A Little Bit of Inspiration

All of us who have been struggling to learn a foreign language, have probably heard about this personage:Does the name Professor Alexander Arguelles ring a bell? Well, he is probably the most prolific language learner alive. If you still don’t know who I’m talking about, then I’d suggest going directly to his website where he, with a blatant honesty, reveals his journey throughout more than fifty languages. 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. And This is not just a platitude, indeed, during his youth he would dedicate pretty much all of his free time to studying, following as he said “a monastic lifestyle”. 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!
