I’m having a discussion online with someone about just what a polyglot is. The other person feels that being able to speak the language is paramount—after all, glot means tongue. However, my emphasis has always been on understanding i.e. listening and reading.
Quite naturally, we watch Baby Steps in the evening. I’m happy to read a little Dutch or German before a nap, or before sleeping. I enjoy ‘knocking off’ 5 kanji at a time twice or thrice a day, when opening up the computer. And I look forward to my sentence mining in other languages. Truly I do!
