Polyglot March 13, 2011

I’ve decided to become a polyglot again. Well I never was a true polyglot – I’ve always only been fluent in English. But I was learning Tamil at one point and interested in learning other languages.
Unfortunately, I approached it from a strict academic view. I was learning it for the sake of knowing many languages. In the process I wasn’t enjoying it, and never progressed far. That’s partially why I started learning Tamil in 1996/7 and haven’t progressed beyond a beginner!
But now I’m re-interested in learning new languages for the joy of it. My plan is to learn bit and pieces at a time. And as long as I’m consistent, I’m not going to worry about focusing on one specific language until I “master it.”
So currently I’m learning Tamil, French, and Spanish. I want to start learning German as well, although I might not start it right away.
PS. If you want to know what resources I’m using, comment below and ask, and I’ll respond.
