Dear Reader, “You’ll Never Master a Language!” That’s what my foreign language teacher, Mr. Barry, told me many years ago. “I’m sorry, you just don’t have an aptitude for languages” is what he added. Well, he was wrong, and I knew it. I went on to master Japanese, a much harder language than the one Mr. Barry taught, obtaining a master's degree from a top Japanese university and founding a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo. My name is Peter Galante, founder of Innovative Language Learning, and I’m here to tell you the story of how I proved them wrong.
