As someone who grew up in Norway, Norwegian has always been my mother tongue. Alongside it, English naturally became a part of my life through school and everyday use, allowing me to maintain a high level of proficiency without much deliberate effort. However, it was only as an adult that I ventured into learning other languages, which has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and rewards that come with this pursuit.
Learning a new language can be both challenging and rewarding. One effective technique that polyglots often use is called "laddering." This method involves using one foreign language to learn another, which can be particularly useful if you already have a good grasp of a second language. In this article, we'll explore how you can use laddering to transition from Italian to French, with specific steps and tips to guide you along the way.
The idea of becoming a polyglot—fluent in multiple languages—can be incredibly appealing. But is it the right path for you? In this article, we explore the pros and cons of dedicating yourself to learning several languages, helping you make an informed decision.

They rank languages based on difficulty and list the exact hours needed to learn them. Their table rankings are shown below, and are based on the difficulty for an English speaking person.

A polyglot is someone who can speak several languages fluently. In my view, a true polyglot can speak four or more languages at a B2 level or higher. The term comes from the Greek words "poly," meaning "many," and "glotta," meaning "tongue" or "language." Polyglots have the ability to switch between languages with ease and often possess a deep appreciation for different cultures and linguistic structures.
