I'll observe for other languages.

Ms. Lomb Kato who acquired 16 foreign languages, prefers to be called 'Linguist' to 'Polyglot'. As her definition, the former is more active learner and the latter is more passive acquire due to environment such as parents company transfer to foreign country etc. She is the former and this book is written for those people who makes effort to learn foreign languages. At Starbucks She says "Language is the only thing worth knowing even poorly". It's true. It is better to speak one phrase than nothing. She describes each language as architecture, Russian, Chinese, Italian,,, it's all the same, building, but different structure and style. Also she mentions that there is a common rule, every architecture needs framework , grammar, and four rooms as below. 1. Speak 2. Listening 3. Writing 4. Reading
