The HypoPolyglot

After a long winter break, I am back at it.... and looking forward to future episodes. Thanks for all the support and feedback.

In the latest installment, I break down the roles that nouns play - nice and simple.

Over the past 6 months, I conducted a survey in which 42 fellow hypopolyglots were asked to answer some basic questions about their study routines as well as offer advice they had on the topic of studying. And, my latest episode shares the results of this survey. So, check it out.

In today’s episode 11-13-2021, I respond to a listener who has asked me to share a few additional activities one can use to develop vocabulary.

Onomatopoeia are perhaps most widely known as the tools we use to communicate the sounds that objects, animals, and humans make. But, they can do much more than that! So, listen to my most recent episode to learn why you should add a few to your vocabulary.

Episode 32 "These are a few of my Spa-ah-nish things" hit the airwaves this evening. In this episode, I reply to John, who is currently studying German and Turkish, who asked , “Even though I am learning different languages, can you share the resources you are using to learn Spanish – and maybe include a brief explanation as to why you use that resource? I think this will really help me better gauge whether or not I am using the right stuff.” (And yes.....I gave the Sound of Music a little nod in the title of this episode - because...well....why not.)
