I speak several languages not because I'm a prodigy, but because I've embraced the journey of being a polyglot—a journey anyone can take. In today's interconnected world, multilingualism is a powerful skill that boosts confidence in daily life and global interactions. Let's explore how you can master multiple languages and communicate effortlessly across cultures. #PolyglotJourney #LanguageLearning #Multilingualism #GlobalCommunication #LanguageSkills

Bredec Group Bredec Group Ask HN: Why isn't there an LLM chat for learning a foreign language?: Everyone agrees that the absolute best way to learn a foreign language is immersion. And nothing beats constant exposure to conversing in that language. A recent discussion here on Duolingo even validates that. So...how/why hasn't LLM completely upended this market? If I had a Spanish LLM that I could converse with (either spoken, or text) for an hour a day I'd likely get WAY more mileage out of it then a gamified UI full of badges and leaderboards and artifice. --- Comments URL: https://lnkd.in/gBsKaHPQ Points: 1 # Comments: 1 info@bredec.com Inquiry@bredec.com

Delete "man," insert "linguist"!

One thing that polyglots do differently… Disclaimer (Just in case!): Not all polyglots do this and this is not the only thing they do. With that said, let`s say that again. One thing that people - who speak several languages – do differently. They simplify things when learning a new language. In other words: they are not afraid to use simple expressions. This way, they get a lot of precious speaking practice right from the start. Just because you don`t have the exact/perfect/appropriate word, you can still choose to speak - especially in an encouraging environment. Don`t forget: To get something different you have to do something different. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ If would like to talk, please hop on my calendar for a complimentary 30-minute conversation. The link will be in the comments. Your English will thank you for it! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #business #innovation #creativity #strategy #empoweryourenglishvoice   Image by Pexels.
