It happens to me with Spanish even though it was the first language I ever learned.

I think there are a lot of similarities between languages in one language family. If you know for example danish, German and English, when you speak/read one of them you automatically repeat another two. I know only four languages and I have just begun to study danish and the process goes fairly easy. I suggest that if you know 20 or 30 languages you can learn another similar languages very fast and moreover you will also improve and deepen your understanding of those that you already know.

Farley and administrator both write about using multiple—actually three or more—languages, yet deny being polyglot. I wonder how you define “polyglot”? Is it a state that begins at a certain knowledge or skill level, or a certain intensity of study? Or is your denial made out of modesty? I'm of the understanding that “bilingual” means having two native languages. The usefulness of its distinction from “polyglot” is that anyone willing to study multiple languages can be a polyglot. Right?
Anyhow, I do find neglected languages can spring back, especially after trying to speak with people for a period of time. 1 person has voted this message useful |
