- Key Elements Of Learning A Foreign Language Grammar
By: Michael Gabrikow | - Think about a language's grammar as the glue that keeps the puzzle pieces tight to form the bigger picture.

Not only you won't be able to make yourself understood ...

- Becoming A True Polyglot
By: Michael Gabrikow | - When hearing the word "polyglot" you probably think of some fancy upper-class genius speaking 6-7 or more languages. Unfortunately this idea that being a polyglot is an "unreachable" is way too common nowadays. Technically, you can be considered a polyglot if you can fluently speak 3 or more languages. Well 3 or more languages isn't that hard to achieve, considering one is your native one and the other two can be studied in a matter of years. Still, being a true polyglot requires much more and i ...

- 3 Ways To Improve Your Vocabulary
By: Michael Gabrikow | - Building up your vocabulary is arguably the most important part of a language learning process.

That's why it's crucial to have a good vocabulary work-up at the beginning of your studies but also to keep building it up as you go. Here are a few ways to do this.
