Polyglot by Kató Lomb
How I Learn Languages
A lively memoir-cum-manual in which a veteran interpreter recounts how she acquired dozens of languages, mixing personal anecdotes with pragmatic, often unconventional techniques: learning from newspapers and radio, reading original texts, prioritizing comprehension and communication over grammar drills, and building vocabulary via context and constant use. She emphasizes curiosity, persistence, making mistakes, and tailoring methods to each language, offering concrete, down-to-earth tips for self-directed learners and encouragement that functional fluency is attainable with modest daily effort.
