Anyone on here a polyglot (or hyper polyglot) or an aspiring polyglot? I'm an aspiring polyglot and I'm currently fluent in English and Khmer (only speaking and listening tho), I'm intermediate in French which I am in my 4th year of studying at school, beginner to intermediate in Spanish with I am no longer learning but I studied for 2 years at school. I'm currently teaching myself German and Russian and I'm in very very ear.y stages with both. I'm 14. I just wanted to see if there were any other language enthusiasts here on EC.
I'm an aspiring Polyglot. I'm only fluent in English like yourself, speak a little bit of Tagalog. I know how to speak a little bit of Japanese due to 3 years of classes in High school and one quarter in college. I'm currently learning the Korean alphabet, and the German language. I can't seem to get the "ich"s right in German... I can't make those sounds with my throat.
I don't know how many languages one has to know to be a polyglot... But I'm fluent in Swedish and English, and I'm okay at Japanese and German.
I'm trying to become one, studying in languages and all. I'm fluent in French and English, a bit farther than intermediate in Spanish, a beginner in German and Italian, plus I have some knowledge of various languages including Norwegian, Chinese and Japanese.
I speak English fluently and French to an intermediate level. Currently at the beginner stages with German, and have experience with Japanese, Welsh and Dutch. My main problem is that I can't commit properly, which slows things down. I am considering that that may just not be my style. Regardless, I've wanted to learn Icelandic for a while so I might have a look at that soon. Maybe just working on whatever language I feel like will help.
Only if they are languages invented for Sci-Fi/Fantasy works. (I do have a list of languages I want to be conversational in eventually though, so I guess I technically am an "aspiring" polygot: Spanish, Mandarin, German, Norwegian, Icelandic, Old Norse, Quenya*, Sindarin*, and Klingon). * As much as I can, Quenya and Sindarin are not complete languages.
I love languages. I'm only fluent in English so far, but my Japanese is pretty good these days. I used to be pretty good in French while I was studying it in school and I would love to pick it up again. I've also previously studied Cantonese, Russian, and started on Korean but didn't get anywhere with it. Languages I haven't looked at yet but want to are: Scottish Gaelic, Italian, and Cree.
