Fasulye (Fasulye2009 on YouTube) and I have been talking on Skype for over 2 years now, practicing the languages we have in common. This was the first time we met in person and we just wanted to make a short video, showing how we move from language to language normally as a way of keeping up our abilities in a number of foreign languages. Technology is great! :)

A lot of people are confused by the term "linguist". A linguist is a scientist of linguistics, not somebody who can speak many languages. I know many linguistics professors who are not sufficiently bilingual, but they can still call themselves linguists. Speaking and studying are two different things. Multilingual or polyglots speak many languages. And this ability is not related to the science of linguistics, although I'm sure linguists could study or analyze polyglots. Philology was replaced by linguistics and there aren't really any practitioners of it today, except Professor Arguelles. Professor Arguelles is not a polyglot unless he has the ability to speak the languages he studies.

JRuby is a top-notch Ruby implementation. It's also your gateway to polyglot heaven. Ruby can do anything, but it's not always the best tool for the job. With JRuby, you can take advantage of other JVM languages. Build part of your application in Clojure, taking advantage of its immutability and transactional guarantees. Build another part in Scala, leveraging its flexible static type system and actor libraries like Akka. Use JavaScript via Rhino to test pages or run JS on the server alongside Rails. Use Mirah to build fast-as-Java algorithms in a Rubilicious syntax. The JVM is a haven for polyglots, and JRuby's your ticket to ride.

piflss.org Alexander Arguelles describes a polyglot institute for foreign language study skills. This will be a unique learning environment where students can learn how to learn languages, that is, how to study efficiently and effectively. This training in lifelong transferable skills will be of interest to all students of foreign languages, whether they aspire to international careers that will require them to learn multiple languages over the years or whether they consciously aspire to become polyglots. The emphasis on independent, autodidactic learning should also appeal to those interested in alternative educational reforms such as homeschooling and unschooling.

Felix (youtube channel www.youtube.com who is Belgian, is yet another of the many polyglots who have learned a number of languages from different parts of the globe. It is a wonderful way to discover human creativity. Youtube makes these people visible, and hopefully inspires others to emulate them. I apologize for the sound quality of Felix's recording but that is what we sometimes get with Skype and Call Recorder I guess.

a response to steve kaufmann's and Moses' video regarding linguistics and language learning.
A response of sorts to Christophe Clugston's claims that someone who speaks several languages is not a linguist, that the word polglot doesn't exist in the English language, that it is impossible to have a hobby learning languages, and that the only people who know anything about languages are linguists.
