Benny the Irish Polyglot teaches us how to learn a language in 3 months

I just made a new post on this New Yorker who had managed to learn more than 20 languages at the age of 17! Yes, I think he may well be the youngest hyperpolyglot on record!

Thanks for the link. I had never heard of this blog before. This is a great resource for learning I language. I like his techniques.

Being a polyglot sounds like a lot of work but it's nice to know people can learn lots of language. It makes me hopeful that maybe I can learn another one, even if it takes years! Thanks for the website recommendations. It's hard to stay motivated and focus unless you can observe others who are doing very well.

Thanks for the link and the youtube reference.  There is so much out there on the internet and its forums like this that really showcase them.  What a mind to speak so many languages fluently.

Thanks for the great resources in this thread, guys! These are certainly helpful not only in learning but in motivation as well. Usually, resource sites will only provide exactly that, resources, but of course it's also helpful hearing about personal experiences and a few tricks, since if you learn fast, there's less chance of giving up on it, and that's why I joined this forum. Again, thanks guys!
