This blog will be about polyglottism and interesting bits and pieces about languages worldwide, multilingual living and about cultural diversity and different worldviews. The focus of this blog will be on languages that are not so commonly known and which are rarely studied, so not on the “big languages” for which there are dozens of resources elsewhere and which most people choose to study.

I will start by briefly outlining what this blog will be about and what it will *not* be about and what you can expect from following polyglottando.

Polyglottando will be an exploration and a ´journey´ around the world of languages, especially the ´minor´, less-well-known languages which few people choose to learn, and about interesting insights into cultural diversity, customs and traditions and cultural peculiarities from countries around the world. I will also share useful phrases and interesting expressions from languages worldwide with you.

Since I consider languages merely a tool and a means to an end to pursue all of my other interests, but not as a ´science´, I don´t enjoy discussions about grammar or linguistic peculiarities, and my blog will not treat these topics because of this. Nor will this blog sell you a particular “infallible” one-size-fits-all method of learning languages, since there is no such thing and any achievements in multilingual language proficiency always boil down to persistant regular and daily practice over decades in the end. I am not a language teacher and wouldn´t enjoy to be one, so this blog won´t “teach” you anything in the strict sense, neither a language nor any method. Moreover, as I am completely against the media hype and celebrity cult which pervades society nowadays, and also the polyglot community, I will *not* cater to this trend in any way and so you won´t ever get to see any youtube videos or similar from me.

I am looking forward to an interesting global journey with you! 🙂 Let´s depart!
