I love learning foreign languages.
In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years, currently working on my eighth one.
When people find that out about me, they always ask me, "How do you do that? What's your secret?"
And to be honest, for many years, my answer would be, "I don't know.
I simply love learning languages." But people were never happy with that answer.
They wanted to know why they are spending years trying to learn even one language, never achieving fluency, and here I come, learning one language after another.
They wanted to know the secret of polyglots, people who speak a lot of languages.
And that made me wonder, too, how do actually other polyglots do it? What do we have in common?
And what is it that enables us to learn languages so much faster than other people?
I decided to meet other people like me and find that out.
