It takes a lot of effort to become a real polyglot. However, there are several practical guidelines that can speed up the learning of foreign languages.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to get rid of the stereotype that people all over the world speak English. Most often, such ideas do not correspond to reality and give rise to complexes. Even in popular tourist cities and resorts, the population cannot always say at least something in English.
Step 2
Remember that it is imperative to speak the target language. No one begins to speak a foreign language correctly and without mistakes right away, but it is impossible to learn to express one's thoughts coherently without the stage of speaking with mistakes. You can learn the language by speaking. Native speakers are more likely to understand you, even if you use the wrong time, the wrong prepositions, and the wrong articles. In a personal conversation, context is critical, it helps people understand each other, even if one of the interlocutors speaks a foreign language poorly and does not understand it well by ear. By the way, never be afraid to ask again if you do not understand something from the words of the interlocutor.
Step 3
To become a polyglot, first of all, you need to determine at what stage are those languages that you learned, understand, want to learn or even improve. Any language can be in your asset or liability. Active knowledge of the language means that you are able to independently construct sentences, even the simplest ones, you can maintain an elementary conversation, are not afraid to speak this language and have a small vocabulary. Passive knowledge means that you can understand a foreign language, but you cannot speak. Of course, all languages need to be gradually brought to an asset.
Step 4
If you want to become a polyglot, don't learn languages one by one. Choose two or three languages from the same group. This will allow you to understand that the language is a logical and coherent system. If you learn related languages at the same time, this will greatly facilitate the process, in fact, you will only have to remember the discrepancies in the rules, because the languages being studied will be very similar in general. It is best to learn the basics with a teacher, and only then deepen your knowledge on your own.
Step 5
By the way, very often there are problems with independent language learning, since it is quite difficult to organize yourself to constantly do this. Set yourself a specific time several times a week that you are willing to spend on learning languages. Do not under any circumstances cancel the class, devote as much time to the study process as you can.
Step 6
At first, you should not look for native speakers to communicate with them. This kind of communication can only complicate things if you started learning the language from scratch. The fact is that a person who speaks a language all his life very rarely can sensibly explain why grammar or spelling in this language works the way it does. This causes confusion and complicates language learning.
