2.1. Enjoyment

* Geniuses aren't necessarily polyglots.

* There is no shortcut to learning a language.

2.2. Method

Learn for test: forget early cause information is stored in short-term memory.

><Apply spaced repetition: information is stored in long-term memory.

2.3. System

Creating a system in learning instead of finding extra time

Listening to podcasts on their way to work

Doing the household chores

For e.g. wake up 15 mins earlier to learn vocabulary.

Combine diving plus listening to podcasts

2.4. Patience

=> Nothing motivates people more than their success.

3. Are polyglots super talented?

E.g. Benny and Lucas
* Benny
Had 11 years of Irish Gaelic + five years of German at school: could not speak these languages when graduating

21 years old: he thought he didn’t have the language gene and could not speak another language

Finding ways to learn: speaking to native speakers and getting feedback => Having conversations in ten languages                                                 * Lucas

The worst student in the class who tried to learn English at school for ten years

Looking for his own ways to learn (having Skype chat conversations with strangers)

Being able to speak 11 languages after ten years fluently

II. Conclusion

* If people think that other languages are too difficult or they don’t have language talent => try other methods since it may be one enjoyable method away from becoming a polyglot.
* Patience
