The Secret of Polyglots

School taught you to fear mistakes, but brilliant minds use them as a map.
This is not about memorizing phrases.
It's about creating sensations.
When learning becomes sensory, language stops being studied and starts being lived.
Schools teach you to understand a language, but polyglots learn to think inside of it.
When you think inside of a language, it is no longer translation, it is pure thought.
At that point, you're not speaking French, but you are French as you speak.
That's what awakens the brain, the feeling that you're inside.
That's why some people learn in months, what others take years to grasp.
You're not merely learning a language, you become someone who speaks that language.
That's what I call the identity shift technique.
The fastest polyglots in the world don't try to learn Spanish or French.
They become Spanish or French speakers inside.
This is an identity shift, not just vocabulary expansion.
The brain does not distinguish learning from acting, it believes in the role you play.
Choose one hour a day to dwell in this new version of yourself.
During an hour, think, narrate and react, and speak only in the new language.

学校教你对错误产生恐惧，但卓越的头脑将它们用作地图。
这不是关于记忆短语，这是关于创造感觉。
当学习变得感官化时，语言不再是被学习而是开始被生活。
学校教你理解一门语言，但多语言者会用这种语言思考。
当你用一门语言思考时，就不再是翻译，这是纯粹的思想。
那时，你没在说法语，但你说话的样子像是法国人。
那就是唤醒大脑的东西，置身其中的这种感觉。
这就是一些人几个月就能学会的原因，别人需要多年才掌握的东西。
你不是在学一门语言，而是成为了说那种语言的人。
这就是我所说的身份转换技巧。
世界上最快的通晓多种语言的人不会试图学习西班牙语或法语。
他们在里面变成说西班牙语或法语的人。
这是一种身份的转变，而不仅仅是词汇的扩充。
大脑不区分学习和行动，它相信你所扮演的角色。
每天选择一小时活出新的自己。
在一个小时内，只用新语言思考、叙述、反应和说话。
