Learn faster than from the traditional “memorize and regurgitate” lessons used in schools and universities.
The language becomes part of your daily life. The new language is alive and not just a list of vocabulary words.
Language is music. Music moves the soul.
Expand your soul. Discover a new soul.
Are your foreign language classes and grammar books boring you to tears?
Do you want to improve your accent?
Our souls ignite our passions, inspire our dreams, and power our lives. A new language opens you to a new existence and way of seeing the world. Are you ready to grow?
Learning foreign languages is like learning to play music or sing a song. You don’t even have to be a good musician. I was a mediocre music student; however, I learned to speak English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Serbo-Croatian with excellent accents because I internalized their melodies and recreated them like I would a new song. I did it without expensive language classes abroad or private tutoring. You can do it too!
I am sharing my free methods so more people can be successful multi-linguists and expand their horizons. The world yearns for more communication between people.
Praise for Language is Music
Language is Music is music for the mind! Susanna Zaraysky has crammed this little book (less than 100 pages) with big ideas about how to learn a language, including a multitude of extremely practical tips and applications. As one who has dabbled in many languages and
speaks a couple fluently, I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to speak another language.

Susanna Zaraysky's Language is Music book is music to my ears, to my trying-to-speak-other-languages-fluently tongue, my brain, my whole body. In this small book, she gives a wealth of practical suggestions about how to learn another language in a pleasurable - and efficient - way. Speaking from my own experience, I know that what Susanna says is true. My own books, Sing it! Learn English through Song, have helped thousands of people around the world learn English in a pleasurable way that sticks. Susanna expands on this pedagogy by offering countless up-to-date tips for tuning in. Get her book and see for yourself!

"Forget dictionaries and phrase books . . . Susanna Zaraysky's easy-to-use guide to language learning is indispensable for any serious language learner wanting to become fluent--not just conversationally proficient--in another language. Language is Music will teach you how to make language acquisition a part of your daily life, and to recreate the kind of total-immersion environment necessary for fluency. Highly recommended reading for aspiring polyglots. Pick up this book and you too will be all ears!"
-Justin Liang, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Marshallese, intermediate Spanish
“Back in France, I spent many years learning "academic" English in school. But I progressed much faster when I forced myself to listen to the BBC or not look at the subtitles when watching an American movie. I wish I had Susanna's book with me then. It's full of creative ideas and practical tips that are indispensable complements to the traditional methods of learning foreign languages -- and it's coming from someone you can trust, she speaks so many of them!”
-Philippe Levy, French native speaker
“This book is great. It showed me another aspect and a new approach of learning a language. I will put the book to good use. As a foreign English speaker, I spent many years at school learning English and did not make much progress. A lot of the tips that I read in this book, I learned them with time. However if I had read this book earlier, it would have made my life much easier and I would have saved so much time. I am going to apply the tips in Language is Music into learning a third language: Spanish. This time, I am sure I will make huge progress much faster. Not only is Language is Music useful in acquiring a foreign language, but the resources and websites in the book are valuable for someone who wants to travel abroad.”
