Searching for a way to bring the immersive language learning experience home with him, Gabe began to apply his analytical and engineering talents to developing a system that rapidly builds fluency with short, daily sessions – without the need for a tutor or immersion.

In 2010, his efforts paid off. Using his custom-designed system, he reached fluency in French in 5 months, followed by Russian in 10 months. This marked an astounding four total languages learned in under two years.

Following these achievements, Gabe’s book, “Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It,” became a national bestseller. The Fluent Forever app, built around his method, became a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, raising more money in history than any other Kickstarter app at a whopping $1.7M. 

Currently used by tens of thousands of people each month, the Fluent Forever app reached people in over 100 countries around the world by 2021.

Gabe can now hold comfortable conversations in Spanish, German, French, Russian, Italian, Hungarian, and Japanese. He has a dog named Norbert, who has an impressive 19,000 followers on Instagram and serves as Fluent Forever’s mascot.
