Learn English in a Month. The title of the guide, on newsstands tomorrow with L'Unione Sarda and Il Sole 24 Ore (€1.50 for both newspapers plus €1 for the book), says it all. The author, Matteo Salvo, has degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Pedagogical Sciences, and Psychology. This combination of skills—scientific, educational, and psychological—is at the heart of the method: a structured, creative, and practical approach designed to help every student bring out the best in themselves . He has taught and led courses on his method at schools and universities such as Bocconi, the Polytechnic University of Turin, the University of Management and Economics of Turin, and the Convitto Mario Pagano in Capobasso, where scientific research on his study method was conducted with surprising results. Learn English in a Month is the first and, so far, only approach to learning English through memory techniques. It's not a traditional grammar, but a method for providing basic knowledge, from articles to more complex sentences, and the tools to communicate in any situation through practice. This method ensures the best results: in English, this learning system is called learning by doing. Designed for anyone who wants to learn English quickly and while having fun—entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and children—the series represents a journey to conquer Great Britain. Salvo is also the first Italian to win the title of "International Master of Memory" at the World Memory Championships.

The method

Each volume consists of several topics complemented by related exercises divided into stages. The last exercise of each stage will tell you which content to review and at what intervals to memorize the information. Before moving on to the next stage, the reader will have to respond to a series of "keywords" that guarantee complete understanding of the topic. Over 1,100 illustrations help the reader memorize more than 900 basic vocabulary words, including all the main grammatical rules, as well as verb conjugation and the paradigms of irregular verbs. The author says: "We will use creativity and the association of ideas, creating associations of images so paradoxical that remembering them will be easy and fun. In many ways, we will return to thinking with the creative style typical of the child within each of us: it is no coincidence that children are by far the fastest people at learning a language. To memorize vocabulary, we will always make associations of images, proceeding not randomly but following a rule we will call PAV, vivid action paradox."
