Chapter 1: The Powerful Connection Between Language and Culture

You are reading this book so I assume you want to speak English like a native speaker. I have written this book to share my unique language learning method with you: Culture Hacking©. You can use the Culture Hacking© method to master English by understanding the mentality of its speakers.

The truth is that most people never get past the intermediate level in English. There are millions of people in the world today who dream about speaking English confidently and fluently. Unfortunately, they often give up their dreams because they spend long, long years, trying out every method but still not speaking fluent English at the end.

If you want to master English, you will likely encounter old and outdated methods that no longer work. Keep doing it, keep doing it you might hear but the results just don’t come and you still can’t speak English as you dreamed you would.

I’m Balazs Csigi and I went through the same challenges on the way to mastery of English. I could read very easily but couldn’t speak confidently for a long time. I studied grammar, memorized thousands of words and did all that was written in textbooks and classes. Still, I felt like something was missing from my English.

Many years have passed since then and, after spending eight years researching linguistics and languages, I’m happy to share with you a new method for mastering languages. It’s called Culture Hacking©. I have used it to learn to speak seven languages: English, French, Russian (advanced), Italian, German, Indonesian (intermediate) and Spanish (basic).

There is one more thing you need to know about me. I’m Hungarian and I’m not a native speaker of English. Yes, that’s right! I’m not a native speaker of English. That’s very good for you because I went through the same process I’m going to teach you.

You can find many English learning gurus online who claim to teach you something they haven’t done themselves. Would you become a football coach, for example, if you don’t really know how to play football? Or would you take on the responsibility to give driving lessons if you can’t drive a car?

I had to master English as an adult and I used the same method you are going to learn in this book. In other words, I practice what I preach. This book contains battle-tested and proven advice, not theories and opinions. Using the method described in this book, I mastered English to a degree that I can write books and articles and easily communicate in any situation. I write about 50 pages every single month in English and most native speakers wouldn’t notice that I’m not a native user of English.

I also used Culture Hacking to speak other languages. I never spent more than a few months learning a language and yet, I could achieve outstanding results with the help of Culture Hacking. For example, I learned to speak Russian in five months while studying for just 2 hours per day. Taken together, that’s about 250 hours of studying. The Cambridge English Language Assessment said that 500-600 hours of studying is necessary to achieve the intermediate B2 level. Using my method, however, I could pass the B2 level exam in Russian after only 250 hours of studying, and I achieved a 92% score. That’s less than half the
