I think otherwise: his observations and ideas are so interesting but he has such a nervous style of speaking that it is hard to follow and not become nervous, too. I was astonished that he spoke about meditation and breathing exercises because this I would have been suggesting him to do
As I listened to Professor Arguelles I couldn't help but think of Cal Newport's "Deep Work". The Professor is living proof of this deep work concept in practice.
I used to watch Professor Arguelles' videos years ago! I was afraid something terrible happened to him because I haven't seen anything from him in such a long time. Glad to know he is around and about still :)
His discipline is something unachievable..he is kind of a saint of languages or something like that..I really admire Alexander...great speech here..very passionate
He is purring because he is a cat. I am learning languages because I'm a polyglot. So true, but I haven't realised it before. Thank you for giving me this insight!
Same here - I really enjoyed his videos and his explanations are straight forward and so clear. He was one of the first people I heard explain how to do the shadowing method. I like to rewatch his videos sometimes as well.
good video! The most important thing in life is knowledge of foreign languages! Thanks to foreign languages you can realize all your dreams and realize your grandiose ambitions! I would like to recommend all the practices of Yuriy Ivantsiv ''Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language". This book will be an indispensable helper, a handbook for every person who studies a foreign language! This book contains invaluable tips, questions and answers, and solutions to problems faced by anyone who studies a foreign language! Knowledge is power! And knowledge of foreign languages is your power multiplied by many times! Success to all in self-development!
summary: he wanted to be a polyglot he resisted the commitment to it for 30 years, even more than that he wanted to be a writer which he started doing after 50 years. he felt that same resistance again but it was pretty easy for him because he had already developed the auto didactic skills needed to pursuit something like that.

I never realized how witty the Prof. Arguelles could be. Really great, practical information here.
Humor is a sign of great intellect
I wish the professor would post more videos :(
He has such a lovely voice. I could listen to him reading the phone book... preferably in Russian.
I actually agree. He has a curiously inviting voice, a very light baritone.
That as well as his charming, articulate accent.
He did read Assimil Russian in one if his videos

Great sense of humor, great life stories, great ideas for learning languages, a motivating guy.
As I listened to Professor Arguelles I couldn't help but think of Cal Newport's "Deep Work". The Professor is living proof of this deep work concept in practice.
Excellent point - I like professor Alex's quote: "You just have to show up and do the work."
I could listen to Prof. Arguelles all day long. He and Lydia Machová are my favourite polyglots.
this was such an enjoyable speech to listen to

What a well-sauced professor. Amazing presentation.
He is purring because he is a cat. I am learning languages because I'm a polyglot. So true, but I haven't realised it before. Thank you for giving me this insight!
I am sad professor doesn't do videos anymore. So much quality, very motivational, I rewatch some of the videos from time to time. :(
I'm in this phase of constant planning and preparing. :)
Me too
Same here - I really enjoyed his videos and his explanations are straight forward and so clear. He was one of the first people I heard explain how to do the shadowing method. I like to rewatch his videos sometimes as well.
He started again
Glad someone else feels that same way.
Great presentation! Very informative👍
He's kind of a different guy form what I read in . I'd really like to see more of his appearance! So inspiring !
Zen and the art of learning all the languages.
He seems a little cowed. He's a living legend!
My favorite part starts at 28:29 .
my tip for NES that are interested in language learning is to expose yourself to as least english as possible.

About the stamina and the routine: be a house wife and a mother😂😂, it is typically men that talk about creating routines (in language learning)
How can I add community captions to this? It’s excluding Deaf people.
