How To Become A Polyglot? Remember when we published a post about the benefits of being bilingual? If you already thought that mastering two languages was difficult, today we are going to go a little further. Being a polyglot implies speaking several different languages at the same time. Do you think it is impossible? We already anticipate that no. We live in an increasingly global world, speaking languages can guarantee you many professional opportunities. And not only that, it is also an impressive source of learning that allows you to travel, learn about other cultures and even end up living in another country. Many people find being a polyglot unattainable. Mastering different languages seems like an odyssey, especially if you think that you don't have many skills for it and that knowing one is more than enough, but you know what? It is a wrong view. Being a polyglot is possible and within your reach. How? Keep reading and discover 7 tricks to speak the languages that you propose. Remember that with motivation, interest and effort you already have a lot ahead of time. 1. Be clear about your goal An important step in learning multiple languages is feeling motivated. How do you get it? Thinking about what you hope to achieve with this goal. If you know why you are doing it and you are looking for a utility, being a polyglot does not seem so difficult, we assure you. If you perceive this task as an obligation, your predisposition to learn will be diminished and your results will be negative. Change your perspective and make your approach to learning positive. 2. Overcome your mental barriers To start being a polyglot and once you learn your first language, it is essential to break down those barriers that you will not be able to communicate in another language. At first it will be complicated, but you can. You must be aware that it is a long process, that it involves making mistakes and you must accept it. One aspect that you must bear in mind is the myth that learning languages at a certain age is impossible, a claim that has long been refuted. 3. Choose languages A very important decision to address before starting, don't you think? Although a priori you may not even consider it, between many languages there are more connections than imaginable. A good tip to start with is to detect the languages that are from the same family, so you could study them together. To give you an idea: Italian is very easy for a Spanish speaker to understand and has many links with French. A good start, right? 4. Learn one by one A good tip if you want to be a polyglot is to start with the languages one at a time. This will depend on your time and skills. Start with one and as soon as you reach some fluency you can continue with another. In this way, you will acquire a powerful base so that the next language costs you less.

You cannot approach this goal with the idea of mastering all the languages that you think about, at least in the beginning. It is not necessary to be bilingual at all. In an article that we published a while ago, we discovered the words you need to communicate in another language and in case you don't know it, you don't need so many to be able to speak with a native speaker. With learning between 2,000 and 4,000, it is enough to get started. On a more professional level, you'll need to pay attention to specific terminology, and if you're going on a trip, you'll need to consider learning vocabulary to help you get along. But what has been said, go in parts. 6. Know how to describe It is very important to have the ability to make descriptions. A polyglot does not have to know everything, but he does have the linguistic skills necessary to express himself in another language. So it is essential to make you understand, that you know how to describe objects, situations, people and any other aspect. Here is a very useful post to improve your reading comprehension. Nothing better than enhancing this ability, to perfect your oral expression. 7. Talk to other polyglots It will seem like a no-brainer. But the only way to master one or more languages is by practicing. If you want to be a polyglot, it is recommended that you surround yourself with people who speak several languages. In this way, you will feel more motivated to achieve your goal, as well as having the opportunity to work on your language skills.
