Universal Language Base: Learn a Foreign Language Like a Child Paperback / softback - 2020

If you have always had trouble learning foreign languages, this might be your long-awaited solution! Inspired by the author's ideasthetic thinking and visualization, the book offers a completely novel view of language acquisition. A self-taught polyglot, the author asserts that if one can speak a single language, one can speak them all: it is all a matter of convincing the brain to open up. This step-by-step guide reveals the author's personal secrets of mental preparation and simple actions to be taken before any learning begins.

Specifically, the book discusses what prevents or speeds up acquisition, the subconscious stages the brain undergoes when learning a language, what hormones are crucial to learning, and offers original linguistics theories and self-educating tools to make polyglotism a reality for everyone.

Ideasthesia is a rare neurological phenomenon that augments human thinking, by allowing the brain to map its cognitive processes in the five human senses, where abstract ideas are experienced as physical objects, acting according to physical laws. This little studied human ability can potentially help science tackle the most perplexing and urgent of questions, including organization of the human brain itself.

Vera Dragilyova is a Synesthete and an Ideasthete. She studied Cognitive Science at UC Berkeley and Information Design at Bentley University. She is a lifelong researcher, filmmaker, singer, polyglot, and a world traveler.
