The Bible of the Language Learners and Polyglots
I'm proud to present to you the oldest and the most modern idea ever created to compile the ideas of skilled polyglots. This unique and ultimate guide reveals how to learn any language by many how studied them.Welcome to The Bible of the Language Learners and Polyglots! This idea came from a project started by Claude Cartaginesse 10 years ago or so, where he put together some internet and YouTube polyglots.
In the beginning I got in touch with the author asking him to continue his project. He agreed to it, and I was very happy. Firstly, I intended to keep the same guests and invite just a few more, but after reading the stories we had received I decided to write a brand new project. Another reason for doing this was that the polyglots from the first book are mostly very well known, such as the great Benny Lewis, a person to whom the polyglot community owes a lot. Due to his popularity and charisma, he brought media and the average person's attention to the polyglot world.
Therefore after re-reading The Polyglot Project I really wanted to have something unique. Seen as in some other knowledge fields we have the Bible of Mac, The Bible of C#, The Massage Bible and obviously the Christian Bible, the name 'Bible' just came to mind. It felt appropriate because it's a common and sometimes a commercial name from other knowledge fields.
The format was intentionally inspired on the Christian Bible and other religious scriptures, so that it would be easier to find out about and even to quote the polyglots as in Jimmy 3:4-6, i.e. The Polyglot Gospel of Jimmy, chapter 3, verses from 4 to 6. Now we have an "official" way to quote inspirational polyglot ideas, and prove the source.
I really hope this book reaches the hands of many people.

Using this format, we have released a more generic book with several chapters. The idea is to put together stories from polyglots and their main strategies.
- how did they study languages?
- what kind of learning techniques did they use?
- what struggles did they have?
- where did they get their motivation?
- and much much more!
They are not necessarily well-known ones, but skilled and sometimes anonymous. We know a lot about the great polyglots as they have their own books, seminars and other things. I wanted to include average people who mastered some languages and get the best advice from them.

As it is very cheap, I highly encourage you to buy bundles and give them as a gift.
