Say what you mean
In the film ‘The Breakup’ the two characters played by Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have a blazing row that seals the end of their relationship after a dinner party that doesn’t go quite as planned. If you’ve seen the film you might remember the exchange: “I want you to want to the do the dishes!” “Why would I want to do the dishes?” (You can remind yourself of the film on YouTube here) Now this may be the stereotypical example of the man in this exchange not getting the plot but the reality is that we both men and women spend a lot of their lives not getting the plot in their relationships. How many times have you been caught by this trap when you here the request: “You don’t need to buy me much, just put a little thought in to it”. How many times has the wrong ‘thought’ got us in to trouble? When two people disagree, the situation is not always as fundamental as it might at first seem. What we are saying is Love, as a value, is equivalent to certain behaviours. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Alexander Arguelles (Lessons in Polyglottery
With much trepidation, I hereby offer my linguistic biography at the specific request of several forum members. I hesitated to do so because when I have written anything of this ilk in the past, I have been accused of bragging and intimidation. My intention, both in moderating on the forum and in writing this specific piece, is the exact opposite. I very much want to encourage and counsel anyone who would like to tread the path of the polyglot. Here in my professional life, all I generally get to do is help people get a foothold in one language, and I feel that my real calling is to advise people who can conceive of learning ten or more. I honestly believe that anyone who is willing to work hard enough and intelligently enough at doing so can succeed. I was born into an exclusively English-speaking American household. I went to college at Columbia University in New York City from 1982-1986. Between the ages of 32 and 36 or 37, from 1996 2000/2001, is when I really became a polyglot.
