Today posting about the polyglot Leo in polyglots section brought me back to this
forum, and I would like to take this opportunity to share more of my thoughts on language learning as one language learner to other interested language learners within the theme of panglottism. I have already tread the path of panglottism for almost five years now. They say many roads lead to Rome. I would say that for me, many methods lead to language learning, for to me the Way is more important than methods. I would further say much foreign language learning activities will eventually lead to polyglotism, increase in polyglotism will lead to tranlingualism, development of tranlingualism will sooner or later lead to panglottism. Thus panglottism is the logical and realistic development of learning foreign languages in its fully mature and actualized form, all the more significantly in our ever acceleratedly globalized world. The matrix of panglottism indeed is the experience and formation of planetary civilization. It has been so in my life experiences, even in my little lot of experiencing our world granted unto me. Panglottism as expounded here adopts panglottism not only as the goal, but more as the way. It adopts the Tao of foreign language learning, the Way(道）, the Way of Empty Hand(空手 道）. Addendum: Detachment from the Goals and Attachment to the Process When I finally got on this path of panglottism after having struggled many years to understand our planet and the phenomenon of our human species in its diverse manifestation and growth, I needed to be encouraged in my new pursuit as a nonspecialist in languages and linguistics, and found inspiration and insights from other language learners of this forum especially at the beginning stage. Learning one language to a workable level of communication skill takes much time and effort. Learning many languages from different families all the more so. There were ups and downs in my language journey of last several years, but the fire that has been lit within my heart for panglottism has kept on burning up until today. I must say that I had thoroughly enjoyed this new journey that has been opened up to me, and I am so deeply grateful for such an opportunity to pursue this learning activity through these years. When I had started on the path of panglottism at the beginning of 2011, I had set the approximate date for the conclusion of this journey, even as I have other goals I must pursue and cannot keep on making concentrated effort just for languages. I think I might have to invest about two to five more years of concentrated effort, I will have to see how and when life situation will change or when this inspiration within me will finally have run its course, but after then, I will have to greatly reduce my time and energy and put growing in languages and cultures into more of a light hobby mode, and begin to assign my available time and energy for other goals. I, however, do think that I have already incorporated spending time with languages into my lifestyle and thus will keep on doing so even if in a very light mode until the time I cannot do much physical activity or until my death. For me spending time with languages has been a quite joyful and great stress relieving experience and I do think that I have become quite addicted to its activities, and thus will keep on maintain my ties with it. I greatly desired to see and understand the Adam on this planet and Life led me to learn his language, Planetarianese.

It's the first time I enter this thread, and I can't possibly read all the responses, but am truly fascinated by the subject!
To me it sounds somewhat pretentious. As if the motivation was not feeling special enough any more by just being called a polyglot, thus wanting to stand out among polyglots. HOWEVER, I do see a unique phenomenon that lies at the core of this.
I spent a week in Paris this Christmas never having learned French and I used a tourist phrase book to get me around not wanting to use English at all. I found it incredibly satisfying that with my knowledge of English, Spanish and Italian, I was able to absorb French as if I already had been familiarized with it long time ago. Learning the vocabulary didn't seem like acquiring new information, but rather twitching information that I already have in my head to adapt it to a new linguistic setting. I think that I already view myself (or will once I master French) as not a speaker of specific romance languages, but a speaker of the romance linguistic realm, if I can call it such. I observe the same feeling being around the Dutch language (Germanic realm) - due to my knowledge of German and English. And as a native speaker of Polish who flirted with several other Slavic languages, I sure have that feeling visiting Czech Republic or Slovakia.

Derian, first of all, I would like to express my appreciation to you for having an
interest in the subject of my thread on panglottism, and also for having shared your wonderful personal experiences with how different languages are interrelated and intermeshed in such a way that you have already, without being conscious of it, been assimilating other languages when you were learning one or more languages. Organicity of human language as evolved within our species is at the core of panglottism. At the same time, I would like to point out another aspect of your post.
I would like to respond more in detail to your interpretation of or impression on my motivation, but perhaps in another post. Let me, however, first deal with your comment more from the forum's administrative point of view. FORUM RULES
Don't attack the person, his personality or what he is, even in an indirect way. Your subjective interpretation of my subjective motivation for my thread content might be as good as anyone else's, as they are subjective and you are expressing how you feel about my motivation. I will try to make an effort to respect and give serious consideration to anyone's view about my motivation, however negative or derogatory it might be. However I would ask you, and I can only ask you as I am not one of the moderators of this forum who can give you an official warning or even more strict response for any deliberately inflammatory or aggressive messages or attack on the person's character or personality, to restrain posting your own perspective on the poster's interior motivation or personality, should your perspective might contain negative aspect, even in an indirect way, even as it is better for you and will benefit other readers . There are certain views that are better to just be communicated in a more private setting, but not in public. There are several practical and ethical reasons for doing so. I am not saying that your views on the matter are not valid or wrong. I am just pointing out how I would want the discussions in this forum, and especially in my thread to be carried out, and I hope that you will respect my stated request. I am sure that it is not something that is out of line with the forum rules specified in public. I would like to also state to anyone who will decide to write something in this forum, and especially in my thread, to be more generous and courteous with other posters here, regardless of whether their stated view rubs you in a wrong way or is not so palatable to your taste. Please do not inflammatorily attack other person's character, motivation or personality, but rather make an effort to stick to the discussion of ideas and views. Derian, I do respect you as a fellow forum member and will only have goodwill for you, regardless of how you might put me in a negative way. If you meet me in person and get to know me, you might see that I am not just making a superficial remark, but seriously mean what I say. I wish you all the best in your language journey. Peace....
