I have seen Schliemann's journals in person, and they are quite impressive. He changes languages just about every
paragraph, and, if I recall correctly, he writes in the language appropriate to the topic. In addition to excavation notes, his journals include things like the ledger of what he paid the workers at his excavations, the rent that they in turn paid for their lodging, etc. So the language could change depending on whether he was recording business with Greeks, Turks, etc. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Here is an article on Schliemann's method of learning languages
I have always been fascinated with the guy since I was a kid. He combined my love for history and archaelogy, as well as for language learning. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |
