If you haven\u2019t heard the term before, a polyglot <\/em>refers to someone who knows and is able to use several languages. These are people who are passionate about language learning and dedicate lots of time to practicing multiple. In addition to his native language English, Olly Richards speaks a whopping 8 languages- French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Thai, Arabic, Cantonese and Italian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview<\/a>, Richards shares some of his best tips on learning a language quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly. Put some of these tips into practice at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a polyglot starts slow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might sound obvious, but Richards recommends starting with short and simple dialogues. If you try and use materials that are too difficult, you won\u2019t retain them. Worse, you might be put off and lose motivation. Start by reading and listening to short stories that are extremely simple. You\u2019ll learn lots of important vocabulary words right off the bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on pronunciation early on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Richards believes that it\u2019s much easier to learn pronunciation early on because it\u2019s much easier to fix at the beginning than years down the road. If you practice good pronunciation<\/a>, you\u2019re setting very important foundations for much harder topics. In addition, pronunciation and reading ability are actually connected, so you\u2019re strengthening your reading skills without even knowing it. He also explains that it\u2019s important to start speaking early as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immerse yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can be difficult to immerse yourself, but it\u2019s a challenge worth facing. Immersing yourself forces you to practice speaking and gives you much more input than you could get from anywhere else. While immersed, you\u2019ll be amazed by how much you retain. It might take some creative thinking to figure out how you can add Spanish to your everyday life, but it\u2019s the best way to learn Spanish quickly at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these tips, Richards offers lots more ideas and anecdotes about his own experience learning 8 languages. Most importantly, he stresses that language learners need to have a strong \u201ctolerance for ambiguity\u201d which means that you need to learn to be okay with not knowing everything that is going on. It\u2019s a part of the language learning process, and it\u2019s completely normal. If you focus too much on what you don\u2019t know, you don\u2019t give yourself the chance to practice what you do know.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
