Talking different languages is more and more essential because we are living in a world that is always moving. We can't stop, for work or enjoyment, we are traveling and meeting new people.
On the other hand, it isn't easy. You must be revising them every week because you tend to forget them if you don't use them. It is not like riding a bike or swimming. If you do not use them, they will leave you. And keeping a good level in all of them must be harder and harder.

ResponderEliminarIf you know more languages it will be better for you, because that will increase your chances of getting into any job, I hate languages but I have no choice but to do what I can so that I can do better. Since I started high school I have had both languages: both English and French and I have always been better at English than French. I hate French but I have to study both. To travel the best language is English since it is the largest language spoken in the world.

For me, the true polyglot, he must know almost: Spanish, English, French and German. I think those idioms are the most important for someone can become a true polyglot, but if you want be the best, you must learn Arab or Japanese, or can be Chinese, too. A teenager, in USA, with his laptop, he listened everyday songs in different idioms with subtitle in his idiom. Now, he has got fourteen years old and he knows more twenty idioms as Spanish, French, German, Arab, Japanese, Chinese... That is be a true polyglot.

ResponderEliminarThe frontliners in Spain are the same as in most countries: people who are in direct contact with people who have or might have COVID-19. These people include the police forces, firefighters, doctors and nurses. However, in my opinion there are frontliners who are forgotten by many of us like cleaners in hospitals, rubbish collectors, supermarket employees, bus and taxi drivers, etc. These people have been essential workers who have risked their health during the worst days of the pandemic.

ResponderEliminarWhat is a polyglot? A polyglot is a person who understands and knows how to use several languages, with other words, a polyglot is a person who is able to understand written texts in several languages and speak these languages fluently.
EliminarBeing a polyglot, on the one hand, has many advantages. Polyglots can travel without worrying about communication, as they can communicate with all kinds of people. Being able to speak fluently in several languages, they have no problems coping with difficult situations, and this helps them to have a more comfortable travel. Another advantage is that these people have a better chance of finding the job of their life, since being better trained they are usually chosen over those who don’t have these characteristics.
On the other hand, being a polyglot is not easy at all, since in order to understand a language you should never stop practicing it, and learning a new language is not easy either, because you have to be very constant and you have to dedicate a lot of time to it.
As I see it, although being a polyglot is a very hard task, it is worth making an effort and being constant to achieve it, because the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, since I can’t name any disadvantage.
Susana P.Bosch 1ºBACH

ResponderEliminarA polyglot is a person versed in several languages, or a text written in as many, reserving the term bilingual for those who master two or three languages.
ResponderEliminarAlthough the english is the most important, we should to learn more languages because they can be very useful when you travel to another country and they allow you to talk to people who live there and learn about other cultures. They are very important to find a job too.
Raúl García Jiménez 4ºA
Nowadays, learning new languages is very important for our future and there are bilingual and polyglot people. Many people will wonder what it is to be a polyglot, the answer is that a polyglot is a person who speaks and understands several languages, but it could be a text written in different languages (more than 2).
ResponderEliminarThe difference between bilingual and polyglot people is that the first type of people only speaks 2 languages and the polyglot people speak several languages.
Being a polyglot has many advantages, among them, we highlight the possibility of finding a job. There are few job offers and knowing many languages can open doors when it comes to finding a permanent position. Moreover, speaking many languages allows you to travel all over the world. Most of the people who don't travel abroad are because they don´t know the language and are afraid of it. To this, we add that it helps you to suffer in the web.
Scientists have shown that being a polyglot person improves cognitive flexibility and creates a faster learning process, which is very good for you.
But it is not all, being a polyglot person could have disadvantages. It is very difficult to speak different languages and don’t forget the vocabulary of the languages. What’s more, learning different foreign languages requires more time and more effort. You should be a determined person and work very hard.
To sum up, being a polyglot person has advantages and disadvantages. In my case I only speak properly Spanish but I’m studying English and I would like to dominate it in the future. Likewise, I would like to learn to speak a little French. It could help me to find a job sooner and to travel to many places in the world. I would like to visit London, New York, where people speak English and to Paris, where people speak French. I think that travelling people improve their pronunciation and learn many new things, the pronunciation and the hearing are significantly improved. We also learn things about other types of cultures and traditions
A polyglot is a person who speaks and understands several languages. I would love to know how to speak many languages. At the moment I can only speak Spanish, English and a little bit of French, but when I grow up I will try to learn as many languages as I can. I have always liked them a lot and I think it is very interesting to know many of them.
ResponderEliminarOnce you learn one language, it´s much easier for you to learn another, and so on. This is because you know more words and vocabulary and some are even the same, so it´s easier for you to remember. There are words called "cognates" that are the same in Spanish as in English, such as actor, angel, general, real, radio ...
Knowing different languages is great for travelling abroad. So you can understand everything. Most people who don´t travel abroad are because they don´t know the language and are afraid of it. I would love to be able to visit all the countries of the world that I want and to be able to understand their language in order to know their culture. Although I don't really have much problem because English, Spanish or French are spoken in most of the countries I want to visit.
One of my biggest dreams is to live some time in New York. English is spoken there, so I have been really lucky because, after Spanish, which is my mother tongue, English is the language I dominate the most. There is still a long time for this to happen, so, in the mean time, I will work hard to perfect my English and fulfil my dream.
A polyglot is a person who is able to speak many languages. I think these people are incredible because they can travel the world with less difficulty expressing themselves and that must be very good. I also think that speaking many languages is very difficult and I admire the people who do it a lot, since I only speak Spanish, English although not very well and a little French, and for me languages are difficult to learn, but I would love to in the future learn more languages.
ResponderEliminarSometimes I stop to think and I realize that these people have had to spend a lot of their lives studying, because although it seems that learning foreign languages is easy, it is really complicated and they have had to work hard and study a lot. But these people have studied correctly, since to learn a language you have to understand it, since it is something of practice, it is not like history that you have to study it by heart but you have to understand it.
A polyglot is a fascinating person since he is capable of traveling and learning cultures from other countries and even continents, so I would love to be one, but that requires a lot of effort and also that you are good at languages, something that I do not know. I'm not good at it
A polyglot is a person who speaks many languages and who has the ability to master more than three languages whitout any kind of problem, these people have more facilities to travel since they speak the lenguage perfectly and at the time of comunication with another they can do it without problem.
ResponderEliminarBeing a polyglot has benefits that differentiate someone who speaks several languages from others, I would love to know how to speakas many languages as they do, but learning so many lenguages is not easy, you have to study a lot and communicate with people to learn more.
I think that being a polygot must be fascinating since you get to know new cultures without any problem and also when you go to look for work you have it much easier because there will be people from other countries who do not understand our lenguage and because thre are people at work who speak their lenguage, everything is much easier.

ResponderEliminarA polyglot is a person who speaks different languages. It is different from a bilingual in that a bilingual can speak only two different languages fluently, and a polyglot can speak smooth more than two languages fluently. A polyglot can be a book written in many languages too.
ResponderEliminarBeing a polyglot has many different advantages. Knowing two languages can be very useful, it can help you find a job, travel or surf the web. Well, imagine knowing more than two languages. That´s quite better. You´ll find job easier, you´ll be able to travel to many different countries, and you´ll be able to read books, news or magazines in many different languages.
It can sound very good, but it is harder than it looks. Learning a foreign language is hard and it requires a lot of time and effort. Then, learning different languages requires more time, more effort, and of course, money. It can be very useful, but it is really hard and you need to be determined.
In summary, I think that being a polyglot is really good and it can help you a lot in the future, but you have to know your limits, don´t try to exceed you studying, or you will waste your time and you won´t learn anything.
David Bacas 1º Bach
A polyglot is a person who speaks several languages. There is no specific number of languages that one needs to speak to be considered a polyglot.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, being a polyglot has a lot of benefits. Experts say that language learning is one of the most practical and effective ways to exercise our brain. In addition, it delays the effects of diseases associated with aging, such as Dementia or Alzheimer. What’s more, learning other languages can bring many job opportunities for you in other countries.
On the other hand, there are disadvantages, too. Mixing languages can be one of them. It is very common to see people start a sentence with one language and then finish it with another.
Moreover, learning several languages takes a time commitment. This means you might not be able to spend time with your friends or do other activities.
To sum up, being a polyglot brings an opportunity for a better life. You will be able to understand other cultures, expand your business opportunity and enjoy every single benefit of it!
Polyglot is called the person who can speak different languages.
ResponderEliminarPeople who are polyglots by understanding several languages can travel through different countries of different languages being able to communicate with their inhabitants.
And thus being able to learn much more of these than a person who cannot speak so many languages.
