    Richard is very humbled & honest guy to be able to speak 40 languages he's the greatest polyglot in tje planet I've heard he's relly fluent in over 26 & he should hold a record guiness for that!!! for some reason his brain must be programmed to learn languages fast undoubtedly &needless to say he LOVES languages i admire him so much &hope to meet him somedayi can speak 3 languages on ac level one on a b2 level & thelast &fiftj on ab1 level compare to 40 languages my languages are peanuts... Im looking forward to meet him in 2020 at the polyglot conference.

      I suspect he works hard at language learning, and he listens a lot. I could be wrong, perhaps he is gifted. I’m sure he’s said that he isn’t, then again he is modest!

    What he mentions about getting a texbook and using it in his own way as he makes it relevant for himself at minute 4:55, I kinda find that a little overwhelming. I mean, this might work for some people like him, but it would definitely not work for me. I find texbooks really boring and I get distracted pretty soon, besides most of the dialogs textbooks bring are usually boring.

    • @amrmoneer5881
      @amrmoneer5881 Před 2 lety +1

      A textbook can be boring but sometimes u don't have a near place to take good language classes. Also for me finding a good book for the langauge i'm learning was really hard because i had to find something suited for self study not for a classroom so had to do a lot of googling and try books that didn't work

    • @StillAliveAndKicking_
      @StillAliveAndKicking_ Před 5 měsíci

      I suspect he takes it apart, figures out for himself how it all works rather than reading it through from cover to cover in order. That’s my guess.
