A Little Bit of Inspiration

All of us who have been struggling to learn a foreign language may have/ have probably /heard about this personage. Does the name Professor Alexander Arguelles ring a bell? Well, he is probably the most passionate/ ardent prolific language learner alive. If you still don’t know whom I’m talking about; then I suggest that you should go straight going directly to his website where he, with  total blatant honesty, reveals relates about his journey throughout of learning more than fifty languages. In summation,The  long and short of it is that he says that he considers the language learning foreign languages as his calling/ part of his nature/ essence, at to the point that he would devote of devoting each every second he had of his existence to the brushing  up of  those languages that he’s learning. And This is not just a casual remark on my part, for,  platitude, indeed, during his youth,  he would dedicate pretty much of all of his free time to studying, something which he would say as being part of  his  as he said “ monastic lifestyle”. One of his biggest challenges was mastering the German language, and in order to achieve it, he would even go went even to the point of going to live in that country, where  he enlisted a teacher  to help him reduce perfect  polished up  his German his accent, and he would  even, in his free time, transcribe word by word the pages of a book in order to for him to master the spelling. Likewise  with the Russian language ,  he had dedicated had been studying the language for almost throughout ten years to learn it, even though it was for just 15 minutes a day, as he was learning other languages as well (only 15 because he was also learn ing other several languages at the same time) and finally Eventually, he ended up living went to live in Russia, where he would read Russian literature  and simultaneously had  with a teacher, with whom he spent 6 hours everyday day .Listed  on his website is he also has a list of the books that he had read in various language, but, as far as Spanish literature  is concerned, the Spanish titles they are primarily old literatures written a long time ago of , which he did not mind reading , because he was not not only study just into the modern form of any language, for  but  he  is equally  passionate about all those ancient languages that are already archaic in nature Therefore,  he is just amazing!

Who vs Whom > Who describes the person doing the "verb" . / Whom describes the recipient of the "action of a verb". Ask yourself this question to test which to use. Who are you talking about ? I am talking about HIM . Then you should use WHOM > The person whom I told you about is here./ (With )whom were you talking to ? HIM!

The person who drinks too much ? Who drinks too much ? HE drinks too much . Then use "who".

The long and short of something > To say what you want to say without giving more detail about something.

Platitudes > remarks, often of a moral nature, that are heard so often that no one bothers too much when they are given as a friendly advice. > His stature allows him to dispense platitudes about life to the students without getting them bored.

Prolific > Producing a lot of something > A prolific writer 

Blatant > something that done openly without fear or shame / something that is obviously not right >a  blatant lie / He walked in and blatantly threw his weight around.

In summation (only use "In summation" at the end for your conclusion), He says that he considers the language learning as part of his essence, at to the point of devoting each second of his existence to brush up on those languages that he’s learning.

One of his big challenges was mastering German, and in order to achieve it, he went even to the point of going to live in the country, hiring a teacher to reduce his accent, and even in his free time transcribing word by word pages of a book in order to master the spelling (If the first verb of the set is in the progressive {going} then the following ones must match {hiring,transcribing}) . Same with Russian; he had been studying the language for ten years only 15 minutes per day (only 15 because he was also learning several other languages at the same time) and finally he went to live in Russia where he would read Russian literature, and simultaneously work with a teacher 6 hours per day. On his website, he also has a list of the books that he has read in each language, and as far as Spanish concerns, the Spanish titles are primarily old literature, because he not only studies modern languages, in fact, he is passionate about all those ancient languages already out of use. And He is just amazing!
