The Secret of Polyglots

Close your eyes for a moment and go back in time.
Picture a two-year old child, with no grammar, no dictionary and no verb charts, yet somehow they learn an entire language without ever studying.
How is that possible?
The secret isn't in the words, it's how the brain is used.
The mistake most people make is trying to learn like logical adults, when secret is to relearn like curious children.
Polyglots don't worry about being right.
They focus on sounding natural.
They don't memorize isolated words.
They surround themselves with living contexts.
They don't translate everything because translation slows the mind.
And most importantly, they won't wait for the perfect moment to start speaking.
They speak incorrectly on purpose because mistakes are the gym of the mind.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a new language.
I'm a multilingual person and I really like foreign languages.


闭上眼睛,回到过去。
想象一个2岁的孩子,没语法没词典没动词表,然而他们却莫名其妙学会了一门语言,却从未学过。这是怎么做到的呢?
秘诀不在于语言,而在于大脑的使用方式。
多数人犯的错是试图像理性的成年人一样学习,而秘诀在于像充满好奇的孩子般重新学习。
多语言者不担心是否正确。
他们专注于听上去自然。
他们不记忆孤立的单字。
他们让自己置身于鲜活的环境中。
他们不翻译所有内容,因为翻译会拖慢思维。
最重要的是他们不会等待完美的时机才开始说话。
他们故意说错话,因为错误是思维的健身房。
说一门新语言时不要害怕犯错误。
我是多语言者,非常喜欢外语。

The secret isn't in the words, it's in how the brain is used.

Both work, but adding an “in” sounds more natural

The mistake most people make is trying to learn like logical adults, when the secret is to relearn like curious children.

Really good, if I didn’t know, I would say it sounds like a native speaker!
