#75 Doree Huneven on Worldwide Travel, Reward Systems and Sleeping Languages

Polyglot and avid traveller, Doree Huneven, joins Benny Lewis and
Elizabeth Bruckner to talk about her experience learning multiple
languages, travelling the world, and how the violin has made her
a better learner.


Doree shares why she thinks discipline is the key to being a
successful language learner and having fun, and why the Fluent in
3 Months Challenge is so appealing, even to an experienced
language learner. We actually guarantee that anyone who completes
the Fluent in 3 Months Challenge will have a 15-minute
conversation in their new language after 90 days of learning. You
