Here is where the meat of this post/article is.

Communicating in the language as a natural is what being a polyglot is all about. Not just saying Très bien and bon jour, but to be able to pick the nuances in thought from the nuances in the language.

Lets tackle the how:

1. Learn from professionals
every city has language schools that tutor people in the language. These are good, but to me a little boring.

2. Learn from websites.
Free stuff on the net! brilliant and you can click here to see such websites.
The only catch, you really need to be motivated to do this.

3. CDs/Audio tapes/Podcasts
me likes these, only coz you can take them with you. listen to them while you travel, walk, run, or while you are stuck in the traffic jam.

4. Polyglot meetings & events
These are big outside India (see here), but seem to be getting to our shores too. I saw a post but not too many responses.

Essentially people get together to talk. you drink, mix around, talk in the language you want to learn and master. This sounds like so much fun. If anyone here wants to start something like this, dont forget to call me (prabhjot bedi, +91 98720 00604, mail@prabhjotbedi.com)

5. Traveling
If you can, then nothing tops this.
Go to the country where the language you want to learn is considered mother tongue. immerse yourself in the culture, the language and you will come out so much richer.

There, the what, the why and the how of a polyglot and the success it could bring you.

p.s. One of my favorite hoteliers and bosses is Raymond Bickson - Managing Director - Indian Hotels Co Ltd - the owners of Taj Group of Hotels (click here to read his interview)

Repeatedly you read things like 'God would be comfortable staying with him', guess what, he is a polyglot!
