Ardaschir/Alexander Arguelles, is one of the great polyglots on this forum. He spoke a lot about his learning methods but hasn't been online for quite some time now.

Do you mean like a modern day Mezzofanti?

Sort of. From his descriptions, he doesn't have some of the gifts of Mezzofanti (it sounds like Mezzofanti had an exceptional memory for what he heard; the book linked to on the left about him contains some amazing anecdotes - things like learning new Italian dialects well enough to hear confession in them in a day or so, writing perfectly not only in Basque, but in several dialects of it, speaking Japanese and Chinese well, and many other such things - which was quite something for a clergyman of several centuries ago in Rome). Despite this, he's managed to learn a rather large number of languages; the third post on this page lists them. He posted a large number of extremely good explanations, including many on the learning techniques he uses. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Interesting...according to the profiles link on this forum Enigma is the top polyglot here with advanced fluency in 20 languages...Astounding! But I don't think I have ever read any posts from him...guess that is why he is called Enigma. Edited by Cage on 05 July 2007 at 12:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, I was always dissapointed that he never wrote anything for us to read. It would be interesting to see how he learned those languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The link is dead. I'm happy to send a copy to anyone who sends me a PM - I'm not up on all of the places to get free hosting that lasts for a decent amount of time. 1 person has voted this message useful |
