I love learning foreign languages. In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years, currently working on my eighth one.
When people find that out about me, they always ask me "How do you do that?" "What's your secret?"
find sth. out - 找出什么
And to be honest, for many years, my answer would be "I don't know.I simply love learning languages."
But people will were never happy with that answer. They wanted to know why there are standing they are spendingyears trying to learn even one language, never treating influencyachieving fluency. And here I come, learning one language after another.

They wanted to know the secret of polyglots, people who speak a lotslot of languages. And

polyglots - 多语者|made 时态问题|a lot of 不是lots|enables 使能够
I decided to meet other people like me and find that out.
The best place to meet a lot of polyglots is event where hundreds of languages lovers meet in one place to pratice their languages. There several of such polyglot events organized all around the world. And so I decided to go there and ask polylots and ask polyglots about the methods that they use.
