Is Benny's Bootcamp worth it?
This is an unprecedented opportunity to be part of a new community, and get direct coaching from one of the world's finest language hackers.
The monetary cost is not insignificant – but that will definitely help you stay more committed.
Since this is a brand new product I can't evaluate the end result of it, but what I can say is:
If you follow what Benny has to teach you, you will get further in 3 months than you've done in years before with your language learning ambitions.
In that sense the investment seems easy to defend, as you will be able to use the strategies and tools to learn any and all future languages you desire.
