Alexander Arguelles | How a Polyglot Balances and Maintains Many Languages @ProfASAr | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Listen to me discuss adding artwork to advanced scriptorium, using cycles of languages on alternate days, trying to add breadth, advancing when you are already advanced, where might I be in 20 years, the balancing act of maintaining languages, planning a life around language study, life choices to live immersed in difficult languages, pursuing knowledge more important than wealth, building a polyliterate community, deeper non-linguistic reasons for studying languages, the relation of speaking to reading proficiency, the importance of oral delivery and reading aloud, my evolving attitude toward audiobooks, offering audiobooks in obscure languages, and using the Internet Archive.
Please note that this video is also an update to some of the same questions that Michael Erard asked me when he interviewed me for his book on polyglots back in 2009. You can see that video here: youtu.be/Oudgdh6tl00
