00:13

I love learning foreign languages.

00:16

In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years,

00:20

currently working on my eighth one.

00:22

When people find that out about me, they always ask me,

00:25

"How do you do that? What's your secret?"

00:27

And to be honest, for many years, my answer would be,

00:30

"I don't know. I simply love learning languages."

00:33

But people were never happy with that answer.

00:36

They wanted to know why they are spending years trying to learn even one language,

00:40

never achieving fluency,

00:41

and here I come, learning one language after another.

00:44

They wanted to know the secret of polyglots,

00:46

people who speak a lot of languages.

00:49

And that made me wonder, too,

00:50

how do actually other polyglots do it?

00:53

What do we have in common?

00:54

And what is it that enables us

00:56

to learn languages so much faster than other people?

00:59

I decided to meet other people like me and find that out.

01:03

The best place to meet a lot of polyglots

01:05

is an event where hundreds of language lovers

01:08

meet in one place to practice their languages.

01:11

There are several such polyglot events organized all around the world,

01:14

and so I decided to go there

01:15

and ask polyglots about the methods that they use.

01:19

And so I met Benny from Ireland,

01:21

who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one.

01:26

He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook

01:29

and goes to meet native speakers

01:30

and starts having conversations with them right away.

01:33

He doesn't mind making even 200 mistakes a day,

01:36

because that's how he learns, based on the feedback.

01:39

And the best thing is, he doesn't even need to travel a lot today,

01:42

because you can easily have conversations with native speakers

01:45

from the comfort of your living room, using websites.

01:48

I also met Lucas from Brazil

01:50

who had a really interesting method to learn Russian.

01:53

He simply added a hundred random Russian speakers on Skype as friends,

01:58

and then he opened a chat window with one of them

02:02

and wrote "Hi" in Russian.

02:05

And the person replied, "Hi, how are you?"

02:07

Lucas copied this and put it into a text window with another person,

02:12

and the person replied, "I'm fine, thank you, and how are you?"
