I couldn't agree more with his points. My Japanese teacher has a better English vocabulary than I do - but she'll often struggle with "basic" words "everyone" knows!<p>It's silly that the ability to speak and communicate is placed less importantly than 100% proper grammar or an expansive vocabulary.<p>I find most polyglots, especially ones capable of holding conversations, do not value 100% correct grammar or large vocabularies. They make do with what little knowledge they have and they constantly improve what they know.<p>Other awesome polyglots to follow (if you're interested in learning languages or linguistics)
