It would be interesting to know how much of the story of Don Quixote was inspired by the author's own life. Author's often do translate their experiences and observations into their writing. When you read a biography about Miguel Cervantes, you can find similarities and understand the philosophies that are often expressed in his most famous work. Miguel Cervantes struggled all of his life for the same achievements.
The autho was a son of a deaf surgeon, born in 1547, and also tried to make his fortune by taking up arms in 1570. He tried to make it as a playwright, which was considered more lucrative (and no doubt inspired some dialogue in Don Quixote about the perversity of plays), and failed. Don Quixote has inspired many artists in different fields. Fan of this book? GOETHE TESTS in English Chinese French German Japanese Russian Spanish EXERCISES.

Learning languages. Polyglot – learn a language like a Polyglott. What is a Polyglot A polyglot is a person who learns language to the point of high level of fluency. There have been famous and non famous polyglots in history. There was Cardinal Mezzofanti who learned some 38 languages, by studying morning to evening his whole life.
On the other hand my grandmother Anna Wolonick for example was fluent in five languages but never studied any languages formally, she simply lived in Eastern Europe during her teens. The word Polyglot comes from the the Ancient Greek language word πολύγλωττος (poluglōttos, ‘many-tongued, polyglot’), from πολύς (polus, ‘many’) + γλῶττα (glōtta, ‘tongue, language’). Does Polyglotism exist? Since I have taught and learned languages, I have not meet any real Polyglots. I have also seen multilingualism with people raised in Europe and living between two or three language zones. How to become a Polyglot Some polyglots learn several languages at once without getting jumbled in their polyglot brain.
