for the World Cup and Olympic Games and I want to help Brazilians learn other languages.
If you read Portuguese, you can read these articles in the Brazilian-American press about Idioma é música:
Livro mostra como aprender um idioma estrangeiro usando músicas
Livro ensina como aprender idiomas através da música e mídia
Adding to the new books, I also did some more media interviews about why and how to learn foreign languages, with a special focus on Spanish-speaking immigrants in the US. I had an interview on Tu Desayuno Alegre (aired 11 February 2014) and I was interviewed by the Panamerica World online magazine in Spanish (Susanna Zaraysky: 8 idiomas, 8 formas de interpretar el mundo) and in English (Susanna Zaraysky: 8 languages, 8 ways to interpret the world).
