Why do I write a blog ?

To avoid social media. This blog is like a living book. I think I can go deeper in analysis and structure my thoughts rather than with social media. Social media are scams. Blogging is not dead. It's just the old SEO marketing blog trend that is dead. It was somehow very opportunistic. I think it's a good time to start a blog. At least if you care about bringing real deep interesting thoughts. Not...

[Part 6] 10+ years later, how did it goes ?

Fast forward, many things happened. I didn't focus mainly on personal acquisition, rather on methodology, system thinking, developing my problem solving skills. Now, I'm more into sharing what I've learned. That's the purpose of this blog. Also, I have several solutions to propose to you in order to optimize everything. So I'll keep it very short. You're currently reading the beginning of a new chapter. I...

[Part 5] Choosing a job

I'm realizing there's too much details to tell and it's going to be hard to boil down my language learning journey in a single short serie. The more I write, the more details come up in my mind. It's just crazy ... I'll try to make it easy to have a very big outline. So, let's get back to it. One more thing to keep in mind is at this time, I was about to get my A-grade. Thus, about to become a young adult. I...

[Part 4] A rational approach of things

In fact, you need to know something about me. I'm a rationalist. I'm not an emotional guy in the sense that I try to always make thoughful decision. I'm not a robot either but I do my best to be very rational. Indeed, I grew up doing a lot of maths when I was a kid. And honestly, I think people really underestimate the importance of maths. Maths is a tool to help you make better decision. Maths is the...

[Part 3] The problems I faced

At this time, after few months as an aspiring polyglot, I noticed a curious problem. In my opinion, hyperpolyglots focused too much on learning languages. Yeah, I know that sounds strange. But I'll make it more precise. They focus too much on learning languages but they don't emphasize too much on how to learn languages. To put it bluntly, there was no rock solid universal method. There were methods. But...

[Part 2] How I became passionated about languages ?

After watching the TV report about Tim Doner, the journey officially has begun. I started to search on the internet about Tim Doner. Watching videos on his Youtube Channel. Especially, the famous one were he speaks the 20 languages he knew. I soon realized that he was not alone. There were a lot of big names in this community. Richard Simcott, Luca Lampariello, Steve Kaufman, etc etc. Then, I started to...

[Part 1] Hyperpolyglot, what's that ?

Everything starts in 2013, I was living my life normally, browsing the web like everyday when suddenly, my dad yells my name to tell me to come to the livingroom. Usually, when he does that, it's to tell me to watch some random news coverage on TV that may interest me and very often not, the same way parents do nowadays by sending some random Facebook short on Whatsapp. I went there without much conviction...
